What to do?

Saturday mornings I have a very important, very critical choice to make. Do I go for my long run, or do I go to garage sales?


I'm sad to say that garage sales have taken a back seat this year. And I'm starting to get worried. My stash of clothes for next year is not so stashy. I'm not ashamed to admit that I find most of my kids clothes at garage sales (you just can't beat getting a pair of jeans for 50 cents). But I haven't been to many garage sales this year because, among other things, I've been trying to get my long runs in.


Dang. It's such a hard decision to make. If I don't wake up and go running really early, I miss my chance because then it gets too hot and the day starts filling up with other things to do. On the other hand, if I don't get to the garage sales right when they start, I miss out on all the good stuff. What a conundrum! Seriously it keeps me up at night. Which reminds me, maybe I should head to bed. I've got to go running in the morning...or maybe hit the garage sales. Ugh!

You just need to improvise. Run the garage sale routes and carry a back pack.. Geeze its not that hard!

Long runs are such a pain! It's just so hard to find that much time. Garage sales here are the bomb. Because of HOAs there all on the same weekend. They have them twice a year. I can't wait!

I just can't be objective on this one because I hate running so very much. But I also hate getting up early, and garage sales require that too, so I haven't been to one....well...ever really. Anyway, what was my point? Oh, right, I hate running.
