0:00.0	Hi friends, it's Monday, it's together Monday, but I do not have a together run for you
0:12.4	today again. And last week, I did not give you a together run. At the time, I was able
0:20.9	to reason that with, well, the weather has been, I don't want to say terrible because
0:28.9	it's all part of the seasons. We had some winter weather here in St. Louis. And so running, it was
0:37.9	also very cold, running with a microphone was not really an option, thinking that our next week
0:44.1	I'll get it done. Until Wednesday rolled around, and usually I do my together runs on Wednesday,
0:51.4	Thursday or Friday. And I took, what did I take? I took two days off in a row because the
1:00.6	roads were so icy. I mean, everything was so icy. It was like a skating rink, like it was one
1:05.9	of those situations where when you were trying to walk, you are taking the tiniest of steps
1:12.7	because you are walking on a nice rink. Again, of course, that's not realistic for recording

1:45.6	My husband is gone all weekend. So it was just me all day Saturday, all day Sunday. I'll see him
1:51.5	tomorrow. Oh, today, as you were listening to this. And that's fine. That's absolutely fine. I'm
1:58.0	fine with my girls of what one and four. But I also knew that that 90 minutes was my one time
2:05.7	during that weekend to potentially take some space and take some time for myself. And
2:14.8	actually be able to run without worrying I was going to slip. And there still was a lot of ice
2:18.8	patches to be fair. And I just didn't do it. I didn't, I didn't want to do it. I feel guilt
2:25.6	saying that I know I don't need to. I didn't want to do it. And I just have been realizing more and
2:33.8	more recently that there's so many things I do. And I suspect you do for the sake of not wanting to
