My run today was a “Calgon take me away” reprieve.  Those of you that know me, know that I need my “Jennie” time. Today was a perfect example.

I am now working from home, which is great most days, however, the kids didn’t have school today. My 14 year old daughter had three friends spend the night now they are practicing for their band competition.  I’m about ready to go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what did I do? I laced ‘em up and went for a jog. This was a much needed break from the chaos that was ensuing in my home.

As moms we feel that taking time for ourselves to decompress is selfish but as the saying goes, “If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others.”

Put yourself first and run on!
