Keep Calm and Train On

I don't believe in making up for missed workouts.

First of all, I try really hard not to miss a workout.  But it does happen.  Life happens.  And for as much as I would love to think I am in control of my life, I have to realize that I am not.  Sometimes I'm just tired, sometimes I'm sick, sometimes the kids are sick... sometimes I'm tired - did I say that already?  There is nothing I can do about it.  So every once in a while (or a week), workout (... or two) gets missed.  I don't try to cram those missed workouts into the rest of my week.  First of all, I don't have time for that.  I'm doing all I can right now to get in the workouts I do.  Doubling up on an day - ain't gonna happen.  

So what the heck am I supposed to do when I miss?

Nothing - Bag it..  I like to try a positive spin and tell myself that I'm getting a bonus day of rest.  I may shed a little tear or two if I were really looking to that early morning tempo run.  After that, move on to the next day.
