Should I or shouldn't I?

The great thing about summer is having the mornings free to exercise. I've been running a lot, plus have increased my strength training using our new home gym, and have been feeling pretty good. Having said that, there is such a thing as over-doing it! Usually, I take every opportunity to exercise because you never know what might impede it the next day (usually housework, but you all know how I feel about that). Sometimes I start thinking about the things I have to do, and the things I want to do, realizing they are not always the same! So, while I want to exercise today I'm feeling sore from my run yesterday and might skip it. But, my dilemma is, if I don't exercise, then I have time to clean the bathrooms, which I really don't want to do. What should I do? Run, or clean???

Updates.....

Andrew made it home safely after being gone for two weeks. We missed him terribly (probably me most of all). He said camp was a lot of fun, the food wasn't as good this year as last year, and he finished an additional three merit badges. He LOVED the surprise he found in his room, so much he dropped his pack and fell to the floor. We bought a home gym, and for lack of a better place to put it, for his room. It belongs to the family, and I have already used it twice, so the expectation is that he keeps the floor space around it clean so we have easy access. Of course he's the neat one so I don't see any problem with that.

My new adventure with Marie is going to be fun. It's exciting to collaborate on a blog. The name is 'Two sister, two kitchen', which is really a work in progress.

School starts two weeks from today, although Jessica has some kind of meeting almost every day until then. We need to do some back to school shopping. I suppose we'll fit it in somehow. I'm a sucker at Staples or Office Depot. I love markers and cool notebooks.

We've had a fairly mild summer so far. There have only been two days the temp. has been over 100 (very rare). The area averages 22 (100 degree) days a year. My fear is we'll get them all at once. It still stays warm here into September, but at least it's cool at night (usually).
