Oh, you know...
That time when you try to go for a simple 30-minute, 3-mile run with the baby and the dog... and then the baby starts crying 1.5 miles along ... which is when you realize you forgot her pacifier.
Your next 1 mile is spent balanced between getting her out of the stroller to comfort her, calling hubby to please bring you a pacifier -- but he is in a work meeting, so you're on your own for at least 30 minutes, and putting her back in the stroller and running as fast as you can thinking that maybe you can make it home really fast (while she's wailing).
Finally at 2.5 miles, you surrender. The baby comes out of the stroller, and you walk the .5 mile left of the way home, with her on your hip. Dog leash and stroller in one hand, and baby bouncing on the other hip.
My 30-minute run became a 60 minute excursion -- 20 minutes of running, 20 minutes of soothing, and 20 minutes of walking.
Workout? Yes.
The one you expected? No.
