I don't get to run outdoors much, simply because of how things go here from day to day. Mrs. LB leaves for work at around 5:30 a.m. so during the week my window is quite narrow, and I haven't done a pre-5 a.m. run in a long time. I really do need to consider that more of an option, especially as the summer months hit and the sun comes up earlier.
Usually I have a window of two hours, at least Tuesday through Thursday when Kenna's at preschool, to hit the gym, but if other things come up it can be difficult. Such as today. I'm getting ready to take Kennedy to preschool and I have about two hours before Yvie's out of school. I was all set for a gym workout when I realized that I hadn't volunteered in Yvie's class for a while. Like, more than a month.
With her school year nearly over, I decided to scrap the gym workout and go to her class. I guess that's why I won't run a half-marathon in under two hours (if I ever made that a goal). Oh well. Workouts come and go, and I'll have a chance to do the same workout tomorrow, but Yvie's days in Kindergarten are numbered (20, to be precise).
This summer when the girls are out of school, I can start to plan some days around the gym and things will run much smoother. Maybe no outdoor runs but gym trips are always fun.

Time spent in your daughter's classroom was an excellent trade off. It fall perfectly into my no regrets philosophy. You'll probably never remember the missed run, but you'll always remember the Daddy moments.
Time with the little ones is always well spent, I'm sure she was excited you were there :)
Ah those darn kids... Just kidding! You made the right choice, Dad, but then, you know that already...
