Unexpected

After work I was geared up and ready to go, when I got an unexpected phone call to help my dad.  I can't say no to my daddy, but I wasn't sure how this was going to work out for my workout.  I was almost out the door. 

"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade".  So basically, I did what he had asked and then this is where my routine took a turn.  He wanted to go and visit his 89 year old friend whose birthday was today.  I had him take me to the place and then I ran/walked home.  We had made a plan.  This was very unexpected but it worked out perfectly.  Even though I knew where I was going, I didn't know how long it would talk me.  With this minor change up, I didn't even realize that I was exercising.  I like the fact that I was concentrating the differences of the scenery instead of run.  It seems that minor changes help me out to not be so bummed about exercise.  These past couple of days I've been pleasantly surprised how well training is going. 

How have you made lemonade today or in the past?  Did you just throw out the lemons or did you make something out of them?  Maybe these tips will help me again in the future.  :)
