what was I thinking?

This is the way I work.
Today was a very nice day, it didn't start out too hot. I've been thinking I need to build my stamina up again. I know it's only been three weeks since my surgery but I'm feeling pretty good just no stamina.
I've been walking Mr.Man to school and I really enjoy it, particularly since we got our jogging stroller out of storage (my parents house).
I needed to take a bunch of packages to the post office.
SO....I decided I would walk MR.Man to school and then walk to the post office.
Brilliant idea, I know!
The school is .5 miles from our house.....and I'm not sure how much further the post office is. I'm guessing another mile. (I'll have to check that out tomorrow).
I took MR.Man to school (feeling good) tell some other moms my plan (can't back out now), then I head off toward the post office.
I got about another.25 miles and I hit the wall (can't breath, throat hurts((I didn't bring water...What?!)) yep really feeling I just had surgery 3 weeks ago) But I can't turn back and I think the temperature just went up about 20 degrees.
I called MDH and tell him what I'm doing so he can give me a pep talk (yep, he got a good chuckle).
Walked and Walked.
Sang Pioneer Children Sang as they Walked and Walked and Walked andWalkedandwalkedandwalkedandwalkedandwalkedandwalked andwalked......AND...Walked (in my head...I didn't want people to think I was even crazier than they already were thinking.)
Finally made it to the post office.
Some old man asked me if I was okay.
Then he told me sweet cheeks was adorable.
I smiled and said thank you.
Walked right into the post office......no line....no chance to catch my breath.
The guy behind the counter (who's getting to know me quite well now) asked me if I'm okay.
I'm sweating.....I know my face is beet red...but I'm okay.
Got my packages mailed.
(Oh yeah, the post office is by Alberducks ((what we like to call it "quack")) chicken's on sail at alberducks)
Decide to buy some chicken...might as well I'm here.....see the watermelon's on sale...buy a watermelon too.....ohyeah...I've got to get it home now.....checker laughed at me.
I headed home, two packages of chicken, package of cookies, and a watermelon...one stroller and one toddler.
I called Nicole to help pep talk me home.
Yep..she laughed too.
Finally made it home.
Sweet Cheeks was asleep by the time We got home.
I was a big sweaty mess...pitted out and everything.
But hey I did it.
And I realized it really wasn't that bad.
I think I'll do it again......next week.
