He wants to go bike riding, run the monument steps, ride his new motorcycle, burn off some stress and frustration and needs ...
I totally get this!
In the summer we plan mid-week dates and slip away for outdoor adventures. It has been a while, so with creative coordination I planned a surprise mid-week rendezvous and he only knew to meet me at my house at a certain time and to bring workout clothes.
Even though it has only been months, I forgot how much I love mid-week dates.
Time together alone and a surprise activity ... racquetball!
It was fun playing together in a high energy sport with competition and a LOT of smack talk!
I cannot win against him in anything [Except that one glorious day when we rode our bikes 34.8 miles and I won beating him to the finish line only because he dropped his hoodie on the bike trail, but that counts!], but it was competitive in nature, a great workout and challenged us both in a good workout filled with laughs.
There is a lot to be said for creative planning that energizes and rejuvenates winter-worn spirits. There is more to be said for mid-week dates that refresh us when we both work so hard.
Our secret escapes hold incredible worth.
Spring is coming and we are ready!
