What Plan B?

I'm surprised that after 30 years of knowing myself I still learn something new about my personality every once in a while. You would think that I would know myself like the back of my hand by now...hey, where'd that freckle come from? Anyway, I think this is one of those situations where I knew this about myself already but never really knew what to call it other than what I refer to as being "The Lazy Triathlete" since that's when this trait tends to surface most often. If my plan for the day is to do an open water swim at the lake and the park at the lake happens to be closed for whatever reason I have no problem justifying to myself that I have made a concerted effort to get a workout in and it just wasn't meant to be. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 and no plan B. Guess I might as well go home and play Guitar Hero because pulling out the bike trainer or hitting the gym would be the result of having a plan B.

This also reflects itself when running errands. I know the places that I'm going, I know what I need to get while I'm there and I have no intentions of going anywhere else while I'm out. If another store or location gets thrown into the mix I get really frustrated because now a plan B has disrupted my one and only plan A. But the caveat is that if another location is thrown in before I leave the house then that is usually alright as long as it's somewhere that I want to go or I am promised ice cream or some other form bribery in return for the extra trip. But suggesting another stop after the car has been started and we have pulled out of the driveway is going to get you the ole stink eye look.
