After being violently ill yesterday I was surprised to feel pretty good this morning after a good night's sleep. Must have just been a 24 hour bug. I ran 6 miles overground today, nice and slow, in 1 mile loops by my house. 3 loops in one direction and reversed for the other 3 loops to keep the wear and tear even on my ankles. It felt really good. Between loops I would run through the house and do a head count and check the kids, which they found quite entertaining! "Mom! Why are you RUNNING in the HOUSE?!" I would come through the back door, dash down the hallway, through the kitchen and living room to ensure all was well, and back down the hallway and out the door. Vanessa is better. I had to give her one breathing treatment last night but she has no troubles this morning and is back to her active and mischievous self. It is a sad day today--my husband David's late wife's grandmother died yesterday. I did not know her well but Grandma Kathy is devastated and David is sad too. The kids did not know her incredibly well either but I suspect the older boys in particular will have some troubles since they have already experienced a lot of loss in their lives(their biological mother about 6 years ago). So, keep us in your prayers. |
