Emily is starting to get sick.  She had a rough night last night.  She had an accident at 1am, which I had to take care of even though she wanted her mommy to.  Then she had another accident and started throwing up later.  But when I got up this morning at 5:30am, I didn't feel sleep deprived.  So, that was good.  However, I had the runs.  I tried to take care of it, but as soon as I started putting my running socks on, the runs became the squirts.  So back to the drawing board.  And by drawing board I mean toilet.  Oh.  You knew that?  Finally I was ready to run.  I was hoping to go 5.4 miles, but my back started hurting, so I cut it short.  Then I got ready for work and decided to ride my bike since I didn't have to put Emily on the bus.  9.25 miles at 13.4 mph.  Shoulda left 10 minutes before than what I did, but oh well.

My back really started to hurt during the day.  I was really hoping my bike ride home wouldn't aggravate it more.  9.75 miles home, cuz I take a different route.  I think it did loosen up my back some.  I tried out my new TENS unit for the first time and iced my back.  I feel better now, but should probably take tomorrow off from running.  :(

Poor Emily and poor Burt. At least you still got out and ran.

Nice day of running and cross training and toilet spraying. Rest that back of yours and restart the cycle :)

Adam - I had the tri-fecta going. Or the tri-fecal.

Claudio - Thanks! Did you know one of my groomsmen at my wedding reception was named Claudio? You did? He was from Ecuador.
