I managed an hour of running on the treadmill before the daycare workers begged for mercy from my inconsolable, exhausted boy who was wide awake from 3-5 am. It was one of those days it's a victory to get a run in at all. I ran easy. I'm tired from last night, and sore from yesterday. Is it naptime, yet?

I remember those days.. My wife and I were working rotating shifts and had a very cholic prone boy who we could only get to sleep at 2-4 in the morning by turning on the vacuum cleaner or turning on the treadmill.. (It was the only way to get any sort of run in:) Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.. Just make sure mom gets some rest also.

Good job Em. Your dedication will pay off. I hope Myles learns to sleep through the night soon!
