Well, I wasn't able to go running with my friends this morning even though I had a babysitter lined up - we were up until after 1:00am with my baby who was throwing up over and over. It is the saddest thing to see a baby dry heaving!! Luckily she never had a fever and she seemed alright today except for a weaker appetite and a little more tired. She's a little angel.

Anyway ... I didn't want to subject our babysitter to a possibly contagious child. So, that meant that my long run was going to be on the treadmill because after my husband got home, we were going to get our family picture taken. That's actually a story in itself: get 3 sweet girls dressed and beautiful, show up 5 minutes late for our appt, find out we went to the wrong mall and there is no portrait studio at that JCPenney, go to Sam's Club while we're out, drop off the food at home and grab the camera and tripod, decide to try to take our own family picture since everyone is dressed and beautiful, take a few pictures that turn out mediocre, try a few more and make a scene with a screaming 7 year old, give up and go for a walk, head home and call it a failed picture day. Oh well. We'll try again soon. :o(

P.S. Six miles on the treadmill is not easy. That last mile, I was really fighting the urge to stop.

Dedication! Getting in a long run after a rough night is very admirable. Sorry about the picture-taking fiasco. I have had several of those myself. Pain!

Oooh! I'm afraid we've all had those photo days! I get the cringes when I even think of my bad JC Penney day! All I can say is that the $6.95 package with a zillion pictures WAS NOT WORTH IT!!! OK, I'm over that now....bad, bad memory....I think you are awesome for getting 6 miles in after a night and a day like you had! It probably helped relieve some of the stress.
