Guess who called me at 2:30 in the morning? Go ahead and guess.....it was fastrunningmommy Sarah. She said she would have to take a raincheck on our Saturday morning running appointment because....she was having the baby, and could I come get the kids! So those cute little darlings of hers, so excited to be helpful and pleasant, loaded into my truck at 3:00 a.m. and came to my house and slept like angels until 7:00 a.m. I couldn't sleep thinking of Sarah wondering how things were going for her. Sasha showed up at about 7:30 with some soy milk for breakfast and news that William had been born at 4:30 a.m. weighing 8 pounds 8 ounces!!!! Sarah fared well and everyone at home was fine. And here was Sasha and Jeff standing in my doorway in their running gear 2 1/2 hours after the baby was born! Jeff just said "Well, yesterday Sasha told me to come at 7:00 a.m. So I came at 7:00!" Well At least I had the kids right? Sasha said he'd post pictures later. At breakfast I asked Benjamin what his fastest mile was, he said something like 6:15, and announed that he could do that in his sleep. My son just looked at him and said "yeah, well I ran a 9 minute mile with my Mom." Benjamin just rolled his eyes.
Unlike Sasha who kept his schedule without missing a beat, I won't be running until the afternoon.....I hope to get in another 3 miles on the treadmill. |
