What a day! Sunday my baby started to get sick. I knew I wouldn't be able to take him to the day care at the gym, so I thought I'd get up early and go run with Kelli. HA! Nope. My little guy decided he needed to bring his restless, sick, coughing sleep into my bed AND that he couldn't sleep unless he was laying ON me! Not next to me...on me. I felt like I got 2 hours of sleep. I wasn't getting up early.
Only bad thing is that I'd gotten a slow leak in my car tire on Sunday and I had to take it into the shop for my free repair. I pumped up the tire and went straight there! Well, the wonderfully kind man at the tire shop told me how horrible my tires were and that he didn't feel right sending me home on them. So, my FREE repair turned into over $600 for new tires....nice. The maddening part is that I had just purchased them less than 2 years ago and had only put less than 30,000 miles on a set of 60000 mile rated tires. The shop did give me credit toward my new purchase, but I figured something had to be wrong with the alignment or who knows what to wear out the tires that quickly!
I stopped quickly at Run Gr8 to get my new trail runners...YAY!! And then finally made it to the gym. I had 45 min on the bike before I had to race home for the kindergartner.
Picked him up and went to the car shop to get an alignment done. I had a coupon, so it would only be $40-$60. Totally worth not running through another set of tires. Well, should've guessed...when they went to do the alignment they couldn't get the toe bolt off the back tire. It was nice a rusted on. So, they had to order a toe bolt kit from the dealership and have it put on. My cheap little trip, again, ended up being a lot more: $200. My poor sick baby finally got me home though. The shop owner offered to drive me home so I didn't have to wait there for the car. So, I paid him for the work and they took me home and said they'd bring my car to me when it was done. How wonderful!
It was nice to finally get some motrin in my poor baby and let him sleep and be home. Kelli had said she'd be at the gym 6-7 if I wanted to run with her. I was skeptical that Craig would make it home in time (to watch baby), but he did! Only problem is that about 2 minutes before he came home I smelt poo...and coudn't see baby! Went looking and the poor sick child that was just potty trained last week didn't quite make it to the bathroom, but then tried to make it anyway. I had a bathroom and baby covered in poo to clean up. Nice. It just gets better and better, doesn't it?!?
So, I finally got my daughter and I to the gym by 6:15 (she has swim team 6-7) and Kelli was at exactly a mile on the TM, so we went to the track. I think she was watching time and I was counting laps (not very well, but trying :) ) and she said we were running around an 8:30, which for end of the day is good for me. After 3.5 I had to take a break, running after eating always make my stomach upset. Kelli grabbed her daughter from gymnastics and then we finished up. I had 5 laps left after Kelli left (she ended on a half and I needed the whole), so I ran with a girl from my neighborhood conditioning for Lacross. I thought I'd get a break on pace, but Allison kept it pretty good! A total of 6 miles on that darn track.
Grabbed Lauren, came home and somehow got dinner and FHE done by 9:30 to put the kids to bed. What a day...what a day. |
