I had to go into work early today so I got up at 4 a.m. to get my run in. I saw three deer while out this morning. Run time 1:09

phew. 4am.

I probably couldn't have gotten out around 4:30. I was up then feeding my kid.

I was up again at 5:30 because said kid decided to have an "explosion".

i was reading a training blog the other day (not from this site) and the girl was complaining about having to get up at 7AM for a run. she should run with you sometime to understand true dedication. great job.

Matt - way to get out there early!

Jun - you are such a good daddy! I don't think my hubby ever got up to feed the kids!

kathie,

my wife is a full-time student at the U in the Nursing program. considering how busy she is she needs all the help she can get.

that being said, we have always taken turns getting up with the kids. just seems natural to me.
