Running and Obstacle #1

Well, I've "ran" into my first and probably not the last of running obstacles in my journey towards the marathon.

I've had a pretty ill child who picked up some nasty thing called viral gastro-enteritis, which caused massive amounts of vomiting and thus dehydration. So, since Thanksgiving, we've been at the hospital. I have not ran since last Tuesday and have missed a bunch of beautiful warm November weather. But oh well, when it comes to your children and their health, it is quite easy to put running on the back burner.

I have had several nights with practically no sleep. I'm exhausted. Hopefully, I be able to catch up next week on running and sleep!

Hey Diane! Trying the comment thing again. I was sorry to hear that you had a sick kid and that over Thanksgiving! I hope he is doing better!

I ran for a full 11 minutes the other day. But it was warm outside so it probably doesn't count. It wasn't even a mile. I would fail in gym class for sure. :-) Marla wants me to run a 5K with her. Suzy was there and she laughed. So did I.

Though, I must say that now I am running outside, I am enjoying it much more than when I was downstairs on my treadmill. I am glad that it broke.

Andrea,
Way to go on running 11 full minutes! You go girl! And yes it counts, it always counts -- warm weather or cold! I say go for the 5K with Marla!
Adam is better, PTL!
