Cold in the Heat

Run: 3 miles
Time: wayyyyy slow
Temp: 74 (we had a big storm last night and it cooled things down)
Quality: 2/10

I currently have a cold and feel all achy and stuffy, etc., but I still pulled myself out of bed after repeated abuse of the snooze button on the alarm. The perils of getting up late usually revolve around waking up the kids. I was just about to make my escape out the door when I heard a faint, "Daaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddyyyyyyyy." DOH!! It was Reese and, of course, he wanted daddy to take him on the run, which is normally not a big deal, but I felt like crap.





When he goes on runs with me he likes to be a steam engine. Notice the "headlight" that he gets to wear. And he also likes me to tell him homespun stories about "Reese the Cabforward" and his adventures on the Island of Sodor. Yep, creating and then telling a story to a heavy 5 year old as you climb a hill is NOT easy. Anyway, it was fun and I love having him out there...when I feel better.

I'm predicting that I will not run again until Thursday.

Now get back to work.
