I did it anyway!

Poor Leah was up sick most of the night so I could barely keep my eyes open this morning. Doesn't it just break your heart when your little ones are sick? Cuddling with her in her bed (after a middle of the night bath and some "boo boo bear juice"- pedialyte**) to help her sleep may have derailed MY sleep but how can you say no? Especially after she snuggles up and whispers "mommy I love you and you're my best friend". (aaaand she took two pretty big falls over the past two days and hurt her legs and knees, so she was already a little upset about that) So glad she's feeling better this morning.

Anyway, when josh got up this morning he suggested that I go back to bed but I had already had a cup of coffee and some breakfast so I decided to do my long run anyway. On my way to the park I remember thinking "what...what?! Did I just turn down going back to bed for running 8 miles??" I did. And it was a rough run (forgot to turn on my watch for almost the first mile) but I did it! I am exhausted but I did it.

** she started calling Pedialyte "boo boo bear juice" when she was about a year old. She got sick and was saying that she had a boo boo in her tummy so we said, here is some juice to make it better and she asked "it's boo boo juice?" And then she saw the picture of the little bear on the package and she called it "boo boo bear juice". The name stuck.
