My wife had to leave early for work this morning.  That meant I had to get Emily ready for school by myself.  She stayed home Wednesday because she was sick.  Truthfully I should have kept her home today, but I hate for her to miss too much school.  She's doing so good lately.  Her reading is awesome.  She's actually understanding basic addition and subtraction.  Anyway, I probably used a gallon of detangler on her hair this morning.  I couldn't find her boots.  I barely got her ready before the bus arrived.  Luckily it was a few minutes late.  I'm glad she went because had I kept her home, I probably wouldn't have run.  I had a breathing treatment before I woke her up.  That helped during the run.  I felt a little winded at first, but after about half a mile my lungs were opened up and felt fine.  It's my legs that are sore.  They feel like they're in twang mode.  I kept it nice and easy and I was running very consistent half mile splits for the first three miles.  Then I slowed down even more.  There were a lot of old folks out walking the paths this morning.  And I saw the young guy with the tall dog.  He must've ate his spinach this morning.

My daughter, Abby forgot her lunch this morning.  She called me and asked me to bring it to her.  As soon as I got Emily on her bus, she goes to a different school, I ran down to Abby's school with her lunch.  I probably looked funny carrying a teddy bear lunch box.  The school is less than half a mile away so I tried not to sweat.  I failed.  Then I started my normal loop, but my left leg is hurting.  I think I strained something.  So I called it quits after 1 loop.
