Friday, I went to run, but it was freezing and raining. I couldn't go another day without running, so I just did one mile. The, normally busy, Friday track was EMPTY. Obviously, I am the only one dedicated enough to run in the freezing rain, or the only one without a treadmill or gym membership....
Saturday morning at about 5 AM, Em woke up gagging and threw up what seemed to be mucus. I figured she was okay and went ahead and gave her the morning bottle.....she threw that up too. So we waited and she tried to sleep some more, but she threw up a third time, so Chris called the doctor.
We went to the pediatrician's office where there were tons of people waiting and only one doctor working since it was Saturday. Thankfully, Em was in a good mood and entertained the entire waiting room by laughing at everyone. She was in a great spirits to be throwing up so much. She got her finger pricked for the first time and didn't even cry! That girl is one tough cookie!
The doctor said that a throat infection mixed with sinus drainage was causing her to throw up and he gave her a shot of antibiotic. The rest of the night we had to slowly introduce Pedialyte and breastmilk. She finally has her appetite back today.
So it goes without saying, we did not visit Bethany and Nathan on Saturday, and I did not run on Sunday since we were tending to a sick baby.
So only 2 miles all week...that is just sad.
Yesterday, I did do the virtual 5k. I didn't make my goal of a sub 40 time. Maybe it was because I hadn't run that far in a week or because the track was super crowded and I was dodging kids (didn't these people know I was in a race?!) , or maybe I should have picked it up more my last mile, but I was 34 seconds over my goal time. I still felt good about the run, though. I think I'll be able to do sub 40 during my next race.
