I'm a lucky woman who loves her life. I have an amazing husband who makes me laugh and challenges me all at the same time I have two very young, bright, funny, entertaining children and a job I love as a physcial therapist. In my free time, I'm a runner (slow but sure), a hiker, a writer (at least by avocation), and a human jungle gym for my little ones. This is my third 1/2 marathon, along with a couple fulls, but my first foray back into distance running since the two back-to-back little ones. (My running partner's favorite fact about me is that my kids are 363 days apart.) It's also my first attempt at any type of blogging, and I'm basically computer illiterate, so hang in there with me.

Sympathy puking?

November 29th, 2007 by writeontherun

When the phone rings at 5:20 on a day Kim and I are supposed to run at 5:30, it’s never good news. “Beth, I’m throwing up. Gotta go.” Poor thing! I, of course, am not motivated to run alone at that time, and snuggled straight back into bed. I did poke my husband. “Hey, Kirk, Kim’s sick. Wanna go to the gym?” “Nnyah…” I took that as a no. Several hours later, I hopped on the dreaded treadmill for the last time before Vegas, baby. And had a good run! What a difference the ability to eat makes! A nice, 3 mile tempo run (hey, slow for some of you is tempo for me!) and I was like a leaping gazelle on the treadmill. A leaping gazelle full of chicken and asparagus and long grain and wild rice. Can we have that for our last meal before the next run?
