Puking Girl, Round 5

Wednesday's repeats were supposed to be followed by 4 easy recovery miles around a couple of our downtown lakes. The operative word in that sentence is SUPPOSED, as in "planned, but not accomplished". And why was this not accomplished? Because, for the fifth time since 2010 began, I was home with a puking daughter. Five episodes of nausea, vomiting, and general GI upset since the beginning of the year. It is only mid-March -- this does not bode well. The odd thing is that we are all stupidly healthy people. We rarely get sick, rarely get colds. No one is diabetic, has heart disease, hypertension or breathing issues. Baby hasn't had to use any asthma medications in 3 years. So why all the illness all of a sudden? Mind-boggling, it is. Needless to say, we are keeping the big throw-up bowl very, very handy.

Anyway, after smallest of all didn't vomit for 12 hours, I took the girls to the Y and ran 4.5 easy miles on the treadmill. It was necessary. I had been cooped up in the house for too long, yet again. And Mama doesn't coop well. So, it was the Y or infanticide.

Total: 4.5 miles
Total for week: 19 miles
