Well...

...about that plan for 15 miles today... not so much... I woke up this morning with a splitting headache and a child who had been up every few hours during the night coughing. Poor little thing (and me too!). I wish Sam was old enough for cough syrup, but I think we have another few years to go until we can use it. Ah well. She still has antibiotics in her system from operation attempt-to-get-rid-of-the-fluid-in-her ears, but I doubt this is anything but a cold/cough that just needs to work its way through her system. It seems to be going around her room at daycare. She perked up once we got moving this morning, so I'm sure she will be fine. A cough is always rough at night when you are lying down.

In any event, while I realize that not every run can be ideal, I hate to set myself up for a bad long run, so I decided once again to mess with the plan, and ended up just getting in a slow 5 miles down to the river and back today. The 15 will have to be tomorrow. Third try's a charm, right? Well, it has to get done, so tomorrow it will, no matter how the night goes. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that tonight we can all get a more restful night's sleep! :-)
