4:00-ish A.M.


My wife woke me up somewhere around midnight having contractions, so there was no more sleep for me after that. I drank coffee and read books all night while she timed contractions. At about four o'clock I ran for the first time in two weeks. After running the last time at the end of May my hip and leg were bothering me for a long time. I wanted to rest up until that went away.

Easing back into things, I only went a mile. I could maybe have gone farther than that but didn't want to push it too much.

Nineteen hours later my perfect daughter was born. I'm writing this a week and a half later, getting caught up on old stuff. I hope I can get back into running soon, but my sleep schedule is a bit out of whack these days.
