Operation: Do Not Get Sick

Posted on June 23, 2009 by Alison

Ava started complaining of a sore throat last night and was feeling pretty warm before bed. She seems to be doing better today but still says her throat hurts. Now while I’m certainly sympathetic toward my ill child, I DO NOT WANT TO GET SICK.

So I started my morning out with these:

emergencc date_cookies

The first to help fight off childhood diseases, the second (I had two) to fight off pre-run hunger. Those are left over date cookies from yesterday’s picnic, rolled into balls in the interest of time.

Zak swam again this morning, I hit the road when he got home for 5.2something miles in 42 minutes. I was HOT this morning running in a sunny 75 degrees. I guess it’s officially summer.

Chocolate breakfast cookie goodness with a side of email.

Post run, messy hair glory, waiting for Ava to come to the window.

(The only reason I run early is so I don’t frighten the neighbors with my hair.)

Unfortunately this is the only way I’ll be talking to Ava until she’s feeling better.

    Fingers crossed that you don’t get sick. It’s no fun. I hope Ava bounces back quickly.

    That pink lemonade drink sounds good, actually. You know all the tricks. 🙂 I’ve been sucking on Vitamin C for days now but I think I started that too late.

    Hope Ava starts to feel better soon! I love the hair. You should see mine when I’m done. It would definitely rival yours. Lol.
