Today I got to sleep in. That’s right--no long run for this girl. Today I woke up at a leisurely 6:30! Then I had to scramble to wake up the kids, get them fed and ready for church, and motivate my husband to get out of bed and ready for his first race. Geez, it’s harder to get him out of the house than it is to get my two kids out of the house.
Months ago I registered my husband for the Race with Grace 5k. Then I told him about it. Despite the warning, he didn’t train a bit. I don’t think he has run for over a month. When I would remind him that training would be appropriate, he always responded, “It’s only 3 miles. I’ll be fine.” This is EXACTLY the attitude he had when we were moving to the U.S., and I told him that studying the language might be appropriate. His response then, “English is easy; it will take me a couple of months. I’ll be fine.” I am happy to say that I was able to rein in my “I told you so” both times when he got a wake up call about his procrastination.
We were part of Team Brenda with Medina High School. Brenda is the mother of my colleague Sherri, and she has been fighting breast cancer. Our team wore shirts with her name on the back to remind us of why we are participating. Brenda was there to cheer us on.
