I was going to attempt to run before our All about Babies class that started at 9 am, but the Cinco de Mayo menos tres dias party at work resulted in me falling asleep very early on Friday, then waking up very early, then napping until baby class time.
All about Babies taught me 3 things.
1. Babies do not think and communicate with other babies in Bruce Willis’ voice unless both parents are prominent Scientologists
2. A baby is no better off if it is raised by 3 men, even if those 3 men are Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson and Tom Selleck. Oddly enough, a little lady DOES benefit from being raised by 3 men.
3. When the class you are in has two class clowns (neither of them was me. I bring a notebook and write down my smart ass comments for my own amusement and out of respect for others), pray that the unfunny one isn’t sitting directly behind you.
During the class, elsewhere in the same hospital, our good friends Chris and Mary welcomed their son Conrad Michael Higgins into this Godforsaken world. Congratulations and keep that son of yours away from my potential princess.
I ran around 4pm so that I would be prepared if we were able to visit young Higgins. This meant getting up from a near nap. Ended up screwing up the timing on the watch but figure that I ran about 8 minutes on the front end. It was ¾ miles. Walked for a ½ mile than ran a 1/4 mile and about 3 minutes and then walked another ½ mile.
This was a little disappointing because after the next 2 weeks I will be expected to run for 20 minutes straight and I really need to start working toward that. The next 2 weeks will be run/walk 35 minutes. By the end of next week I will need to be able to run 15 minutes uninterrupted and the end of the week after that be able to run 20.
Lord help me.
