July 2: Steak & Potatoes...

...do not make for a good pre-run meal! It has been so sticky and hot that I have been running these past few nights between 9-10pm when it is a little cooler, which means that I head out after dinner. I was actually quite thankful for the side cramps and the beef-burps I had during the run because, unlike Jennie, my dinner was still in my stomach!

The poor girl has seen nothing but porcelain and toilet water these past few months. If anybody has any advice as to what the correct thing for the husband to do during these episodes please let me know. It is a pretty helpless feeling - you really want to help, but the best thing to do is just to leave her alone. The one thing that I can do, which is a preventative gag reflex measure, is to use the toilet brush to clean up after each time I use it for the "big" jobs...I am sure that she appreciates that the only streak in the house is her running to the bathroom!

So far this week I have run ~ 22 miles and easy running is actually starting to feel, well, easy again!

A+

Cleaning up the toilet after you are done is a great start! Maybe you could hold her hair back? Get her some candied ginger? Saltine Crackers (or the Parisian substitute.)
