3.3 miles~~In Sunny CA~~I'm a GRANDMA

Ok.  I have not been running lately, but there is a very good reason for that.  A very good reason.  On the last day of the Book Fair, my daughter called and said she was having her son.  That was her due date and it was her first child.  What are the chances of that happening?  I had it in my mind that she wouldn't have him until after the Book Fair.  Boy was I wrong.  After a long hard decision, I decided to leave my assistant in charge and try to get there for his birth.  While I didn't make it (she only had a 6 hour labor and only spent 20 minutes in the hospital before she delivered) I was there about 7 hours later.  It was fabulous.  I got to stay with my daughter in the hospital both nights and help with my grandson, Grayson Charles.  I stayed with my daughter since her husband is serving in the Marines and is deployed.  I am extremely lucky, this is something that most grandmas don't have a chance to do. Oh, and I am Nonnie, my husband Chris is Poppi.  :-)

After waking up many times a night and cleaning, walking dogs, and feeding and taking care of Mommy and son, I finally got a run in.  The neighborhood my daughter lives in is pretty hilly, so this run was a tough one.  I was able to get in about 3 to 3.5 miles.  Once again, my watch deleted my run!  The sun felt great.  The roads were buys, but the flowers and green grass were uplifting.  What a great day.
