This past weekend was life altering. I ran 6.1 miles and my wife had a 7lb 15oz child.
Let's start with me and the run. It was the first “long” run of the Hal Higdon Marathon Training-- a 6 miler. I had previously charted out a sinuous 6 mile course around my neighborhood, so I figured after a little hydration, that I’d give it a go. I set out, and I took it down one perfectly cushioned step at a time (thanks to Asics for the high arch support).
It was tiring, for sure, but I found that as I approached the final mile of my course, I was just in a groove. No pain, no cramping, breathing was fine.
That is not to say my weekend was without pain, cramping or heavy breathing. Which brings me to my amazing wife and the 50% increase in the size of our family.
I’ll keep you posted on how training goes (both my own and that of baby Edgar) and whether my body (and will power) stand up to the 26.2 over the coming weeks.
Thank you for reading as I know proud fathers can ramble. Welcome, Edgar Kelley.
