I woke up late this morning and it was way too hot to run outside so I headed to the gym later on. Right when I hit 5 miles, I got called to the child center. My 7 year old had fallen off the monkey bars and her arm was hurting her. Funny, they told me they thought she was fine but her arm (right above the wrist) looked a little crooked. I took her to the Doc and sure enough, broken through both bones. So, I'll have to make up the extra 2 miles over the next 5 days. AP 9:22. Nice and easy and I felt fabulous. I was a little nervous to run today because I could feel my shin again but it didn't bother me at all:)

Hope your daughter is ok. Kinda got question the capabilities of the child care center though...

Thanks Jeff. She seems to be okay. Kids are so tough. I called the child center to tell them it was broken and they were a little shocked. Seems to me that if a kid is freaking out, you should maybe take it a little serious. Oh well.

Yes, sorry about your daughter. Not fun. Hope she heals up quickly!

Are you serious??

Hope she is feeling okay now. Did they have to cast it?

You were right, it was way too hot outside today. :)

Seems like everyone's kids are getting hurt.. guess it's that time of year. Kinda sounds like they just didn't want to be responsible.

Nice run :)
