7:10 kids awake and fed breakfast, teeth brushed and dressed ready to launch.  Just have to comb Emmie’s hair.  Good sleep last night for them and even me.  Running today, 5k, and hoping this starts a new running story… like, a REAL running story.  

Espresso and soon another before coming Emma’s hair.  7:11, surplus of time which isn’t common on my mornings.  Must be ‘cause Henry isn’t here.  The little 20 month old is consuming and demanding, sassy and challenging.  And I love it.  But, the little barbarian’s absence assists ce matin.

Running Conde Lane again I think.  Just 2.5k out and back.  Simple.  Easy start to being the runner I need to be – healthy and alive forever for my kids.

7:14, okay go get brush and bring it downstairs, comb while Emma plays.  Make things easy on my princess, and me, and all of us so we leave on time.

I feel the dad role this morning, closely and consumingly.  This is my story… everything, even wine and tech, running especially, realize from my parenting story..

More awake than I have been in recent mornings….. more espresso, let’s keep this Beat complete, loud Now.
