You know how when you go to the doctor they ask that you show up at least 15 minutes early for your appointment? Yeah so um I showed up to Clark's 6 month appointment yesterday not 15 minutes early but 24 hours in advance. What a ding dong. I mean seriously a day early???
So today we will be going back to the doctor to get his check up and then I it is off to get his shots. I imagine he will be a cranky little guy this evening. I certainly hope not.
This past Sunday Clark and I ran a 5k together. Well he sat back and watched the scene go by as I ran it. Let me tell you, it was no easy feat. The thing started at 2pm and it was hot as hell out. Both times I hit the water station (out and back course) I took two small sips of water and then poured the rest on my head. I managed to keep an 11 minute pace. Which for pushing an additonal 30lbs is impressive, I think (that might be low balling, I mean the baby is 22lbs, then there is the ten pound diaper bag, water bottle, and the stroller itself...).
I also managed to "chick" a few guys. Let me tell you, as a runner I have always been one to get bothered when I have been passed by anyone pushing a baby stroller. I mean really someone pushing their kid is running faster than me??? So I can only imagine what a man must feel when it is a chick pushing a stroller passing him. I had a fellow stroller pusher finish 100 meters in front of me, he had kept his eye on me the entire time, when I had to walk through the water stops he would walk, when I had to stop and run after a cup that was tossed from the stroller he walked, and when I would pick up pace he would too. I guess he didn't want a woman to make him look bad. :)
Anyway, I hope that I can pick up the speed on my next 5k. Hopefully it won't be blazing hot out for it...
Have you ever "chicked" anyone? How did it make you feel?
