I can totally relate to being woke up by beeping alarms all night! It has been a tough three years, but worth every second. She is my little princess. I have learned so much about what is really important in life because of her. She is actually why I started running. I gained 60 pounds her first year of life--between the 5 months in the hospital with her or at the Ronald McDonald House, then getting absolute no sleep when she got to come home. Then I decided that she deserved a healthy and happy mom, so I registered for the Disney Princess Half. Now I am hooked! I am so not a morning person, so I run late at night after she goes to bed. My husband watches TV and answers her alarms while I am gone. Please keep me posted on your little one. Us special needs mommas need to stick together!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372440939112155022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-87405148185634180812012-04-13T21:01:42.578-04:002012-04-13T21:01:42.578-04:00I did not realize you are the parent of a child wi...I did not realize you are the parent of a child with medical needs. I have an almost 3 year old that is listed for an intestinal transplant and is fed by an IV for 18 hours a day. I know how hard it is to get workouts in when you are juggling medical needs. I get up at 4:45 AM several morning a week to get my long runs in and a few speedy 5Ks before meeting with my trainer. It isn't easy getting up as our little guy is up several times a night with beeping machines and needing diaper changes but I know I have more energy and am better able to cope with challenges when I work out<br />Keep up the great work.Donna Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392790888450840210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-22892764751174329452012-04-13T20:35:33.251-04:002012-04-13T20:35:33.251-04:00Crazy how much we have in common!

I'm in San Diego, and am also doing the half marathon in June. I feel like we're on kind of parallel lives! :)sugarmagnolia70http://sugarmagnolia70.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
