I know it's not trail running-related, but I just can't help myself from posting the big news. I became on dad on Friday! Sophie Jane was born on September 1st, 7 lbs and 4 oz. Mom and baby are doing great.
The whole birth process was incredible. Christi was amazing. I will say this much - after "pacing" Christi through the labor, I think every mom should get an honorary membership into the ultrarunning club. It has all the same elements - courage, pacing, hydration, the equivalent of 2,000 sit ups, and you feel like you've been hit by a train by the time you're done. Bravo to all Moms!
My sleep deprivation skills should be in top form by the Tahoe 72 in four weeks. Let the fun begin! I will see y'all soon.

Scott and Christy,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I was thinking about your family while running Where's Waldo 100k, as I know that was the due date. How fantastic to have a healthy new addition. You both should be very proud. Congratulations again.

ReplyDeleteIt'll be a great challenge to run while caring your family. I remember I made my 1/2 marathon PR after nearly stop running for the first month of my second baby :-) Hope you get the same fresh muscle in Tahoe 72.
Best to Sophie, new mommy, and daddy.
