Insomniac 5K

What I've done since becoming a father........

It's been a long 3 weeks. I feel like I'm just starting to recover from the emotional turmoil associated with having your wife almost die in front of you, while simultaneously almost instantly having another human being depend on you so much it's life and death. Seriously, if we forgot to take care of her.... no more Delilah. This isn't some turtles navigating to the sea shit. It's real and I get the impression it's going to be this way for a while.
In any case, it's been a confusing and new 3 weeks. Luckily, I have the kind of job that lends itself to shiftwork, so when the personal life gets real, I can make more time for it. It's been nice having family in town too. Just the basic things around the house take so much longer when you've got a baby strapped to your neck.

Delilah is a pretty awesome baby, as far as babies go. She is really good at shitting, eating, and sleeping. I figure shes got this gig dialed in.

I rant eh Dirty Dash last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Lots of mud and lots of ridiculousness. I was cleaning mud out of my ears for 5 days, and my vision is almost back to normal after getting mud under my contacts. Here are some pictures from the dash.

funny that one of these:















Actually turns into one of these:



















Turns out these little poopers are kind of a challenge.

My days now go something like this.
 1:00am: clean poop off everything near my daughters butt.
 1:15am: Try to hand off child to wife to feed, attempt to fall asleep but get ringed into getting juice for mom sauce
 1:20am: Fall back asleep
 1:21am: wake back up to sound of child belching in bed next to me
 1:45am: fall back asleep finally

 3:00am: Wake up to sound of child crying, smacking lips, and exploding her diaper.
 3:01am: Clean up poop, take off diaper and only to find old faithful erupting all over the changing table.
 3:05am: Pass the babe to the boob.
 3:07am: Wake up to the sound of belching and farting
 3:08am: get more juice for mom sauce
 3:30am: Change diaper again because the gastro-colic reflex is a bitch
 3:35am: fall back asleep

 repeat at 2 hour intervals AMRAP in 24 hours.





 So I've been running a bit more. It's easier to do than 2 hour gym sessions, and I just don't have the sleep to rest after the weights. The last week has seen an increase in miles with a slow 5K time trial that sorta bummed me out.
