Fiona and I spent Saturday afternoon with Ellie and Jackson. We went for a leisurely jog down to Seward Park and played for a bit in the shade and then a leisurely jog/walk back to Ellie’s house. Here’s a couple of pictures of Fiona man handling Jackson and little man chilling beneath the trees.
Jackson is just a couple of weeks younger then Fi. And his mother Ellie is a superstar. While I’m struggling to run my old short loop without walking (the loop that I ran when I didn’t have enough time to get a *proper* run in but just had to go anyway) She is getting ready to compete in a 30 mile race….SATURDAY. I told her that she needed to wear a t-shirt that read “mother of a 6 month old”. She said people would get the idea when they saw her at the first nursing station nursing. Uh…nursing station? no, i mean water station…aid station…even rest stop….but pretty sure there are no “nursing” stations in the ultra course.
my how things change. send her all your good running ju ju….she’s a great inspiration and we’ll be thinking about her lots!
