The morning we returned from the beach, E woke up with a stomach virus. After a week of this unwanted guest in our home making its rounds with all of us (except Brooks), the boys were well enough to have a sleep over at my parents' house. Brooks signed up to run a 10k in Greenville and at the last minute we decided to gamble on Priceline.com and scored a room at the Poinsett Hotel.
We woke up on race day with the starting line right outside our window (and a aerobics instructor shouting directions to warming up runners.)
Brooks finished his race well and I was able to cheer him on and then go lie down in the room (stupid stomach virus). It was a quiet evening and restful morning for which I was very grateful.
