OK 48 days left of training, let’s get running!
Or let’s sit at home and mind the new puppy.
I was planning on spending my child-free day doing a nice long run, after all I only have 48 days to get my legs ready to run for 5 hours.
Instead, I realised that my school morning routine is now even busier as I try to squeeze in doggy patting, feeding, peeing, pooing and cleaning up of said puddles and parcels, into the normal routine of making five lunches (plus one Crunch’N’Sip), ensuring everyone is dressed, teeth brushed, hair combed, skin sunscreened, bags packed and kisses given.
As soon as all the children were dropped at bus stops, school and pre-school. I came home and cleaned up the new little puddles and smelly parcels, and decided I’d best give in and mop the entire floor (and balcony, poor little puppy can’t get up or down the balcony stairs to the grass, I’ll be glad when this problem is solved).
Then, as I patted my newest baby, I wondered if it would be better to have two puppies. If we had two puppies, they could play together and I could go for a run without feeling guilty…
Exercise: mopping up the little puddles and smelly parcels
Eating: I opened a box of fundraising chocolates and swapped the Toblerones for chocolates I don’t like as much. Then I made a donation to the Rugby 7’s fundraising effort, and ate the Toblerones.
