Life

Drove home from the lakes on Monday and miraculously the kids both slept before they had a chance to puke. We all felt fairly green though to the extent that I had to take another day off to stay close to the god phone.

Then Ηη got sent home from school having thrown up on Thursday. Maybe we all had a virus rather than food poisoning. Or maybe Ηη did some overly vigorous spinning in gymnastics. We’ll never know.

Daddy Friday was fairly low-key in the Finsbury park sunshine then we got a train up to Bev in the evening.

Jim and Ange came down from Scotland on the Saturday and it felt almost normal for the first time in ages.

Ηη and Αα played mostly nicely with Rory and Cam. Rory lost it a few times but it was more comic than anything else. It’s hard to remember that he’s only three because he’s genuinely about the size of an average seven year old.

Then me Σσ and Em ran the Bev 10k on Sunday. Everyone came to support and I helped pace Σσ round (a delicate balance of trying to get her a time she’d be proud of without making her hate me or puke). We came in in about 52 minutes and I think she was happy (and didn’t puke and doesn’t seem to hate me so I’m chalking it up as a success). I was slightly disappointed not to be giving it a dig myself, but on the way round I resolved to enter more races and definitely enter a marathon next year – if/when I don’t get a London place I think I’ll enter Manchester. I’ll call it Breaking 3. Maybe Nike will make a film about it.
