Life

Σσ went to Paris for a family ladies weekend jolly leaving me having to fork out for a childminder in order to go for a long run – the most expensive run I’ve ever been on. The kids were pretty good for me in the main though, even given they couldn’t hide the fact they’d have far rather it was me that had fucked off for the weekend.

We went to Heather’s birthday party at an adventure playground. The sun shone and apart from Ηη’s inevitable pant-shitting it was a smash hit.

Arsenal lost to Man City in a cup final on Sunday evening. Ηη witnessed it unfold on telly and we spent the rest of the evening helping him navigate his very strong emotions about it. It was probably good for him to get used to the idea that his team (that he has hitherto believed to be invincible) isn’t always going to win. Quite hard to witness though.

Running

I ran the long run solo in order to get out while the childminder was round. As a result it was faster than it probably should have been, but I think it was fractionally easier going than the previous one. Plantar fascia is just about holding up. I’m at the point where time is measured solely in terms of long runs and tempo sessions till the marathon. I’m even less fun to be around than usual.
