Happy Mum's Day

What a weekend it has been. sfGnome has aptly described Saturday, though I also fitted in a session with Tim during the morning. Tim had that knowing smile when I told him my new 10k time.

Today was a glorious sunny day just right for running the Domain. I had told my 4 kids I didn't want a MD present but asked would they do a 4k run with me instead. Their gran has had Breast Cancer and I thought it would be a nice tribute to her. So with great threats of death over my head, we all did it today and finished!!!

Despite their protests, all the kids came home happy with their times and a feeling of satisfaction. They had Maccas on the way home to celebrate!

After doing a similiar course at the April striders and then backing up from yesterday's Striders I was hopeful for close to 21 minutes. Micro TA and I had an amazing first 3 k's (equal to my 3k PB on a FLAT course) but then my legs died, so I told him to go off on his own and win the family race. My last k sucked but I was stunned to come in at 19.40 (on my watch). So one happy Mum.

Had a lovely lunch with my Mum and family and tonight sfGnome took me to see Tap Dogs. Gee's can these guys move. The variety of ideas and changes to props just kept coming and we sat there spellbound for an hour and a half. A great way to end a very exhausting 2 days.

Now I'm off to bed to get a goodnight's sleep. This week my boss is away so I'm in charge and jump from 23 hours to 60 (plus my training). Mind you I'm excited that Tim has reintroduced a swim into this week's progamme.
