Rule number 1 of parenthood, plan for worst case scenario. Today was just one of those days that are sent to test us. Number 2 had a belly ache all day and just wouldnt feed or settle properly. The rabbit also decided that 2 year olds really dont need any sleep and decided to remain awake for the entire day.
I did my lolly today and I feel like a tool for it. I have to remember to roll with the punches on days like today. The rabbit is getting a little defiant at present and I cant help but think she is just copying mum and dad.
Everything just seemed to be 2 hours behind schedule. So in keeping with this theme I headed out the door (after struggling to finally put the rabbit down) at 3.20. I wanted to run for 2 hours today but I knew I didnt have quite enough time, so decided on 1.45.
I literally hobbled in parts of this run with my achilles. I am resigned to putting up with it until after Sydney. I headed south via Stanmore and Livingstone Rds, around Marrickville Golf Course and down the Cooks River cycle way to King Georges Rd. I stayed on the grass as much as I could on this section to give the achilles a rest from the hard surfaces.
Once on King Georges Rd I headed back east to Milton St and wound my wayback to Enmore via Ashbury, Hurlestone Park Dulwich Hill Lewisham and Petersham. Not quite sure of the distance but I would think around 23kms IN 1.44.
About Me
- silverfox
- I love my family to bits, they mean absolutely everything to me. I am also a total nut for my running, it gives me an incredible amount of joy and rewards in some form everyday. Whether that is in the form of a bouquet or kick up the rump, it never fails to remind how lucky I am to have embraced it.I believe in honesty, humility,hard work and compassion.I despise injustice and believe that good things come to good people.I was brought up on a staple of team sports and firmly believe the values learnt from that environment have served me well in life. However one of the reasons I got into running was to do something for myself.No excuses apart from the limitations you place on yourself.I am competitive but not consumed by it.I run for me.I have never been driven to compete just to beat someone else-ever.I am fortunate to have made many friends through running.I hope some of those were borne of shared commeraderie and good spirit whilst competing. Finally running reminds me daily that you get from life what you put in.

Sounds like you are having a full-on week at the moment so even getting out and running is an achievement. Take care of that achilles - it would be awful to have done the training and not make it to Sydney.
