Grumpy

Yes today I was grumpy

you see Sunday is LSR day, but I have not managed one during January yet. Last week I announced to them indoors that for the next two Sundays I would be doing a long run and everything else would have to be planned around that! (Yeah right) LSR are my favourite they are what I get my sense of achievement from, I love the tired hungry feeling after wards, to me it’s what it is all about.

However mid-week I remembered Madam had a Sportshall competition today, I knew there would be no way I would fit one in before leaving and set about planning one after wards. Usually Madam is finished by 1:30 leaving plenty of time afterwards but today of course she chose to do a later event not finishing till 2:30 . (Grumpy scale 8/10)

So on the nicest weather day of the year so far, I am in a sportshall sat on the floor for three hours, being kicked and kneed in the back my children who seemed not to see me. (Grumpy scale 10/10)

Madam was pleased with her performance. (Grumpy scale 8/10)

Fortunately the competition ran to time and we were out quick. The sun was still out. (Grumpy Scale 6/10)

Hubby was contacted and we met at designated time and place. Child was exchanged. I set off to run the Exe Estuary Way. It was a beautiful afternoon still lots of families out making the most of the trail, cyclists, walkers, bird watchers, train spotters, scooterers. Great to see so many people using this great facility. LSR accomplished (9.5 miles) with not a bad pace. (Grumpy scale 1/10)

Called hubby at mile 4 asked him to put dinner in to be done at 6 pm and also to tape the football. (Dinner prepped by me at 8 am!) Turkey, potatoes and veg ready at 5:15 unfortunately I was in charge of the yorkshires they were ready at 6! (Grumpy Scale 7/10)

Dinner eaten. Cider drunk. Football watched. (Grumpy scale 1/10)

Tomorrow am hoping to be more

but I can’t promise!
