Well back after half term family hols to Scotland skiing. Dread to think how much weight have put on as I don't calorie count on holiday but was skiing 3 full days so heres hoping.
Took nearly 9 hours to get home, just nipped for 3 mile run in the pouring rain (not ran since sunday) and now waiting for asda to deliver my wine.

Money shuffle takes us under 4.7K.


Few kicks this week, my PA has been successful in applying for a better job, I have been supportive but inside gutted!
Next hit was clutch on old car, car is going august time and will be worth very little, big debate whether worth doing or not but have fixed. DD1 started driving lessons this week and so will hopefully swap it for something suitable when she's driving.
Worst news is Daves hurt his knee and been told not to run. He's really done about it but equally its like our quality time has been snatched away and I can see my own motivation take a huge hit. Work is a bit pants, having to work clinically most days and so everything slides and that's where it gets stressful, plus working extra hours to cover gaps.

Hugs Helen. Get well soon Dave.

Sending huge hugs HDK. It's a booger when everything hits at once. Hope Dave's knee heals with rest and that work being stressful doesn't set off any problems for you.

Sending love, Tilly x x

The WM role one of the hardest. I hope Dave recovers so you have your quality time back x

So Dave having knee xray and mri, hm this weekend so looks like I'm running alone. He is biking though to keep his fitness levels up. I managed 39 miles in total last week, having done a hm every week now for 4 weeks. This week I've been snowed on, sleeted on and then hit by hail stones on 3 different runs, the worst was sleet which was that torrential it hurt my head!

Redid gym membership, 204 each for year which I think is incredibly good and is because they keep matching my last year's. Think it equates to less than £4 a week!

Treated self to a new sports bra on Saturday, was factory shop so rrp £8 but was 4 and I had a 3 voucher so cost me a quid! It's a very nice one too. Had a similar asda moment last week,had 2 expiring asda guarantee vouchers, went in bought cereal plus loads of cheap bakery goods (was late) and spent under a quid!

Lovely mothers day, got some quality book reading time after frequently cups of tea made for me.

Oh no, lots of not so brilliant news to come home from holiday to. Hopemits nothing too serious re: the knee. You are running fab distances though Helen, I admire your motivation.

Good luck for the hm, hope the weather is kinder to you than it has been recently.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to hm Sunday, Dave has decided he's rested and wants to run. ... he's had a little run today and is determined.. So a slow one planned for Sunday.. I hoping for a good time but still rather have a buddy than a pb.

Nice afternoon tea with friends yesterday. Interviewing all day today at a corporate event and the DNA rate was shocking. Short of interviewers so offer to do double panel but still only interviewed 4 all day.

Run round block with dd3 when got home from work. 1.5 mile then added another 2 mile when dropped her home so could stretch my legs. Aiming for 35+ miles a week so.everything helps.
