Offset - muffin neutral?
Well, the theatre was really, really good - very different, but excellent with lots of really well known people too. I suspect it'll go to London after its run at Chichester, they often do. We were really good too - didn't take any sweeties or anything, and we reckoned there probably wasn't time for wine and sandwiches in the interval (what we normally do when we go with my parents), so we just had a very small tub of ice cream each instead. Lovely!
I managed my run yesterday as well - 7.5 miles. I wore one of my new pairs of running shoes (Asics Gel Kayano), and I think the heel must be slightly lower than my last pair as my legs were really tired the whole way round, really having to work hard - and my calves were really sore afterwards! Good though. I need to get a few runs under my belt that are longer than a 10k before my race in a couple of weeks' time, that way I'll know that I can do it, even if I start to get tired because I started to quickly. I always start too quickly when I race!
I'm going to have to work hard today to avoid going overboard - my brother's home to see my parents, with his three boys, and I know my ma has baked homemade muffins with icing and sugar animals on top (OK, OK - for the boys really, but I know my Dad, hubby and brother will all look crestfallen if they're not allowed one so there will be enough for all). She's also got a leg of pork (home made pig too) out for dinner tonight and will have done a 'fatted calf' supper for my bro's return.
He doesn't come down all that often even though he and his wife live only 4 hours away. There's been some bad blood lately - his wife fell out with my ma last year (for no reason that I can fathom - something to do with the colour of a carpet), and has said now that she never wants to speak to my mother again. Charming .... she then also tried to throw my brother out of the house, but they seem to be working on that one. Frankly we all think she's as mad as a box of frogs, but I'm doing my best to stay out of it!
The upshot of all this is that I can see I'm going to be biting my tongue quite a lot today (really don't want to upset my bro as he still loves her), so I may have to shove muffins and pork dinner in to fill it instead!!!
I'm not running today after yesterday's run, but I think I'd better hop on the treadmill for a walk programme while I watch Desperate Housewives, rather than sitting on the sofa ...
