I hope thats mud on the stairs....

It wasn't, it was poo! Oliver had had a little accident in the bathroom and carried it onto the stairs. Hes at that age when he wont let us help and occasionally slips up  (quite literally today!!). He does so well considering he was in nappies only a few years ago and I really never thought he would be out of them at the time.

I did however manage to get him to do his spellings tonight for his weekly test in the morning, he got them all correct too!! The bribery was a piece of his favourite - Chorizo! Hes a Chorizo Monster and Ive found him munching on a full ring of it before today!!!

Its a rest day today but I missed some strength work last week due to tiredness, so Im going to do a set tonight and every day this week. Its also a return of Bootcamp WOOHOO (once a month special) so I can go for it and have a really hard workout this week. I have plenty of time to recover before my race. Im off tomorrow as I mixed my dates up for a course I was on so Im at a loose end. If I can wangle it I might head to Cartmel and recce the last few miles of the race. I had a great coffee date with my good friend Gareth and we both definitely needed the catch up. It had been too long.

Im still feeling a bit down after the weekend, but I will pull myself out of it with a run tomorrow and weve just had news Joanne has an appointment with a CF specialist (not until December) but its a start. After Ive done the pots, tidied up, done the ironing, do a strength workout and put Oliver to bed Ive got a date with a hot bath and a copy of *Playboy* (not really I just wanted to check you were paying attention!!) its a new copy of Runners world magazine! I find it  just as stimulating ;)

Ive still got to finalise my race this week, there are a few details to go over yet:

• Come up with a race plan A.
• Come up with a race plan B.
• Check my kit (there is a kit list that is mandatory, I will put more about this next week).
• Commit the route to memory as best as I can.
• Check the registration details, car parking etc.
• Buy my nutrition for the race.
• Sort out Joanne and Oliver for when I away
