Recovery day and stupid ladders - (Monday 03/03)


I had tired legs after yesterday race, but I feel good in myself for a cracking PB, so just a short recovery run to set me up for the rest of the week and an attempt to break my 10k PB at Trafford next Sunday.


At last the first room (Daisy's) is totally plastered, it looks good and I cant wait to get the decorators in to do their bit on Thursday. We are now seriously running out of rooms to store furniture in though and fortunately the children have been well behaved as they are now cramped into the one remaining 'usable' bedroom.

What kind of fool would lean a ladder against an empty wardrobe in the middle of a bedroom and then climb the ladder to finish stripping a ceiling - as I got half way up the ladder the wardrobe started to lean and then topple, followed by the ladder and then followed by me - no damage done other than to the wardrobe which is now 'deceased'.
Finally ordered the new all singing all dancing flat screen TV for the lounge, the children wanted 50" but settled for 42" otherwise you woudl walk into the room and it woudl look stupid - must update my project plan !
Fame at last - following the article in Running Fitness, someone approached me before yesterday race after recognising me from the pictures, he wouldn't accept my autogtraph though !
Amber has been suffering with sore shins since the National Cross Country Champiosnhips, but seems on the road to recovery after testing them out this afternoon - wonder if she will come anywhere near me in next Sundays race or will she still have her head in the clouds, we will see.
