ice ice baby
And no, I don’t mean the Jedward version. I’m a Vanilla Ice sort of girl, and yes, I know that shows my age.
So here I am. Rested and iced yesterday, felt okay this morning, didn’t call the doctor. (Yes, I know.)
Breakfast, packed lunches, school run, preschool run. Quick visit to my mum, who told me off for not organising accommodation for the marathon before now (sorry Mum, I know, just because you work in the industry is no reason to leave it till the last minute, etc, etc…).
Picked up littlest marathonchick from preschool, gave him lunch, and spent the afternoon resting with icepacks on all sore bits. Hrmm. I’m not quite sure why my ankle took two days to decide it was sore, but I’m planning a gentle 3.75 tomorrow which I’m going to take super-slowly.
Talking of slowly, my lovely friend L pointed something out to me last night. I’m constantly telling everyone to remember that I am mega slow and that there’s lots more walk than jog on my runs. But I covered 10.51 miles on Saturday, and that’s a long way for a chocoholic couch potato. So yay me.
Yay you, indeed.
Am fantasizing about the idea of a trip to London to cheer you on… if I could make it that far, I’m sure I could convince our mutual friend from NL to join me. Fun to think about!
I am actually squeaking with excitement here, in a room on my own, in the manner of a mad person! Ooh, that would be the BEST thing ever!
GO you!!! chocolaholic coachpotatoes~!!! cheering you on
Yay the chocoholics!
well i now have vanilla ice stuck in my head as soon as i read the title. i saw once in a hotel two ice machines next to each other. each one said ice and someone had written in big permanent marker baby after it hahaha
Hahaha! It’s been in my head for the last 24 hours.
Hello, so glad swelling has gone down… However you have started something that’s both terrible and lovely now…. I have one voice in my head singing Ice Ice Baby and another singing Hammer time (you can’t touch this)… Where did that come from! Go steady tomorrow xx
Yet more proof that we are as one – for some reason I have had Hammer Time in my head too! No running today, one more day off for the lazy person.
