Where to start and what to say!
The holiday started of with a scare - Gnome managed to swallow a charm at school :-( still it allowed me to leave work early!
The rest of the weekend was quiet with just a long run on the Sunday which was awful! (Early start again, had 500ml Locozade (and even 2 gels on route) and made no difference. Had to stop after 1m for a long stretch as calves very tight and also my ankle was sore but that must have been muscles as it went after about 2-3m so next plan is to run after I have been up for a couple of hours to allow the legs to warm up and wake up!)
Monday came with a bump - alarm went off at 5AM and we got all packed and feed and watered and mum took us to Reading Station with plenty of time to get the 7:12AM to Waterloo. We sit down and make oursleves (and 5 bags) comfy only to be told at 7:20 that the train was cancelled! Get the 7:21 .... err no that's cancelled too! Get the 7:42! Check in required at Waterloo (at the EuroDisney check in) by 9:09 (30 mins before the train leaves) and we got to Waterloo at 9:05!
Hubby was a tad stressed by now!
But we got there and settled down for the 3hrs on EuroStar to Disney (the train terminates at the park!) As we got closer and closer the kids got more excited and started looking out for the "Disney Tower" which was finally spotted and from that time on there was no calming them down! When you get there Disney take your bags to the hotel and you can hit the park which is just a 3-4mins walk from the train!
From that time until Friday at 6PM (when we got back to the train) we "did Disney!". All 3 of us were in bed to watch the Disney Channel film at 8 and the lights went off when the film ended at 9:15-9:30 and still we needed the alarm to get up for breakfast! Total exhaustion for all of us!
Admittedly part of this was due to hubby and I being ill but I would guess we walked at least 6m each day on average (I was going to take my pedometer to see but forgot!) This exhaustion meant no running :-( but we did manage 2 swims. Well Gnome splashed about and used the slide and I floundered about a bit!
So anyway I'm back home for a break!
Oh and I was welcomed home with a new training plan from Spans - it includes hills!
Gulp!

Little mantra to recite when doing your hills
"Fame doesn't await at the top of the hill, Fortune doesn't wait at the top of the hill, the only thing that waits at the top of the hill is the top of the hill"
