Ok so it hardly sounds a lot and if I had put more effort into exercise rather than being a dutiful daughter and eating too much last week then there would be no talk of needing 3m! So this is what I have been up to lately ...
Tuesday I finished work at 4 and headed home. Car was filled, literally!, and Gnome and I set off. As I had finished early I was able to plan food at mum's rather than a maccy d which was good! Soon I realised that the journey would be slower than normal due to fog. Through Oxford I was almost navigating by the cats eyes in the road. It wasn't nice. Journey time just over 3hrs and 1 shattered Pixie.
Wednesday saw my 1st supermarket visit of the week oh and computer shop as Gnome broke dad's monitor! I mean found it broken!! hehe.
Thursday was a day at Nirvana! Nothing all day apart from chill and chat with mum oh and a 1m swim in my best ever time of 43mins!! >beams<
Friday, more shopping. Farm shop and Morrisons + 4.2m foggy walk run stagger (tired legs from swim!). Saturday, M&S and Macro. Sunday Waitrose. Yes mum was cooking for 40! Well ok 6!
Being dutiful daughter I hoovered every day (2 fluffy cats and a Gnome!) and emptied the dishwasher more times than I have my own at home! (5 times on the 25th!) So hardly the very relaxing break I expected especially as dad said "what's mum doing now?" every time she left the room and I was expected to investigate!
Grandma joined us on Christmas Eve ... it broke my heart seeing her this time.
Boxing Day we "moved" (think 2 full cars as hubby drove down Sunday) to the in-laws. More food and wine! I also joined mum-in-law on a walk both Tuesday and Wednesday so felt less lardy! Thursday it was home time via Fraggle's!
Presents for me ... Jamie Oliver cook book, kitchen knife set, full length mirror, jewellery box, chocolates and M&S vouchers. Nice one!
Hubby works for a firm who deal with biscuits and we now have 10 boxes/tins of biscuits! I hope to pass some on to v-rap this weekend!
Now this 3m ... well as I only did 1 run last week (had planned 3) my totals are low. I did 3.5m today and logged it into Fetch ... 397m for the year and therein lies the missing 3m!!! OK 397 is not bad given my bad year, and Fetch does include the TW 62m as that was a race so 397 is too high really! But add in all the walking for TW (at least 4 walks longer than marafun distance) it's too low for exercise!
Anyway now is the time to start pondering the year that was and the year to come ... :-D
