Rainy day all day, so decided against taking Bruno out on my run as he goes crazy mad in the wet, dashing about and being generally clumsy. So just me and the boys (on their bikes) up to histon and back. 5.3km in 33mins, which isn't brill, but it's not shabby. Anything to take my mind off the fact that my sister's been in the labour ward since Friday morning.
They've now broken her waters (2 weeks early due to too much fluid and risk of cord prolapse) as a last ditch attept to get her started after pessaries, creams, prods & pokes (nice) and drips. I'm so nervous for her and as there's nothing I can do, I've gone back to the old emotional eating habit (groan). Hopefully some better news in a few hours time, otherwise, it's C-section for her :o(.
I've been in touch with an ex-bootcamper to pair up with for my training for this half marathon I stupidly signed up for. (It's only because of waiting nervously for news, and there being no nibbles in the house, I started to 'surf' and came across this run) The reality's kicked in that I'll be running solid for around 2 1/2 hours #shock!!!
Today was supposed to be my fasting day, but that's gone to pot,
I've had a banana and rice milk smoothie, a pear, 3 handfulls of cashews, a tomato & pickle roll, 3 Haribo, LOADS of chewing gum and 2 handfulls of dried apricots. Hmmmm.......thought I'd finished with the comfort food thing months ago. Still, no point getting disappointed, It's not everyday my sister has a baby!!
Dinner tonight is spaghetti & "meat"balls in tomato sauce. I've not got a proper recipe for the balls, #winging it, so it may end up a mashed adzuki bean bolognaise if it's a disaster!
So, back to entertaining 2 boys on a wet day, ...and, ...just waiting.
