4 Miles Recovery on treadmill

Av Pace 8:55mm.
Saturday 6th October
Julie flew off to Inverness for Loch Ness Marathon today, which meant I had the kids. Discovering the bread had seen better days, I abandoned the sandwiches and made them a pizza for lunch which went down well.
For tea I made fresh Haddock fishcakes with the intention of serving them with beans. Couldn’t find beans, so opened an emergency tin of processed peas. Sydney found that if she took the skin off they tasted better, so she set about skinning them one by one. I left them to it and later asked if they had eaten the fishcakes. Darcy said “No Daddy, we’re making pyramids”. Then Sydney poked her head round the corner and said “Daddy, mine’s on the floor”. Great to be appreciated.
After tea & stories it was time to pull out the treadmill. I was amazed not to be interrupted by the small people and had a pretty reasonable run. Was aiming for around 10 min miles and managed a little under.
