It was C's 5th birthday on Friday so he's the proud new owner of a trampoline so he keeps coming around and asking me to go on it with him. Anyway, its good exercise so it could be worse. J scored again for the academy, he's starting to show more of what he's capable of which is pleasing.
The footy team lost again on Saturday 5-4, although its disappointing to lose there were positives. The passing is starting to take shape and we did come back from 5-2 and were the better team. Its going to be hard for the kids to accept that they aren't going to be winning every week particularly after last seasons league and cup double. I keep telling them that this season is a rebuilding season and that everyone will need to take that on board in terms of expectations.
On Saturday afternoon I managed to slot in an 1:20 min bike ride on my racer. I didn't go far only up through Scarisbrick, across to Halsall and then back down Guildford Road. I've also spent the weekend trying to continually stretch out the back of my legs to try and alleviate the pain.
Went for a run in Hesketh Park not long after the Tour of Britain cycle race had passsed through. It would have been nice to go down and watch it pass but I was on my way back from J's footy. Anyway, I did 30 mins at a regular pace before doing 10 reps of sprints running the length of the rose garden. This was followed by a circuit of the lake at a faster than usual pace. Then it was a jog to the hill part where I did some reps up the stone steps and reps up the hill. I finished it off with a gentle jog around the park taking me up to 54 mins. In all not a bad workout.
I'm feeling a somewhat irritable and low this morning, yet again D is covering EO and even S is doing it for her team. I just so frustrated with being left out all the time. Nobody seems to have mastered the art of communication and I am fed up with always having to make the first move. How can it be I never get a chance when these people who do are so useless.
