I am considering changing the name of this blog to Snot Rocket Backsplash just because it’s such a great phrase. If you are considering starting one, you can have that on me.
I experienced said backsplash today on the final km of my long slow run as I ran uphill into a headwind. It was a lovely run, not quite as slow as it should have been but what can a girl do? The run marked the end of Week 1 of my half marathon training programme, which is 16 weeks long but includes 2 rest weeks. On my return I had a snack of homemade hummus, made by my daughter
And very yummy it was too.
I have two very busy weeks coming up and am determined to stick to my training plan. I may have to shuffle runs around but will get them done. One way I have tried to ensure I can keep everything going and make time to run is by preparing family dinners ahead of time. Three hours of cooking yesterday resulted in 7 frozen meals plus a few accompaniments that should get us through to the weekend without resorting to take aways.
Wow. Very organised!
I can go without takeaways quite easily…but that does mean embracing the occasional ‘pasta & baked beans’ meal instead. Good for you.

Thank you. It’s not so much me as my 3 children too.

Very organised indeed, though if I did that, I would return one day from a long run to find my two beautiful children staring mournfully at a frozen block on the table, which they would occasionally poke with forks…
Might pass on the domain name offer too, though I will be ver disappointed if someone out there doesn’t take the challenge. Who amongst us has not experienced the delight? 😉

Ha, yes my kids would be the same. At least this way I can’t be accused of neglecting them. My MiL has already expressed her concern…

If I ever start up a punk band, I’m DEFINITELY calling it Snot Rocket Backsplash.
