i'm very worried about emily (again!). she's been wetting her pants all summer. today we're onto the 3rd wee accident and it's about 1pm. i'm thinking that i'm going to have to take her to the docs as i really think there's something wrong. she doesn't seem to know when she's wet herself! it's not just a little it's a lot. it used to be her knickers were damp but now it's right through her trousers and you can really tell as her bum area is soaked! she's almost 6 and is no where near being trained at night either, infact i've had to buy 8+ year old nappies so that they're more absorbant as she wets through her nappy, through on to her mattress protector, even leak through that onto the bed! hubby's putting a lot of pressure on me saying a reward chart will help but as he's out at work all day it's left up to me, as well as everything else, and i've just about had my limit of everything right now.
feeling quite down about it. feeling like walking out! had a cry to myself today whilst hanging the washing out on the line so that the kids didn't see. things are seriously getting to me. i can't cut the grass as last time i did i felt like i got dust in my eyes and they felt like i had lumps in them. hubby cut the back grass on sunday, not done a good job and he's left the grass in the mower! his excuse.... it started to rain! my house is a mess and i'm sick of tidying up. the bath is leaking and the study ceiling and wall is look really bad. the conservatory wood by the door is rotten and has broken off. tiles in the kitchen are broken. hubby's wrecked the cupboards near the cooker as he melted them by leaving a frying pan on a couple of years ago now. he slammed down a fish slice and chipped some of the work surface too. the kids have drawn on their walls in the playroom. the whole house needs painting. i need to get the skirting boards and doors cleaned as they're looking bad, then they'll need glossing! it's all too much.

oh, let myself down last night. had a bottle of wine. had a very stressful day. missed an appointment for emily's hair, cried loads, car's running on fumes, will fill tomorrow (still got 90 miles left in tank according to display but when it drops under 85 it starts pinging at you, the petrol sign comes on and i hate it).
i'm at the gym today. lets hope my wine indulgance doesn't affect my performance.

Well I beat myself up at the gym.
1 full hours running 5.25 miles 880 cals burnt. Then I did another 1.5 miles. 200 cals. The treadmill stops after 60 mins and goes into cool down for you. Not what I wanted really.
Bike to warm up and cool down 20 min total 100 cals.
I was running on empty by the end of my running. I know this as I start feeling sick and want to throw up. So. Treating myself to a small cappuccino (the milk is very good for recovery, caffine good for brain which is now dead!). I also had a maxi muscle maxi milk high in protein bout 200 cals.
Got Zumba tonight. Hope my legs recover.

trying to work out how many miles my trainers have done. will they last for the GNR?
19 miles from week 1 (counting zumba as a 5 mile run)
21 1/4 miles from week 2
22 miles from week 3
22 1/2 miles from week 4
total so far...... 95 miles
(85+ prob 10 from previous zumbas.)
trainers last for around 350 miles max before their support is gone for good.
so whilst i'm away i'll probably run about 12 miles then when i come back i'll probably do around 27, then 6 then it's the GNR so 13.1
12+27+6+13.1 = 58.1 miles + 95 already done 153.1 miles. they should last and last another couple of months afterwards too. so by xmas i'll need new trainers 'again!'
they'll last but

i'm on my 7th pair in about 4 years. they never look worn out but you can tell, i always start getting hip problems when the support has gone.

Off out to run soon. Not sure how successful I'm going to be. I've had 2 very disturbed nights sleep tx to dude. Very tired which usually means a poor run! If I don't do well I'll just chalk it up to tiredness. Want to do a 6 straight off followed by another 3!
Hi nikki. Been catching up on your diary. So sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. You sound busy. Hope things get easier for you. Ive had a year away from work and am in a much better head space than last year. Hope the weekend has been good for you and very very impressed with all your exercise. Much love.

hi leeds
it's nice to hear from you. i'm glad your heads feeling in a better place. it's not great when you feel low. not many training days left to the GNR. not as ready as i normally am, so i'm not happy with myself. it looks like i'll be walking some of it. did 7 today but normally i'll be running for 2 hours non stop and cover 12 miles by now. i'll do it but it will take me longer. i get to 6 miles now and want to puke up! no great! have introduced carbs, hopefully good carbs. not strictly CD but close enough for now. hols next week then 10 days to GNR after that. only 1 proper sunday run left beforehand. next sunday, on holiday i'll be doing an hour on a treadmill in the gyn, if i can escape ok.
