Manic week with emotions running high. J hands down is the most impressive person I know and am lucky to have her. She has orchestrated the entire move. Emigrating etc yet again and packing the house was a Herculean effort. And dealing with the full suite of emotions of all our 4 boys was testing to say the least coupled with getting the house ready to rent, Lucas doing his final SATs exams not to mention preparing for Jack’s 13th birthday. It was a helluva week.
Despite all that I managed to run to keep my sanity:
- Sunday 13th May - jogged 10k still jet lagged
- Monday Hilly Long solo 33k in 4.26s
- Tuesday Jack’s birthday and in the city all day for meetings but jogged early morning 9k
- Wednesday jogged 10k
- Thursday early for a final 15k with Messi + afternoon 21k jog on the grass in the Langley grounds. PM out for beers with the running crew in Beckenham
- Friday early jog 10k - last day of school for boys and moved into Aunty Mias. PM out with the entire family at the Chandos in Honor Oak. Starting to creek
- Saturday final Park Run with all my crew: Rory, Foxy, the Selmans and Messi. Out again with my SE London crew in Peckham after coffee with Messi. London in all its glory today with stunning weather (has been all week) with the Royal wedding and the FA Cup final. I could not care less about either.
- Sunday 12k running off my third straight hangover. At Mum and Dads for their open garden in the afternoon. (135k for the week but all garbage ks)
Very sad to leave. Europe is the best place in the world to live. I will miss the walking, cycling and surfing trips - will miss it dearly. Messi particularly has become a really good friend and will miss him a lot.
Tomorrow we say our final farewells to my parents before heading to Thailand for 2 weeks with our 4 months worth of gear until the shipment container arrives in September. This unfortunately means no bikes for me.
