1st week of school done, 1st kid home sick, 5 weeks to the victoria marathon!!

so the 1st 4 days of school are done. and so far so good. sasha's fitting in and seems to be happy to be back- new thing, she waves at her school bus driver and friends on the bus when it pulls up to pick her up, she sits near the front as well...cool! -

much like past years though, she's home sick with a bad cold today. hopefully just a one day thing, but if she sticks to what's worked in the past, she'll be realatively calm to day, sleep lots, and then by tomorrow morning be fed up with being sick and will be anxious to get back to school and back at it. even today, she was up at 6, and took a few minutes before she realized that, nah, she's still sick.

big problem though, is that also means i'm stuck at home. so no running for me today, and with 34 days to the victoria marathon, i can't have too many of these stuck at home days. have considered dragging the bike inside for a ride on the rollers, but that would be too painful, and just feels wrong..so will take today as a rest day, and head out to the kinsmen tomorrow for maybe a long-ish 15k, some weights and maybe a swim?.......and i guess i should be looking at the big picture, death race solo is less then a year away...so yeah, i can still rest a bit
