Life in the old bird???

Well today I have ... slept, eaten, drank, slept eaten finished my tapisty cushion, drank wine and done some wrapping.

Had a bath at 3 and got out of my PJ's and started to feel better. Washed my hair at 7 feeling much better (and that was before the wine!)

I WON'T go to work tomorrow as I feel tired still and run down and well I don't want to, I want to get over this lurgy properly so I can see the family feeling healthy, enjoy Christmas and start FLM training in earnest feeling refreshed!

I didn't go to club tonight and felt bad about that seeing as they were having a Christmas drink after but that's life sometimes. I would still like to do a long run this week but sensible head says make it a middle length depending on health. I think I will be OK but we will see.

Whilst wrapping I realised I was 2 small presents short. I have all our pressies but Oliver wanted to give people a present which meant a quick re-shuffle and now I am short. Tomorrow I will pop to tesco and hope to find some little manly presents for the grandads!

The tapistry that I started whilst pregnant looks good - I'm really pleased with it! Yes it looks hand made rather than shop bought (not quiet square!) but that shows it was me that put the time in and makes it special. I've enjoyed doing it too! I have an embrodery to finish (again a good 7-8 yrs old!) which I will give to mum and then I may get one of those teddy bear sets to make! Obviously I should be using my evenings for pilates, toning etc and when i get into the swing of marathon training I will! No really I will!

But now I'm tired again! I should change the bed sheets from where I had a nose bleed last night but tiredness has hit fairly quickly so that can be done tomorrow once hubby gets up (he's on nights!)

Yawn .... stretch ... night folks!

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

An Update

Just for bear!! he-he I was very tempted just to say that but I shant!! If, like bear, you wondered where I am these days ... well mainly on Fetch and RealBuzz as I can get to both of those places during work. Unlike the old days, when I was at college and the old work place, I can't chat all day and I don't tend to go online much at home. Anyway that promised update. Good News: I won a 32" LCD TV!! I'm running 6 times a week! I'm using not wearing my HRM. I'm averaging 20m+ a week now!! Bad News: Despite lots of running I'm still err lardy because I'm comfort eating constantly. My phone is by my side 24/7 and I am expecting a call any time, to be honest I am amazed grandma is still with us, so yes I'm expecting the call, dreading the call and stuffing my face. Good job I am running lots then really! I'm worried it will become a habit though so I am trying to adjust the eating, I'm trying to bring in lots of fruit and eat that, or low fat ...
