Today I RAN!!!!

Today I had to wait in for the gas man (no heating or hot water on tap for 3-4 days is tiresome!) and as I sat there I realised that I could do my run this morning rather than tonight! So I started to get all excited and sat there waiting for the gas man to finish fidgetting like a todler deperate for a wee!

Then he was finished and I dashed upstairs throw on my sports bra and was out of the door! No HRM, GPS or water ... I was so excited!! I walked to the field (3-4mins) not wanting to tempt fate and then I ran! OK so it was only for 36 mins at 5:1 run:walk but it was fantastic! I ran and laughed like a kiddie!

I'm also being very sensible and looking forward to post FLM. I know I have maintained a level of fitness with the bike/gym but I want to say goodbye to the lardy, overweight, slow pixie and find that speedie pixie that I am sure is lurking somewhere in the blubber!

I got more money for my birthday and hubby has said I should add it to my graduation money and get a tready. This would mean I could run more frequently come rain or shine and also be "in the house" so I've been looking about and the Pro-Form 360P takes my fancy!

Who knows maybe one day I will get the GFA time!

Yay again! Without being too sentimental, it seems that you will get more out of this FLM with the injury than without it...

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

"It depends what you want to do with your life"

Quote by Coach Spans yesterday when I bounced up to her asking permission to enter FLM07! Yesterday ... I felt the electricity from the event and the runners, and I wanted to be there in the heart of the action. I saw the fast ladies with total awe and wanted to be them, so slender and toned and fit and fast. I saw the elites who had "Had accidences" and thought how sad to be so fixed on a goal to do that and carry on regardless. Then I could see (and feel) the pain and suffering from the slower runners, leaning against rails stretching and trying to take drugs. I saw huge smiles and tears and pride. Then part of me said BOLLOX I am entering next year regardless whilst part of me said that I still wanted to be with the faster people whilst recognising that they looked alone and that they were running alone That is a huge question ... I want the happiness of achieving my goal whilst wanting to do FLM or another marafun again ASAP yet I know that marafun training at my current ...
