ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

That about explains how I feel!!

Yesterday I had a good session and was hoping that if i exhausted myself I would get a great nights sleep and wake up refreshed! Err Nope!!

Anyway this is what happened yesterday.

I got home a bit later than normal and almost got back in the car to collect Gnome from school but decided not to as I thought I could use the run to school and walk back as a warm up and then get straight on the tready when we got home. So that's what I did.

The run to school took 5 mins and then we walked back home and I told Gnome to change have a drink and finish his lunch then watch TV/relax whilst I was on the tready then it would be homework time.

Off I went. Speedwork pyramid session which today I did at 9Km pace with jogged recoveries at 6.5km. And I did it! It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be so I was really pleased. As I had told Gnome I would be 30 mins and as I had done my warm up on the school run I decided to do 5mins walk at 5% incline, then a 5 mins jog at 7.5km and finally a 5 mins cool down.

It was then time for homework, the an early tea as Gnome and I were going swimming! Gnome can't actually swim properly yet but is confident enough to mess about un-assited so I managed to get some swimming in (junior training pool!) some pool running and some stretching which wa nice.

I was tired last night, I am still a tad drained but hey ho!

Hey well done Pix. If you are finding the speed session easy Perhaps it time to click it up to 10 Kph?

Oh and Giovanni is looking for you. He said something about besmirching his honour on Leons Blog. He says he can visit anyone with ice cubes.

oh I've had an anti bac cream in the past
still get them!
The last 3 have been 4-5 weeks apart
1 - sat at desk
2 - sat watching TV about to get on tready (you know the tready I'm not allowed to mention to Benz!)
3 - out on that run!

Also had them whilst eating tea and whilst asleep so no pattern or common cause!
Spans suggested a stress link pre-FLM
dunno
just run with tissues I suppose!

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 ...
