Extra Session!

Well got home from work and the school run and I was tired.

I put the "rest or run" vote to the FFF gang and got told "marathon runners go to bed tired and wake up tired" and reminded of my GFA target! So I looked out of the window and watched the rain run down the pain and put on my kit.

Plan was to take Gnome to BB then if the rain had stopped to run or if the rain persisted to drive to BB and use the local gym (I still have passes from when I was injured!) and then pick him up and drive home.

It rained and rained so off to the gym I went. Tready in use ... damn (why did I go to the gym and not drive home?). So I decided to make the most of being in a gym and cross train. So 15 mins on the stepper and then I used all the weights machines (small gym so this means upper body only and 3 machines! + leg extensions!), with 3 sets on each then some abs work then some free weights then a cool down on the bike.

Me finks me upper body may complain tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I am off to Derby City General Hosp for my DEXA scan so working 8-11 then hossie then school run. I think that I may have a spare 30 mins if the hossie is on time and I don't get lost going home! If so I will fit in one of my runs if not I will run when Gnome is doing his home work!

Tomorrow is also supposed to be sports day - given the rain today I am not so sure!!

Friday is report day!!

One potential bit of good news. The school sent home a questionaire today as they are looking to introduce a breakfast club and after schools club in January. This would be great for me as I can't get child care and would mean I would work sensible hours and as I get fitter I could even consider doing doubles with lunchtimes sessions and evening sessions! See I will lose weight and get that GFA!!

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 ...
