Random Rants and a Hug


<- Leon sent me a hug! Just what I needed! Today I have had many "if"s going through my head and "thank god"s and "it could have been so much worse..." The forumites went to the pub post race and I declined wanting to get home. Now if I had gone I wouldn't have been on the stretch on the M1 when that car was there. If I hadn't got my entry in on time .... the list goes on. I keep on finding new aches and you start to wonder if they are real. I woke up this morning and it was a case of "right, aches below waist are running above waist are car ... now what hurts?!" My calves are tight and my left heel does seem to be bruised but I don't think the PB caused any further damage! The car is still outside the house - everytime I open the front door it's there. All lopsided and looking sorry for itself. I keep looking over it and thinking "I am so lucky" The pictures of the car below don't really show what happened.

Ok so I'm the blue car ... green car moves out, I swerve and follow the red line. The crash barrier was on a verge. The car has mud all on the wheels where it smashed into the crash barrier and pushed that literally 4-5ft. The crash barrier is what caused the damage as I hit no other vehicle and then I stopped back end in the hard shoulder front end in the carriageway.


The final turn where I came to a stop was on 2 wheels, and you can see the rim of the wheels are bent right up and the tyres are flat.

The AA would only take the car off the M1 it was Green Flag (through e-sure) who took me home.

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 ...
