Wibble Yeah Not!

That's right I am not allowed to wibble! No stress or worry or anything! Just nice calm positive thoughts because after all this is just a training run!

Today at work it has been very quiet despite half the team not being in! Which has meant I've been bored and also thinking about Sunday! That be the training run I have on Sunday!

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and encouragement!

Tonight hubby had to be in work for 6 which has meant a long evening with Gnome. He's now in bed and I'm alone. I've just rechecked all my blog friends and Fraggle's tugged at my heart.

I'm now sat down with my sketchpad trying to copy a photo.

The photo was taken a good 20+ year ago. My parents had recently got married and it was Christmas. I had been a bridesmaid and was very proud of my parasol. Grandad had drunk a couple of Harvey Bristol Creams and had fallen asleep under my parasol! It's a wonderful happy picture with happy memories and I can see him now as if it was only yesterday. I miss him.

So I'm trying to draw this picture and I think my aim will be to do this again and again until it's good enough to give to Grandma!

I'm no artist but I am more comfortable trying to copy a picture than starting of with plain inanimate objects! I started a picture of one of our old dogs the other day too! I just hope that I can do something half decent for Grandma as I think she would appreciate it more than a shop bought gift and I will enjoy it too!

I've been reading various web sites and books and I am trying my best - I'm starting off by drawing the negative images, the bits outside the picture as this makes you think more and watch what you are drawing they are not shapes you know! Well that's the theory! It should pass a while and allow me to rest and wind down for my early night!

Tomorrow is a plodette, hairdressers, library, Sainsbury and possibly a Gnome swim and an early restless night!!

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 ...
