Bounces About With HUGE Grin on Face!

I'm allowed to run!! Yippeeee! Fizzio said I can run 15mins!!! And I got to cancel my next appointment!

I am sooooooo happy! Never thought I would be so pleased at being told I can run for 15mins!!

Will be on the tready tonight!!

Later that night ....

Well I watched Gordon Ramsey and got comfy on the sofa and thought "dare I?"
Part of me really wanted to go out whilst another part of me said what if? I was thrilled to be given permission to run yet worried that it would be sore and I would make things worse for Reading.

An argument with inner-self continued briefly whilst I picked up some kit.

10:10PM and I was out on the tready. Suddenly it was like seeing an old friend who you haven't seen for months! This is the 10th week on 2006 and I have not run for about 6 of them!

So any way I was very sensible!

I did a short warm up then 5mins jog (7.9kmph), 1 walk, 5 jog (7.9kmph), 1 walk, 5 faster jog (8.4kmph) with the last 30secs at 9kmph followed by 1 min slllllooooow jog (6.5kmph) then walk to make it a full 25mins.

No twinges!!
Yippeee!

The best bit was I was working at 7.9 for my jogs thinking not too bad this, yet at the fizzio I was doing 5.9 and working really hard! I was thinking Help I thought I had maintained my fitness and worrying that if 5mins at that pace was hard how would I cope with a half!

I thought the fizzio was being nice saying that's quiet fast and I've just realised his tready being old was MPH not KmPH!! So I was 10min miling really! No wonder it was hard work!

Anyway I will see what the morning brings .. fingers crossed everyone!

Oh and the fizzio also said he suspected he would see me later in the year seeing as I do stupid things! Personally I thought that was rude, I mean just because I did 5 runs in 48 hrs at camp after 3wks off and just because I said I was doing a half in 32 days time when I hadn't run for 2-3 wks and just because I said I was doing the Trailwalker ... sounds perfectly sensible to me! What do you think???!!!!

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

An Update

Just for bear!! he-he I was very tempted just to say that but I shant!! If, like bear, you wondered where I am these days ... well mainly on Fetch and RealBuzz as I can get to both of those places during work. Unlike the old days, when I was at college and the old work place, I can't chat all day and I don't tend to go online much at home. Anyway that promised update. Good News: I won a 32" LCD TV!! I'm running 6 times a week! I'm using not wearing my HRM. I'm averaging 20m+ a week now!! Bad News: Despite lots of running I'm still err lardy because I'm comfort eating constantly. My phone is by my side 24/7 and I am expecting a call any time, to be honest I am amazed grandma is still with us, so yes I'm expecting the call, dreading the call and stuffing my face. Good job I am running lots then really! I'm worried it will become a habit though so I am trying to adjust the eating, I'm trying to bring in lots of fruit and eat that, or low fat ...
