And on the 7th day ....

Ok so this is not quiet so earth shatteringly dramatic as the creation of the universe!

Anyway I've decided, I've made up my mind, it will be!
What you say? Oh sorry!

As I have said before I want to lose weight, I'm a diet junky, have no will power and I am currently commiting food suicide! So this is my plan.

'Tis the season to be Jolly!

That means from now until after Christmas I shall relax and enjoy without being a huge pig! No need to worry about left overs as we are away for Christmas so once I am home I have no excuses!

After that I will:

* Leave purse at home!
* Pre-pare lunch after tea ready for the next day!
* Drink more!
* Write down what I eat!
* Clean my teeth more frequently e.g. after eating anything!

Hope that helps! You may also notice that this "running" blog may also become more foody (just like Derah!) but seeing as it is all about being healthy and fueling a healthy body to run and train and get to FLM that should be OK!

If anyone cares to comment or support I'd be grateful!

I will do this! I have a sub 5hr FLM to get and need all the help I can get, apparently if I can lose 2st that will make up to 15mins difference to my time without altering my training at all! I need every bit of help I can get!

It's good for me anyway!

good plan, pix,
I too an pinning some of my hopes on a weightloss helping my running time - but 2 stone is a tad optimistic?

So lets have a good Christmas - enjoyed but not bloated (keep taking the water) and then on to the new year and new us.

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

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th
