And so to bed ...

Club run tonight - first run since sunday and first club run for over 2 weeks.
Very few people were there tonight so my normal group of 5-6 people was 2! This meant I had to run faster to keep up, but I was amazed to find that until the last 10 minutes I wasn't struggling that hard. The hills were so much easier today and I kept up and we didn't stop at all! 4.7m in about 50 mins (I forgot to start my watch!!) so I am really pleased!

Supposed to be doing an XC race on sunday but thought I may do 10m on the road because A I need the miles and B I'm scared of getting injured! Now I'm even more keen to do the 10m on the road to see what time I do .. my 10m PB was set at the Great South Run last year and is 2hrs 14, at todays pace I should smash that. Mind you that will probably fate me to crash it!

Tomorrow I'm off work (and Friday and boy am I glade!) and I am going Christmas shopping. I'm off to Nottingham as I've heard it is the best place to go but I've never been there so I could get lost!!

Friday I will be going back home for the weekend to see my folks ... which means a nice easy weekend with no cooking or house work!!

A good club run tonight EP. I wish I had more folk at my pace at the club - its a serious ath;etics club, rather than a running club, so all a bit serious. Ah well, Hopefully my trainng partner will be there tonight.
Hope you have a good 10 on Sunday - but as its a training run don't push it to beat your best time.

Have a great day in Nottingham - once you are parked its all within walking distance - the trek from John Lewis (Victoria Centre) to M&S and Broadmarsh passes loads of good shops.

thanks beanz ... I've been told to park in the Boradmarsh as it's easier although Vitoria has more shops! So lots of walking and carrying bags - so cross training today!!
Re Sunday, I won't push too hard as I know it is a training run but it will be tempting! The club run was great last night but I was feelling tired in the last 10 mins so know I can't keep that pace up for another hour! It will be interesting though!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
