As rest!

Legs noticably tired now .. will do 30-45 mins recovery run tomorrow morning as I have a nice long drive (probably with a couple of stops!)

Feeling a tad smug - what time would the 10m have been on a flat course and under race conditions??

My "4mths to a 4hr marathon" book that has a 4.45 schedule says long runs as 12.25-12.55 pace so within that nicely! Although I am aiming for about 12mm if I can as that will make a sub5 mara (11.23mm pace) easier.

But to be honest I was aiming today to finish the distance and had allowed up to 2 1/2hrs so had 13mins spare too!!!

Will do about the same distance next friday whilst hubby is asleep and before we go "back home for Christmas!"

Will spend the rest of tonight with feet up (doing my tapistry that I WILL finish for grandma's christmas pressie - not long now, help!) and then a nice long bath and sleep!

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!?!
