Feeling Sad and Lonely

Hubby is working nights this week and next.
Tonight I wrote the Christmas cards for my side of the family:
1 college friend
1 school friend
the ex child minder
my parents
my grandma
that's all it took - how pathetic is that?

Posted Hubby's cards this morning - 9 off them all family. I have just 2 family cards left to write. Seems very wrong at this time of year when family and friends re-unite and get together to have so little to write. I have many more "virtual" friends from the Runners World website ... see them at races (for a hug) and they are like long lost friends, but it's an online friendship that is somehow different.
I wouldn't be without my forum friends - I love them all, they are all so suportive and understanding and there is always someone there to help or listen when you need it, no I'd never be without them.

Just seems very sad a lonely tonight - empty bed, son asleep and no-one to write cards too, no-one to say "whopps did I forget to tell you my new address!" and the annual Christmas note asking how the family is and what's happened in the last 12 months.

I'll sulk off to bed now

PS:- just drunk a pint of water beanz, leon and Robert - will try to drink more tomorrow especially as it is club night so I need to drink before hand!

sweet dreams all

Thanks Benz ... I was just a tad down last night ... my pile of cards look pathetic, especially now Oliver has written about 30!

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...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
