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!

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
