It's all in the mind!

On my last attempt to run, Wednesday, I felt awful as I had to walk so much amoung other things so today I went for a walk! Now this walk included some running, and the running was a lot better than Wednesday. My sinuses hurt with every foot fall but the legs and breathing were a lot better. Strangely though because this was a walk I didn't mind walking with running intervals (rather than Wednesday's run with walking intervals!). It's strange how the mind works isn't it - because this was a walk it felt good. Was very pleased with myself.

Also had my hair cut so had 2 short walk/runs then came home and had a bath. So lunch was soup and bread at 2.15 by which time I had started to feel wobbley (even my hand was shaking) but I wasn't actually hungry. I guess my blood sugar levels had dropped hence the shakes but the body still had the christmas excess so not hungry. Very strange.

Tomorrow hubby is at work from 6AM (so no New Year pish up for us!) so I intend to spend the day tidying and sorting stuff. I hope to get myself sorted so that I can do 30 mins CV work a day (ideally) either on my home stepper or exercise bike. Will also locate my gym ball and dumb bells so I can start to use those too. No excuses now 'cos FLM is calling and the weight must go and the wobbley bits must be tonned up and my core muscles strengthened for long runs.

Well they say it's the thought that counts!

Well done on the psychology - as you say so much is in the mind.

Happy New Year!

It was strange Beanz .. the run was about the same pace and the same amount of running but cos I hadn't planned to run it was an advantage! still I'll take anything as long as I get to the end of london in one happy smiley piece!
see you there!

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!?!
