Life in the old bird???

Well today I have ... slept, eaten, drank, slept eaten finished my tapisty cushion, drank wine and done some wrapping.

Had a bath at 3 and got out of my PJ's and started to feel better. Washed my hair at 7 feeling much better (and that was before the wine!)

I WON'T go to work tomorrow as I feel tired still and run down and well I don't want to, I want to get over this lurgy properly so I can see the family feeling healthy, enjoy Christmas and start FLM training in earnest feeling refreshed!

I didn't go to club tonight and felt bad about that seeing as they were having a Christmas drink after but that's life sometimes. I would still like to do a long run this week but sensible head says make it a middle length depending on health. I think I will be OK but we will see.

Whilst wrapping I realised I was 2 small presents short. I have all our pressies but Oliver wanted to give people a present which meant a quick re-shuffle and now I am short. Tomorrow I will pop to tesco and hope to find some little manly presents for the grandads!

The tapistry that I started whilst pregnant looks good - I'm really pleased with it! Yes it looks hand made rather than shop bought (not quiet square!) but that shows it was me that put the time in and makes it special. I've enjoyed doing it too! I have an embrodery to finish (again a good 7-8 yrs old!) which I will give to mum and then I may get one of those teddy bear sets to make! Obviously I should be using my evenings for pilates, toning etc and when i get into the swing of marathon training I will! No really I will!

But now I'm tired again! I should change the bed sheets from where I had a nose bleed last night but tiredness has hit fairly quickly so that can be done tomorrow once hubby gets up (he's on nights!)

Yawn .... stretch ... night folks!

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

Smiley Happy Pixie!

I've been for a run!!! Yep it's true! Well back was fine after driving and doing the shopping ysterday as well as mowing the lawn. I watched the GNR and was jealous I wasn't running so ... I did 40mins of solid running .... longest solid run since Feb! Back fine - only niggle is shoulder from the ouch this morning when I was taking my tablets! No idea why! Felt really good and pace was much better than I expected .... not run for 10 days now! So 3.424m in 40:17 av pace 11:44mm (11.39,11.57,11.39,11.51) very happy! Really enjoyed it and really pleased! So back to training next week (and work). Tomorrow will be 50mins of walk run with a long run in the middle. Wednesday speedwork on the tready and Friday 40mins solid on the tready as hubby has to go to work early. Leaving a long run at the weekend. Fingers crossed!
