Misserable Pixie

Yes that's right I'm feed up! Not so much because Christmas has been poo 'cos it hasn't but I've had a cold since last Monday and this means I haven't run since week ago Saturday. Still got a head full of snot but not coughing so much so will try a trot this afternoon.

For christmas I did get 2 sports nutrician books by Anita Bean which I've been reading to help with the recovery process and carbo loading too. Also got the normal pressies of clothes and chocolates! Oh and about 4lb extra!

Hope everyone else had a good time - I'll report in after my trot as it is a short 3.5wks to helsby and 16.5 wks to FLM!!

Sorry you still have a rotten cold - you must have been really run down.

Don't overdo it in your come back.

16.5 weeks is still plenty of time.

aww thanks guys!
Well I managed 2.7m in 36 very slow mins. Felt awful! 1st 1/4m was fantastic though! I think it was a "had to be done" run and that tomorrow will be better (when I will find some footpaths to get muddy on!) as the main problem was legs not wanting to work!
Helsby is on the 23rd Jan - I did 11m the other week so the distance should be OK but I think that my goal of 2.20 should be revised to 2.30-2.45 which is still a PB (PB is 3hrs!)
leicester general hossie is gearing up for an influx of flu so I guess there is something in the area - oh joy!
Monopoly calling so must dash!
Thanks again
Glad you are back running leon!

Yes Benz 2:20 is for reading now!
Beanz monopoly was good - Oliver kept interested for ages. We didn't finish (has anyone ever finished?!) but he was good and it was something we all did which was good!
Cough was bad last night (I'm sure it wasn't the wine!) and I feel like I spent all of yesterday working on my abs today! Nose running too - grrrr

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!?!
