Today I WILL BE CALM!!

The last two days have been hell ... maga stress at work. The problem is for me stress = eat = feeling fat = upset = stress etc etc

I spent all of yesterday doing that same thing - something that should have taken 5 mins, something that another colleague had done in a template format to make a 5 min job, and it was ALL wrong.

I could have easily cried at times yesterday I felt that hopeless and crap. So God knows what my weight will be doing by the end of this week (which is also TOTM which also means food!)

Supposed to be going for the works curry/christmas do tomorrow night - think I will skip it (Well Oliver is unwell and needs his mummy!) and go to club instead!

Talking of club last nights run was a de-stress run! I actually lead for most of the 1st mile - then it was decided that I'm too errr "quick" when crossing roads!!!! hehe

Anyway Brian took over and decided that seeing as Cheryl and I (we started within 1 week of each other) had improved that we would up the pace and do some intervals - up hill!

It was the same route we took last week and I was shocked it was only 40 secs slower this week as I was shattered after 3m of hills and intervals! Shows I must be improving somewhere and somehow!!

So today I aim to try and keep the food under controll and to stay calm and controlled. This is the same promise I made to myself yesterday morning!

we'll see what happens!

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
