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...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Planning Ahead

Right well this is the start of my week's plan! Tomorrow I will do test run on the tready afterwork which means I can easily stop if not right. Thursday I have the Christmas play to watch! Sunday I WILL GET UP EARLY and do a 2hr run! Problem is driving along thinking about where to run isn't a good idea when it's 5:30 rush hour traffic home! I've still not got my route planned. 2hrs will be 9+m I think and I don't really want to hit the main roads, much rather potter about on the back roads and the trail, I just don't know them so don't know which roads are safe to run on! Me finks I may do a detor on the way to work tomorrow!! hehe
