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!

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
