5.5m I think!

Well by the time I had wandered round that field I think it was about 5.5m which is just under 15mm!! So as I said earlier crap!

Oliver then wanted to go swimming so we then spent 45 mins in the pool - he can't swim so it wasn't swimming as such, a couple of widths of the junior pool and some water aerobics. Followed by roast pork belly + yorkshire pud (Oliver loves it!) + crackling and now on the wine!

Tomorrow's run won't be a recovery run now will it!!

Two weeks today I'm supposed to be doing a half. I suspect it will be a struggle but as Frags says "it's a training run"! and unless I die it should still be a PB. I may consider changing the Bramley 20 to the 10 (I have until 7th Feb to change). Beanz wants to do tha Ashby 20 so I will see if A there is an offical cut off and B if I can run it with her. That's when I next go to club which will hopefully be Wednesday. Also need to go to club so that I can get some new shoes as the chairman owns the Derby Runner.

Off to finish my wine now!

pixie,
fraggle is right about the training run - that's how I'm treating BM too.

souinds like today's run was a (short) long slow - better than being inside eating, even if it was not what you wanted.

If you're coming over to Derby Runner let me know - we can meet for a run or a coffee and bun?
[WW tomorrow - first weighin for 3 weeks!]

Thanks folks!
Benz the crackling was wonderful! Belly is so yummy (something to do with all that fat!), only problem was as I took the roast out of the oven I sloshed half the fat on the floor and me!
Kit is in the bag for today (GPS has new batteries!) and although I have had a few coughs not too bad this morning!

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...
