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!

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...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
