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!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...
