Dedication

Well two things come under this heading today well actually three.
Firstly me! Today I have been good! I've behaved food wish, I've listed to myself and although I have had a treat I was in controll.
Breakie was a yoghurt with cereal (grape nuts 20g) mixed in which seems to last a few hours with minimal calories! Add the curry from last night and this meant Breakie was late and also no snacks eaten!!
By lunch I had drunk 1.5l of fluid too!
Lunch was a wholemeal pitta with a small tin of tuna (with sweetcorn and low fat mayo) with a LARGE salad (box takes almost 1l and it was almost full) followed by a yoghurt.
As a treat I bought an individual chocolate ... it was very nice but much larger than I thought but hey ho!!
I also looked at low carb foods ... not cos I am going all low carb and atkins but because they have higher protein levels. It is often mentioned that slim fast is a good replacement for a recovery drink and now they have a "lo cal, lo carb" range and this give 21g of protein per can. So I have one to try (interestingly it is 35-40 cals lower than normal slim fast too!)

Club run tonight ... we tend to do 11-12mm pace with some hills/intervals and I guess it will be 4-5m so that'll burn some calories!! My Polar seemed to give me about 115 cals per mile so if I think of calories that is what I use as a guide. Which means that my ready meal will be almost accounted for by today's run!

So today I have been dedicated to looking after me!! Long may it last!

Secondly I've noticed that some people are just not dedicated bloggers!! I mean "yawn zone" hasn't been updated since 1st Jan and some haven't been updated since conception! Tut tut!!

Conversly and thirdly some have been dedicated to updating their blogs and playing with the tools - namely Beanz and Aim High! Thanks to this I have noticed the "compose" tab and found colour etc ... whereas I was merrily updating my blog using the default tab of "edit HTML"
Now life is so much easier.

So that's my update for this afternoon!!
Boring I know!
Sorry!

A good positive blog - I am pleased, pix.

I was using compose, with no enahnacements, until AimHigh gave me some tuition.

Have a good weekend.

I hope I can run on Sunday, cos I have carboloaded today - no endorphins for days makes me feel lumpish.

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!!
