After Wednesday's (cough) run I decided to rest especially when it seemed I had a cold.
Fortunatley this one seems to have died as quickly as it arose, despite having 3 nose bleeds in 4 days!
Feeling a lot better today.
So what have I been up to..... well I rested Thursday and Friday, did junior club (indoors) on Saturday and 1hr in the pool with son on Sunday.
Junior club included 15 mins of dodge ball with the adults throwing the balls ... this was effectively 15mins of squats and boy did my butt know about it on Sunday!!
Today I did go to work despite thinking otherwise (I felt guilty at the thought of staying at home when the team is so short of staff) so took my trainers in and did a 34min power walk. Felt good actually and I had a smug grin on my face as I came up behind folks and over took them as they wandered alone! I even did a couple of short stretches with the "race walk wiggle!". Problem is I now feel inclined to do this 3 times a week (non club days) which is good but using my HRM and SDM, which is quiet sad really! I think it was about 2.2m I did today but I am really interested to know how fast I did manage to go in those fast periods! oh and how far it was so that I can challenge/motivate myself to inprove and indeed get out there for the walk in the first place.
This walking has a two fold benefit;
1) It's aerobic training almost like BT I guess
2) It's good practice for the Moonwalk in June where I want to beat my 7hrs 43 time from 2004!
So I guess tomorrow I'll be back out with my walking! Good thing about lunchtime training is that it reduces my food intake as I don't eat so much before and don't go out spending at lunch as I have to bring in food! So save money too!
Maybe I'll get that fit sexy slim body one day after all! (pixie wakes up from dream)
Nite!

So plan is to keep on walking at lunch (maybe get to a stage where I also walk on club days) to suppliment my FLM fitness. Then keep it up for the moonwalk, and convert my weekend long runs to long walks then (max2hrs) which will allow me to recover from the marathon and form a good base as well as get into good shape for the moonwalk. Then start running for speed after that!
It's nice to have a plan - just so you can change it!! hehe!
