Sulking

Tonight was club run ... have had 2 days off so thought I would be fresh. Again it was really hard work.

Tried the new shoes out (same as old ones) and they were lovely, until I got a blister on my heal (never had one there before ... I can see what it rub on, its the insole).

So sensible head time ... if Fraggle does come up then I will do Helsby, otherwise I won't. I'm just not ready anymore. Really annoyed but if I want to get to FLM in one piece I have to be sensible.

sorry for posting twice - blogger seems to have trouble with accepting my posts - so I thought the first one hadn't got there!

Morning folks .. nice blister on the outside of my heal ... so it rubbed on the in-sole of the shoe. Normally they go down over night but not this one! Still hurts just to stand on hit due to he location so I have a compeed on (which didn't want to stay on so it strapped on with micropore!)
Leon... as you say FLM is the goal and although I can do 13m I think it will take far too much out of me and therefore impact on FLM. The run last night was less than 4m and at 12mm pace, I really couldn't see me running for more than 6-7m let alone 13! Sunday's 7 was really hard. i didn't get to the start line last year and if I don't get there this year it's back to the ballot, and I don't want to go through that pain and the hours of training again!
Sensible head still says no (unless Fraggle comes up - I can't let her down, she needs time out just now). Instead I will do 10m at home max.

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
