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.

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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
