Very hard 5k

Todays run was in a very strong wind and very hard work!
Distance1m2m3m3.1m

Started off great with 1st half mile in under 5 mins and feeling good, then I turned the corner straight into a head wind. Didn't take long to slow down and the extra effort started my coughing. Phlegm lined throat (sorry!) made me splatter and I had to stop and walk for a bit.

A tad disappointed after yesterdays great run.

Today I used my GPS and I think that the route measuring via Tracklogs yesterday was a tad inaccurate (say 0.2m). If I had todays run yesterday I would have been happy, but because yesterday was good today fel bad! Does that make sense?

Oh and the snot monster is back!

Thanks Fraggle. Yes it is very hard and yesterday's good run made it worse today as it seemed even slower (I know it was but that wind ...)

weather reports say the wind is between 30 and 43 MPH which is why it was so hard, so not soooo bad!

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

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
