Can't Admit to being Injured

Well I haven't run since Bramley ... I have my excuses ... recovery, cold, snow, windy, cold and icey.

Today I haven't had any ibruprofen and I think I have done something to me leg. So I will go to club tonight, speak to people, possibly run, probably run!!

Sunday I will attempt a long run. I want to do about 14m but hubby will be at work Sunday morning so this means I will have to get up before 6AM so that I can be awake and out of the nice warm house before 6.30AM. At that time it will be about -5 so NO leon despite what you say I WILL NOT be doing the ice bath when I get back!!

But 1st thing 1st - club tonight!

club run of 3.3m and now I have a sore leg. It wasn't the pace, maybe it was the hills as it was the hills that slowed me down last week.
Will see Dr Monday and get to a Physio.
Looks like long run will have to be cancelled and replaced by something else.
Really down about this all - got my ashby 20 number yesterday and now it's looking like a DNS

oh yesterdays run was far from fast but it was hilly and it was when I got to the hills that the leg started to notice at Bramley (and I slowed down!)
Walking about today has been OK - so it's the impact of running + imclines (I always said I hated hills!)
I may ask if I can start the Ashby race early, the leaflet implies a small field (500) so I WILL be last and don't want to keep the marshalls (my club mates!) out too long especially as club peeps normally run the course on the sat for their own prizes!!
(see still think I can do it!)

Assuming I last the 20m I WILL be last cos I'm slower than you and you know that!!
I'd love a running partner for some of the run if you can slow down for me

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Smiley Happy Pixie!

I've been for a run!!! Yep it's true! Well back was fine after driving and doing the shopping ysterday as well as mowing the lawn. I watched the GNR and was jealous I wasn't running so ... I did 40mins of solid running .... longest solid run since Feb! Back fine - only niggle is shoulder from the ouch this morning when I was taking my tablets! No idea why! Felt really good and pace was much better than I expected .... not run for 10 days now! So 3.424m in 40:17 av pace 11:44mm (11.39,11.57,11.39,11.51) very happy! Really enjoyed it and really pleased! So back to training next week (and work). Tomorrow will be 50mins of walk run with a long run in the middle. Wednesday speedwork on the tready and Friday 40mins solid on the tready as hubby has to go to work early. Leaving a long run at the weekend. Fingers crossed!
