Shattered!

Well I've done 78.6m on my bike this bank holiday weekend and I am totally shattered today!
Yesterday I did 15m to meet up with Beanz and Benz at "my pace" then a steady 10m with the girls to finish. We had a great time and just to set the record straight I was talking about supporting Benz on her 145m GUC race not actualy doing it! Not sure about Beanz though! She definately has some 50m event in kent lined up, mentioned it several times in fact!

My finger is still "numb" but wasn't dancing after yesterday's cycle which is good! Butt is fine too, it's just the energy levels that have gone walkies!

I've worked out that at this rate I will be going to FLM with an 7-8 weeks running taper! Which is a little concerning but hey FLM will be a party! I've decided that I will take a strategy of walking FLM with running intervals, and if I can do 16mm then I will also have a new PB as Abingdon has an offical finish time (Ok so I got lost and wasted about 30 mins but the official time is ...) 7hrs 3mins which is just over 16mm pace.

Suppose I should get ready for work now!! Cya!

Hey Kim, this cycling training seems brilliant - you are going to be in such good shape by race day. You will (almost) genuinely be able to claim you did FLM with a broken leg! Keep up the good work.

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...
