And so for an update ...

Well FLM is now a memory - I went there and slayed the Dragon and have the medal and T-shirt to prove it!
Anyway since then I've been really tired and also suffered from the "Not quiet a cold" which has developed into a "almost a cold" thing! Which means I've done lots of resting and no exercising which isn't a bad thing anyway!
So what now ... well I'm going to start back slowly, physio has said to cross train for a further couple of weeks (I see him next week having turned up 24hrs late for this week's appointment!). I'm also still toying with the idea of the treadmill. I'd love one but then again it's a lot of money to spend if I am not going to use it!
Anyway so what are my plans - well I do really want to improve now and I'm now thinking long term instead of the next race or event. So I will be updating this site to reflect the new goals in life and make it a post FLM rather than pre-FLM site, and I am not entering next year's FLM, no really I am not!! I'm going to qualify for my next FLM!
One final thought to share as I go (thanks to Honda)

Set those long term goals, and do a few events along the way as a bit of letting off steam (and , dare I say it, "fun"!)

will be with you all the way Pix

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...

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 (...

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
