Today I RAN!!!!

Today I had to wait in for the gas man (no heating or hot water on tap for 3-4 days is tiresome!) and as I sat there I realised that I could do my run this morning rather than tonight! So I started to get all excited and sat there waiting for the gas man to finish fidgetting like a todler deperate for a wee!

Then he was finished and I dashed upstairs throw on my sports bra and was out of the door! No HRM, GPS or water ... I was so excited!! I walked to the field (3-4mins) not wanting to tempt fate and then I ran! OK so it was only for 36 mins at 5:1 run:walk but it was fantastic! I ran and laughed like a kiddie!

I'm also being very sensible and looking forward to post FLM. I know I have maintained a level of fitness with the bike/gym but I want to say goodbye to the lardy, overweight, slow pixie and find that speedie pixie that I am sure is lurking somewhere in the blubber!

I got more money for my birthday and hubby has said I should add it to my graduation money and get a tready. This would mean I could run more frequently come rain or shine and also be "in the house" so I've been looking about and the Pro-Form 360P takes my fancy!

Who knows maybe one day I will get the GFA time!

Yay again! Without being too sentimental, it seems that you will get more out of this FLM with the injury than without it...

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
