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...

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...
