Good Pixie! Bad Pixie!

Plan: 40 mins run 5:2
Run: Nowt!

Got up and spent an hour or so sorting gnome's stuff out as he is of on holiday for the week with his Gran and Grandad on their canal boat. Walked the 10 mins each way to the paper shop then off we went.

Got home had lunch and the tready arrived!!! Oh yes!
So I spent the next 4hrs (less 30 mins to sit down and drink a cuppa tea!) clearing the garage and making my tready! After which time I had had a good workout and was knackered! Hubby then decided we would go out for tea! I drove so no booze but vey nice and large dinner was consumed!

So it's here! 99% finished, just need to tighten some bolts and earth the plug then organise the garage again! Problem is do I do my 40min run from today or the intervals? Monday is my next long run (so I don't have a long run next weekend when Gnome is back as I would have missed him as it is!)

Oh and I passed the last section of the Fit2Run course and have the final bit to do!
Also I have enrolled on the free Get Fit For Life course with Loughborough college which is all about diet healthy living stress managment etc. Wednesday I am going for an assesment in a Bod Pod which accurately gives lean body mass, fat and total mass (or something like that!) also they will take blood pressure etc and then this will be repeated at the end of the course! The kick up the butt I needed to get this diet on the road! New Tready and this course - sorted!

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...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Planning Ahead

Right well this is the start of my week's plan! Tomorrow I will do test run on the tready afterwork which means I can easily stop if not right. Thursday I have the Christmas play to watch! Sunday I WILL GET UP EARLY and do a 2hr run! Problem is driving along thinking about where to run isn't a good idea when it's 5:30 rush hour traffic home! I've still not got my route planned. 2hrs will be 9+m I think and I don't really want to hit the main roads, much rather potter about on the back roads and the trail, I just don't know them so don't know which roads are safe to run on! Me finks I may do a detor on the way to work tomorrow!! hehe
