Running Again!

Yesterday I did my scheduled speedwork - 1st time I had really done what I would call a proper session of speedwork. ! walked the 10 mins to the leisure centre then jumped on the tready. Spans had listed a pyramid session of 1min hard, 1 walk, 2hard, 1 walk, 3 hard, 1 walk then 2 then 1 - you get the picture! I did the "hard" at 8Km ph and found it easier than I thought I would whilst still being trying. I finished the session off with loads of crunches and leg exercises and stretches then walked to school to collect Gnome feeling good.

This morning I woke up early and the sun was out so I did my 30 mins early (5R:3W) and off I went too keen to realise I had forgotten my GPS so again it's an I think for distance - I think it was about 2.5m but not sure! I used my phone for MP3 music and had some funky music on which I soon discovered was too fast for a beat but great to run too! The last run was harder going but I did keep going and then I finished off with a 10 min walking cool down as the Physio had said a cool down was very important!

Tomorrow I have my 70 min run of 3R:3W so I am trying to locate some better music! Problem is I can't remember how I got the music on my phone!!!

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

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
