Dark and Dreary

After days of glorious sunshine when we all moaned it was too hot, we had a day of rain and storms and now it's just dark and dreary and bleurgh.

Today I will be doing nowt. Well I took Gnome to the library twice and helped at Junior Club and we have the Tesco run to do but other than that nowt.

Tomorrow I will have to get up early to do my long run before hubby goes to work and then Gnome has Boys Brigade to go to then more nowt!

I had 10hrs sleep last night yet today I am still very tired and drained and I seem to have gained 2lb :-( Maybe last week's 2lb off was dehydration not sure. Anyway still lighter than i was and that's what counts!

Next week is the last week of the Spans Plan part I and then we start Part II.

Oh and Brass Monkey is On!!!! Yep Hubby has said OK and we may even make a family weekend of it as the 16th is his burpday!! So I now have a pukka race to aim for rather than the fun ones I have lined up! Just need to get a place now!!

Pix: used to take me a week or 10 days to get rid of post-TOTM bloat. And glad BM is shaping up.

thanks Cath - hope you are right! I think last week was lower than it should have been due to dehydration anyway as I didn;t drink much sundya afternoon knowing there was only 1loo stop on the way home!

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

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 (...

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
