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!

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...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
