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!

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...
