Smiley Happy Pixie!

I am so glad I got my tready!

Again home from work, tea done and hubby off to work and I'm alone to go play on my tready!

Intervals tonight @10.30PM:
  • 2mins walking @4.5
  • 5 mins @7.5
  • pyramid intervals
  • 1Hard 1walk
  • 2Hard 1walk
  • 3Hard 1walk
  • 2Hard 1walk
  • 1Hard 1walk

The walk was my normal 4.5 and the hard was 9km ph!! My best yet, hard but good! Won't increase next week, will stick to 8.5-9km ph!

Then, as The Count has said 40 mins exercise is optimum, I walked at 4.5 for the remaining 20 mins on hills, max 9.5%. Final score 40mins 3.9km.

Considering I never ventured above 7km in my past treadmill life and claimed they were horrid things and I couldn't run on them, just tripped over my feet the whole time etc etc I don't think I am doing badly!!

Tomorrow I collect Gnome, meeting the in-laws and gnome at a pub near Lichfield at 7.30PM. If I get to leave work early I might do my 40mins tomorrow and rest all weekend, otherwise it will be rest tomorrow and Saturday and 40 mins Sunday nighte once hubby has gone to work! Next weeks sessions will again be at night as hubby is working nights again next week.

This is so why I bought the tready - why didn't I do it before!

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!!
