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!

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...
