Staggering On

Today, being Wednesday, seems to have become speedwork day. As I am repeating week 4 it means the same nasty session that I battled with last week! I decided to do this at work seeing as the boss is off and I thought it would do me good to have to learn some pacing myself and maintanence of pace rather than relying on the tready to pull me along.

So off I went with the GPS on to help with the pacing ... 0.7m later the batteries run out! Doh!! So I continued by doing them on feel, heart rate and time. Not sure of distance covered - I think I did an extra bridge today, but time was a few seconds over 40mins.

I think I kept the pace fairly even and my HR was acting similar to last week so the effort was about the same either way! Annoyed that the GPS died again, but I have now got some new batteries so Friday's run will be fine! Back to the tready next week and the following 2 weeks when I am collecting Gnome from school!

This afternoon the legs are feeling well and truely worked!

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

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
