ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

That about explains how I feel!!

Yesterday I had a good session and was hoping that if i exhausted myself I would get a great nights sleep and wake up refreshed! Err Nope!!

Anyway this is what happened yesterday.

I got home a bit later than normal and almost got back in the car to collect Gnome from school but decided not to as I thought I could use the run to school and walk back as a warm up and then get straight on the tready when we got home. So that's what I did.

The run to school took 5 mins and then we walked back home and I told Gnome to change have a drink and finish his lunch then watch TV/relax whilst I was on the tready then it would be homework time.

Off I went. Speedwork pyramid session which today I did at 9Km pace with jogged recoveries at 6.5km. And I did it! It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be so I was really pleased. As I had told Gnome I would be 30 mins and as I had done my warm up on the school run I decided to do 5mins walk at 5% incline, then a 5 mins jog at 7.5km and finally a 5 mins cool down.

It was then time for homework, the an early tea as Gnome and I were going swimming! Gnome can't actually swim properly yet but is confident enough to mess about un-assited so I managed to get some swimming in (junior training pool!) some pool running and some stretching which wa nice.

I was tired last night, I am still a tad drained but hey ho!

Hey well done Pix. If you are finding the speed session easy Perhaps it time to click it up to 10 Kph?

Oh and Giovanni is looking for you. He said something about besmirching his honour on Leons Blog. He says he can visit anyone with ice cubes.

oh I've had an anti bac cream in the past
still get them!
The last 3 have been 4-5 weeks apart
1 - sat at desk
2 - sat watching TV about to get on tready (you know the tready I'm not allowed to mention to Benz!)
3 - out on that run!

Also had them whilst eating tea and whilst asleep so no pattern or common cause!
Spans suggested a stress link pre-FLM
dunno
just run with tissues I suppose!

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!?!
