Extra Session!

Well got home from work and the school run and I was tired.

I put the "rest or run" vote to the FFF gang and got told "marathon runners go to bed tired and wake up tired" and reminded of my GFA target! So I looked out of the window and watched the rain run down the pain and put on my kit.

Plan was to take Gnome to BB then if the rain had stopped to run or if the rain persisted to drive to BB and use the local gym (I still have passes from when I was injured!) and then pick him up and drive home.

It rained and rained so off to the gym I went. Tready in use ... damn (why did I go to the gym and not drive home?). So I decided to make the most of being in a gym and cross train. So 15 mins on the stepper and then I used all the weights machines (small gym so this means upper body only and 3 machines! + leg extensions!), with 3 sets on each then some abs work then some free weights then a cool down on the bike.

Me finks me upper body may complain tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I am off to Derby City General Hosp for my DEXA scan so working 8-11 then hossie then school run. I think that I may have a spare 30 mins if the hossie is on time and I don't get lost going home! If so I will fit in one of my runs if not I will run when Gnome is doing his home work!

Tomorrow is also supposed to be sports day - given the rain today I am not so sure!!

Friday is report day!!

One potential bit of good news. The school sent home a questionaire today as they are looking to introduce a breakfast club and after schools club in January. This would be great for me as I can't get child care and would mean I would work sensible hours and as I get fitter I could even consider doing doubles with lunchtimes sessions and evening sessions! See I will lose weight and get that GFA!!

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!?!
