Hmmmmm

Following on from Sunday's fun run I rested on Monday and then prepared to hit week 7 of the Spans Plan

It read:
Steady Run
45mins
-> 10mins ratio 5 run: 1 walk
-> 20mins run
-> 10mins ratio 5 run: 1 walk

Easy she thinks and drags butt out off bed to the tready. Gnome had decided to get up at 6 which wasn't part of the plan and I was on the tready by 6.30.

I did:

1min walk warm up
5mins run (7.5km for runs)
1mins walk
5mins run
1min walk
1min stretch
10mins run
5mins walk
sulk
sulk
strop
shower

My legs felt like lead, they were heavy and tried my HR was high too, topping 189 by the end of the 10mins run (193 is what I get doing intervals so this is high). Gnome had decided to join me on the exercise bike and was distracting me and I gave up. I was really annoyed at giving up. (Gnome did 11mins on the exercise bike and declared he had done 11miles!)

This morning I have woken up with a sore clammy throat, stiff all over (especially my back when I first got up) and a headache (started yesterday really) so I guess that explains it.

Still feed up about it though!

Pix, vrap once said to me "your body can get better, or it can run - don't expect it to do both well if you push it"

:o)

It'll come good again.

don't be fed up - just wait and then you'll get your spring back in your step.

It is one of the great uses of HRM - a high rate than normal gives you a warning that something is going wrong and you need to ease back

I'm with Highway Kind here. The high HR showed that your body wasn't in a mood to play today.

Take your HR before getting out of bed in the morning and apply this rule of thumb

If its 5 bpm over normal, easy run at most
If its 10 bpm or more over normal then no running at all.

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!?!
