Unintended Step Back Week ....

Schedule said 50mins 5:1 stready run. Given my speedwork pace has increased I decided to do this at 8km instead of 7.5km.

After 4 sets I gave up. My HR was all over the place (Max 190 - speedwork max 193) and I almost fell off the tready twice! Which was odd cos the pace felt OK apart from the fact I was clock watching after 2 mins on each set! So I decided to call it quits for safety reasons!

So lets review -
The last few days (before Friday's blood zapping) I've been saying "I'm tired". Sunday's run was a mare and today I quit.

So I am going to make this a step back week and just do some short runs sticking to walk run but not the plan. Then next week I will start with week 7 properly and hopefully with some energy!

Also the hossie was well on time! In fact I was there early and went straight in! Nursey weighed me and it read 4kg less than what the scales said at the beginning of my Get Fit For Life course which is well cool! The scan results will be with the GP within 2wks so I will need to make an appointment then.

good idea to take it easy for a week Pix - you'll come back to it even better next week.

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!?!
