Hmmm and it started so well ...

Training has been really good this week:
Monday 30 mins run
Tuesday 40 mins swim
Wednesday 40 mins run
Thursday 70 mins run
Friday 40 mins swim

Then I drove to mum's Friday night. Saturday morning up and into town for 9 - brisk 15mins walk (each way) to get my new shoes from the Sweat shop (still Suacony 3D Grid Hurricans but in the sale so only £60 and even though I don't need any for a couple of months at least I couldn't say no to a bargain!). Drove home (3hrs due to excessive amounts of slow traffic like tractors, trailers and caravans!). Got home and wanted a cuppa - no milk. Walked to the village (10mins each way). Did Tesco run. Then in the evening we went out, walked there 15mins each way.

So today was supposed to be speedwork whilst the in-laws and hubby where at cricket. They aren't going though due to the fact it is all but finished and isn't worth the petrol and time to drive there for 30mins cricket! So it looks like I won't get the speedwork in as they are coming here instead! Oh and why haven't I done it already? well having been away and working etc the house needs tiding and washing to be done before the in-laws get here!! grrrr!

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!?!

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
