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!

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
