Laying Down The Law!!

In 2006 I WILL COMPLETE THE TRAILWALKER!!!

There I've said it! I am not doing FLM (I will support) but I WILL do the TW and I will finish it!

So Goals for next 12mths:

-> Train for and complete TW06.
-> Lose weight (1st minimum to get to 10st ish)
-> Sub 2:15 Half.
-> Improve swimming.

That'll do for now!


2pm EDIT FOR BEAR!!!

Trailwalker - to complete as a team in under 30 hours.
Lose Weight - to lose get to 10.5st for Christmas and 10st for Reading (March) and 9.5st for the TW.
Sub 2:15 Half - at Reading Half Marathon in March
Improve Swimming - Be able to swim a proper length of front crawl by the end of 2005!

Happy now Bear!!

Pix - be SMART with goals

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Achievable
R = can't remember!
T = Time oriented

Basically - things like "10 stoneish" is vague, but not as bad as "improve swimming" - how about setting a target distance or something?

Sorry - that sounds critical - trying to help but not putting it very well :o(

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...
