My GPS thinks I am Paula!!


HTodays run was a 5R:1W trot down the canal path at work. Very hot today and I came back looking like a beetroot!

If you look for some reason the GPS seems to have had a slight err glitch! However it did get the total distance of 3.8m correct because if you add up the distances shown you get over 4!

Really pleased actually as the pace is much more consistent despite the heat (that made me feel quiet ill by the end!) mind you the legs know I've run now!

I also had my own mini race with a canal boat and I won! OK so that sounds daft but this is what happened ... just started my 4th set of running and passed a canal boat going the oposite direction. I finish my run:walk set and about turn. Then as I walk after my 5th run I see the boat isn't that far off and just like in a race I "picked him off" which was great! he was going a consistent speed and I passed him and stayed ahead!!

Ok I'm mad but I enjoyed it!

Oh and the Paula reference relates to the 5 min mile I did! hahahaha
Maybe I'll frame these stats!

shame it was a freak on the GPS and not my legs though Benz!!

Frags - I'm hoping that this means that I can move to running with fewer breaks at that pace and in cooler weather maybe be better!!

1st 10k since last July in a few weeks - haha. Only my 3rd race this year, will seem strange!

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!?!

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...
