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

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

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...
