Ouch!



Yesterday I rested and also noted a slightly tender right hamstring. Resting meant doing a few squats whilst bored.

Today when I woke up my right quad was stiff - I ignored it. Then at lunch I ran (see above!) and didn't notice it. This afternoon my legs ('specially the right quad!) are tired and that quad is stiff :-(

The run was very hard work - my legs were saying "Where is my walk break!" as I did 20 mins of running in the middle. A part of the problem was that I am now used to running at 11-12 mm pace so did my normal 5:1 at this pace then started the 20R at this pace only to die in the second half! Also had a horrid stitch that would not go away. After about 7-8 mins of trying to run through it I walked for a couple (hence the figure are a bit out 'cos I hit the wrong button on my watch!) but it stayed (was a bit better) so I carried on.

Resting tomorrow (hope to go to the cinema) then hopefully the legs will be up to a long run Sunday!

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!?!
