Amazing!

Two reasons to be amazed today

1) I have an International star as a coach! Yes Spans is running the 10m Great South Run for Wales! She got her Welsh Internation Vest today! I am so proud of her! She deserves it as she has worked so hard! So WELL DONE SPANS!!!!

2) I've been for a run! Not a huge run or a fast run but I went out! 10 mins walk run warm up to the hardware store in the village followed by 50 mins (2x 5:1, 1x25:1, 2x 5:1) which gave me 3.8m. Add the warm up and cool down and it's nearer 5m. I've not run much in the last 2 weeks but did walk a lot last week. Still it was fairly hard work, harder than I expected but it was FAB! Started off too fast (boobs told me that! Need a new bra!) which felt great but when I hit the second mile which was uphill followed by more uphill the legs went ARRRGGGHHHH. But hey I loved it!

I may even go out again tomorrow if I can ... Sainsbury run to do and a tonne of washing in the new machine (the best part of 2 wks worth of washing!) then the Sunday roast to cook! Then TV to watch as hubby is off to work leaving me all alone!! Still that allows me to also read on of my Anita Bean Sports Nutrican books or review beginners running stuff or some cross stitch or indeed do bugger all!!

A run is a run, and worth twice as much when you enjoy it.
:-D
Isn't that, in part, why we do it in the first place..??!!

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!?!
