bleurgh

Yep me is 'ick.
Whole house has a cold and I feel cold, sicky, sore throat and hear achy! Oh joy!

Off for sports massage on back after work so hopefully that will see that off meaning I can get back to running and improving in time for BM!!

Thank you also very much for your support on the beginners idea.

This is something I want to do and I will do but there is also loads to thin about and work out. Like a training course ... next one is in Exeter and I am not going that far!!

Also my own training is important to me and the GFA too so this will need to fit in together. But I am taking on ideas and looking at plans and training and will be, perhaps, writing some "stuff" in preparation. So watch this space but don't hold your breath tooo tightly!!


PS Yoghurt Maker is FAB!

Post Massage Update

Ouch!

Well no damage done but very tight muscles round lower vertibra. She was concerned it had locked at first but I have too much movement so she isn't so worried now but still very tight.

She thinks I had a muscle spasm for some reason unknown and Dr was just trying to get rid of me with the garden thing and DOMS; if pain comes back physio straight away.

Right lower back very ouch ouch tight.

Both shoulders tight too possibly due to spending all day at a keyboard. Has suggested I raise chair so arms are lower as the currently suggested postion tends to push the shoulders up, this would explain why I sometimes get tingling sensations on my shoulders (I didn't mention that cos I was biting a towel at the time!)

Back on Tuesday for more pain. Doubt if I will go again due to the finances but ouch!

PS she thinks that running marafuns is unnatural and humans were not designed for it! Benz had better not meet her then!! hehe!

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
