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!

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...
