Bugger - annoyed pixie

Well hubby called today to declare that the washing machine had died. This meant I had to pop into the shop on the way home to see how much breaking of the bank was involved and availabilty.

Due to badly timed client call I actually ended up being the last to leave and late. Add on time in shop and drive home and I was starving. So cooked and ate. Walked to the villiage and back to collect Gnome from BB and spent ages on the net looking at white goods.

Time went wizzing past, hubby made a cuppa I got freezing cold and fell asleep on the sofa, so no run.

Tomorrow I have a club committee meeting which means I won't get to run unless I run at gone 9:30 on the tready. So looks like a Wed, Thurs, Fri session which I don't like doing as I like to rest between runs and I really wanted a run today.

Huh

Oh and I have thrown away my Marafun magazine so no temptation to enter FLM!!

It's only recently occurred to me that I haven't actually filled in the form for FLM!!! I usually do it in July or August, whenever the magazine comes out despite having a guaranteed place from my charity almost in perpetuity.

Still haven't filled it in though. Tis near the surface which is a step forward..... Now to compete tax return by 30 September.... much more important :-(

Pix is obviously tempted or else she wouldn't have waited this long to throw the magazine away.

Quick send her another.

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 (...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

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...
