Darth Vader Goes Running

Ok so slight exageration but that is how I sounded on tonights run! Me finks that the cold is still there! HR was also high - average of 187 which is a good 10 beats up I guess.

Over all so much better than of late, with better pace, more consistent pace and no stopping for stretching calves. So I was really pleased aim was to do 4m and I did 4.125m in 53:57 so happy pixie. Best pace (excluding Fetch 1) bar just 1 run (and that was only 40mins) this month. Last 2 50mins runs have been 3.75 in 50mins and 3.9 in 52 so that shows the improvement.

Question is why?
Rest - week off on hols?
New shoes?
10 mins walking warm up?

Don't know and don't care 'cos the shower is calling!

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!?!
