... But not out

Saw the Dr yesterday and well ....

She can't see anything, commenting that if it bleed yesterday (as in Sunday) there should be a scab which either means she doesn't believe me (!) or that the bleed point is lower down that she can see.

I now have an ENT referral which BUPA will pay for (as long as the consultant is BUPA registered!!!), NHS referral would take 2-3 months.

I'm starting to worry about BM too as I keep on missing long runs and apart from that 9m at the relay I've not done passed 7m (and I don't think I could have done another 4m then).

Anyway kit is by my desk here, and I will plod at lunchtime. It's chilly but not icy or cold so I have no excuse.

As for BM, well anything under 2hr 59:34 is a PB and although I wanted 2:30 it is seeming more and more unlikely. So I will run and enjoy it and hope for a nice new shiny PB.

Been plodding:
3.7m in about 45 mins
(48mins including 2 shoe stops, road crossing stops and 1 long stretch stop)
Started off bad (not helped by muttering about how crap our helpdesk is!) and ended better
Still it's done

I haven't done longer than the 10K since Windsor - so don't worry plenty of time.

I am planning on building up an mile a week from my 6 miles last weekend.

So fret not.

maybe we can get together for some longer plods?

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!?!

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...
