Down


To say I feel a bit down and depressed today would be an understatement. I'm totally and utterly pissed off and fed up and annoyed and crap. Just crap. Utterly fecked off to be honest.

Those who know me will realise that this is so not me and therefore realise how fecked off I must be.

This morning. Get up. Have breakfast ready for long run. Walk to paper shop to A) check out weather and B) stretch legs.

I walk down the hill working out what to wear as it isn't that cold actually. I ponder when my next hill work will be (this is the hill I use) and work out which week of my plan I am on (do I need to hassle Spans for a new plan!).

Then I carry on happily "running through" today's planned run. New route so no expectations of time. It's a good day for a long run.

I've been 5mins and yes you guessed it my fecking nose starts to bleed. I've only got 2 manky old torn tissues in my pocket so decided to get the paper from the Tesco express (and some tissues). I get there (2mins further on) and it's stopped. I look at the tissues and think nah it's stopped. I walk to the next aisle, bend down to pick up a paper and oh look blood on the floor. Dash back to tissues (hand under nose to catch drips) grab tissues whilst telling the tesco lady I have to open them before paying. Shove tissue up nose collect papers, tell tesco lady floor needs cleaning, pay and sulk off home. Gutted. Down. Depressed. Fed up.

Since then I've pondered a run and decided "what's the point" if a walk to Tesco makes it bleed what will 8m do. This was followed with "why do I even bother", "I'll never be a good runner", and "might as well give up now".

Seeing the Doc tomorrow when I will say - 7 nose bleeds in the last 4weeks, 3 since Friday morning. I've had more in the last month than the rest of this year I think as it was about 1 a month before I had my nose zapped.

I can't even pin point a trigger. I've had them when asleep, when eating, running, walking, watching TV, blowing nose and whilst sat at work. No connections there then. High HR (running), low HR (sleeping but that was only once). Calm (watching TV, eating dinner), and working. The only thing that I can say is that I've never had my finger up me nose when it bleeds!

So there you are. Pixie is sat under a dark cloud and utterly fed up.

((Pix))Hope the trip to the Dr's is a good one. Atleast if your nosebleeds happen all the time you know it's not the running causing it!

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

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...

Munchtime Run

Woke up feeling "coldy" ... tender throat, tired and headache. Decided the headache was due to lack of drink the night before as I was talking to Duck for 90mins! So had some paracetomol and drink and packed my kit! My reasoning being that even if it was a cold it was not "on my chest" so no harm in running and anyway the fresh air would do my head good! Spent most of the morning feeling pants too. Headache has still there despite drink and drugs but I had my kit so off I went.1.2m in and the batteries on my GPS died! This meant it was me and the smog filled roads and my watch. As I alter my route slightly every run (so I don't compare splits!) I didn't really know the distance or pace. I did know that when I got to the Ford garage that the office was just over 1m away and I had about 13mins left when I got there. Problem was that it wasn't much further before my legs said "you are having a laugh!" and I started to flag. As I knew I was having ...
