Well this week I am racing.
It's my 1st race since FLM (well 1st offical race, I did do the Fetch 1Mile but that wasn't a real race was it! More of a time trial really!) and I hope to race rather than just run. I'll still be slow but hey!
So what about the rest of the week? Well 2 runs I can confirm are:
40mins steady run (no walks) - tomorrow ???
Speedwork - pyramid session - Wednesday
Which leaves my steady run of 53mins and my 90mins long run (circa 7m) but these depend on what is happening on Sunday! If I do just one leg (which I believe is leg 9 @2.5m) then I will race that and trot to the finish (leg 10 @1.5m) which when adding a 1m warm up would give my steady run. This would mean I would then need to find time to do my long run!
If I did 2 legs (+ warm up(s) and trot to the finish) then this would be my long run! I would prefer this actually! Quite fancy the challenge of 2 runs! But I will see what team captain Beanz comes up with! Hopefully I will have an answer before Thursday so I can work out when to do these two runs!
Other things that have kept me busy are ummmm hmmm well computers I guess. I'm aiming to install Linux Fedora at home for me to learn from which has meant a swap of the computers meaning Gnome now has the newest PC (my old college PC) and I have the cheap one I got from work (the second best of the 3 leaving the old PII 333mhz for the Internet).
Gnome has yet again expressed his desire to "make" a computer game and has even described his "easy and simple" 3 level driving game! I was doing my best to put him off, however I have found a free bit of software which might do what he wants without needing to code!
Games Maker looks like it will do exactly what he wants so I have downloaded it and all the tutorials and that's my other task for the week! If I can learn what to do and sit him down to play at the weekend both of us will be very happy! Especially as I will be out for some 6+ hours on Sunday!! I will report back later but if any of you computer geeks out there (Caff?) wanns have a play then let me know how you get on!!! If it's good I may even register it (yes using really money!) and maybe create a network game for us to play with! How cool would that be!!
Anyway must dash seeing as I am at work!!
My First Game!!!... Ok so I followed the tutorial but I did it! It's just under 1mb but do feel free to play! And it tool me less than 30mins to do!!
