Speedwork Or Not (as the case may be!)

Yesterday was Wednesday which meant speedwork day. I had to do some shopping at lunch which meant a tready run. Unfortunatly I didn't get to do my run when I got home. So I thought "I'll run when hubby goes to work tonight!" but Duck called and didn't put the phone down until 11pm and NO I was not running then!

I got up today and the car is white with frost. So tights packed for a lunchtime session but not sure about top ... tee or sleeves???

I will report back later!

Take 1 cold day and 1 very crap morning at work and you get a dodgy speedwork session!

Started off fine but I was running far to hard - I looked at my watch and saw 9.XX 2-3 times within my 1st 3 sets meaning that after the 3rd set I needed to stop and stretch! Overall thought it was fairly good though. The legs really ache in the "damn hard session" way which is good! Was a bit up and down pace wise but that's what comes from a stressy run! Anyway 3.8m done!

Due to carp day at work today I downed a glass of wine tonight :-( Don't normally drink on a school night but it was left over from Sunday and sat there staring at me. Don't know what Mr McKenna would think but he does say have whatever you want but enjoy it and I did so I guess that's OK!!! I've been listening to his CD the last couple of nights and 2-3 times during the day and I haven't snacked at all these last 3 days! I must keep listening and maybe with a bit of luck I will lose some balast for BM!

Nite folks.

PS wine meant no pilates agais this week - bad pixie

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!?!
