Totally and Utterly Fed Up

Plan: Long Run - 90mins 7.5-8m
Actual: 2m - total 27mins

Due to hubby being asleep (working nights) I didn't venture out until 12:30. It was crisp and clear with some pavements still covered in frost. Still cold but good running weather. Dressed in capri legs and long sleeved top with gloves and my standard baseball hat and sweat bands (a must for any of my runs whatever the weather - unless I need to wear my wool hat!) I ventured out happy that although I was cold I was running so would warm up and be fine.

So off I went, the plan being, up to Oakthorpe, back to Measham, down to Snarestone and back round to Measham through the back roads making about 8m. Originally I was going to do this the other was round finishing in Oakthorpe. But for some reason I decided on this route.

Literally 4-5mins into my run having already slipped up a couple of times on the pavement (!) I went to wipe my nose with my hand due to cold weather nose drip. Only it wasn't cold weather nose drip, it was blood.

A quick wipe and I carry on running. No need to stop. Only 5mins later my glove was a delicate shade of orange (yellow gloves!) and I was still ignoring it and running on. After 10mins of drizzles I stopped, turned off watch and GPS and stood for a minute. As I leant forward to check out the red splodges on my shoes my nose dripped. That was it, 1.5m in 19mins and I was so annoyed and upset I almost cried. I walked on for a bit (getting cold as I was dressed for running not walking and already a bit sweaty) fighting tears and holding my nose (please note I didn't have any tissues and by this time my pale blue sweatband was red.)

It seemed to have stopped so on went the GPS and watch and I thought "right I will finish my run" but within 5mins it was bleeding again and after a further minute or two I quit. So 2.2m done today and I feel crap.

I am really annoyed. I had my nose zapped to stop these. In the last 4 weeks I have had 4 bleeds. 2 whilst blowing my nose with my cold (both within 30mins of getting up so hardly due to lots of blowing), 1 at my desk during my lunch at work (just started on it's own) and today. Medical peeps advice, comments, views and help please as this is really getting to me now.

I am Christmas shopping tomorrow so doubt if I will have time or the light for a long run (hubby will be off to work at 7.30pm) which was why I was running today. I may try a tready run tomorrow night if the shopping doesn't exhaust me!

Anyway off to sulk rouns Sainsbury now.

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!?!
