As Time Goes By

So lets see ... Friday I popped off home to Berkshire to do the daughter thing (climb into loft to get Christmas stuff down, do tree etc) and then to Frolic on Sunday.

It was FAB to see everyone on Sunday.

Having been ill at the beginning of the week I hadn't run for a few days and as I was now eating properly I felt fine and was looking forward to a trot in the woods. I soon found that my legs had a different idea, something like "barfing and hardly any food for 2 days... you must be joking!" oh and then my nose decided to join in the fun too! Still it was lovely and a HUGE fanks to Fraggle for looking after me and missing out on the full run. Oh and a smaller fanks to Zilla for making me run to the car when my legs shouted STOP!!! I see he is learning from coach Spans!!

This afternoon I am off early because I have my ENT appointment and then I am not back at work until Jan which is great!!

I will report back after my apointment!

later......
[snuffle sniffle]

Well Mr ENT says "oh yes lots of weak areas there" and has (I quote!) "aggressively cautaurised" me nose!

Got a mouthful of anesthtic too! Yuck! Now I am trying (and failing!) not to sneeze and my nose is sore and running lots! I mean LOTS! And I sound all bunged up and congested too!

This does however mean another 1-2 days off running! So I now have had to cancel my Beanz run tomorrow! May even cancel Thursday's long run (was supposed to be Friday but hubby now working early Friday!) so this week is gonna be fun! Still if it stops the pesky things I'm more than happy!

Off to get tea! Laters!

It'll be worth it missing a run or two if your nose is better.

Take care Pix

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

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

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...
