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

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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
