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......

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

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...
