Friday Fun

Today I have 2 events planned:

  1. Mini Midlands social!
  2. I WILL run!

I also plan to restrain myself and not let 1st line support wind me up and get me stress/comfort eating!

Well that's the plan anyway!

Currently sat here at work listening to Christmas songs whilst wearing my "Happy Hat" AKA a santa's hat!!

lunchtime edit ....

Well I've been out running! Managed 4.6m in 55mins so a second or two over 12mm pace. HR was up and I really can not imagine keeping that pace for 13.1m let alone anything faster. If I was still aiming for sub 2:30 I would need 11:27mm pace on average - now updated ETA to 2:45 and it will be close! I hope that the HR is only up as I finally get over my cold and that once that drops the pace will come with it! I have 2hrs to do Sunday and would like at least 9m to be dragged out!

Still wearing my happy hat too!! Maybe I should wear it to the social as I now have really bad hat hair!!

Remember Pix - BM is still a while away - and it's very different running in an event than it is on your own..!!

Okay - here's the deal - we'll meet up before FLM!!!!
We'll pick a time and place - and just do it!!

:o)

(ask Beanz - she'll tell you that I mean it..!!)

Oh the delights of 1st line support. I find killing the offending user relieves the need for comfort eating. May not solve the problem but makes you feel better ;-)

PS Good run

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...

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...

Planning Ahead

Right well this is the start of my week's plan! Tomorrow I will do test run on the tready afterwork which means I can easily stop if not right. Thursday I have the Christmas play to watch! Sunday I WILL GET UP EARLY and do a 2hr run! Problem is driving along thinking about where to run isn't a good idea when it's 5:30 rush hour traffic home! I've still not got my route planned. 2hrs will be 9+m I think and I don't really want to hit the main roads, much rather potter about on the back roads and the trail, I just don't know them so don't know which roads are safe to run on! Me finks I may do a detor on the way to work tomorrow!! hehe
