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

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...
