Good News!

Since 7AM yesterday I haven't chucked up!!

Yesterday I ate 2 slices of dry toast and drank 1.5l of lucozade sport! For those of you who know me you will realise just how ill that made me! Toast was only eaten at 8PM because I ached so much and felt so rough I needed drugs and didn't want to take them on a totally empty stomach.

Today I have had 500ml L.sport for breakfast (well brunch as I woke up at 12:30!), 2 slices of toast for lunch (due to more drugs!) and soup and toast for tea (Gnome told me to eat saying drinking LSport alone was not healthy!!) The soup and toast were too much really and I felt really full after.

So I am a lot better and guess I will be returning to work tomorrow.

I do still feel a little weak but given the above diet it's hardly surprising now is it!?!

My throat is still iffy but I think Benz was right, I thought it had something stuck in it, but she suggested it was scratched and given I had some nuts Monday night it could be true. Especially as the feeling has almost gone (and I chucked up whilst I had this "something stuck" sensation!).

I do still hope to travel down to Berkshire at the weekend but I think my weekend 10-11m is off for sure! So I may go down Friday night (assuming I am fit!) and then try a plodette Saturday and if that is fine frolic on Sunday! Fingers crossed as I haven't seen Fraggle since FLM or Bear and Spans since before that and I really want to go!

hope you can make it Pix. If you're darn sarf and don't feel up to a frolic, then you can just come along and be sociable anyway :o)

morning

I'm glad you are feeling better Pix! You will notice that I have at last logged onto the Trailwalk blog. Did you know that the entries are open? Are we still going for it?

Don't go overdoing it now! You need a few days of good nutrition to build up your system, or you will just go down with something else.

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...
