Health Update!

Well as you know on Monday Mr ENT zapped me nose. Well the scab is annoying (as he expected!) and the "pressure" caused by it feels like I have sinusitis!

So as I wasn't running I decided to finally get the bathroom cabinet up that I failed to do 18mths ago! So with advise from PD I got some different wall fittings. I now have 2 blisters that have ouch burst on the palm of my hand! And no the cabinet is still not up!

The dishwasher isn't done either.

Oh and I now have an abscess on my gum!

So all in all I have decided to write off this week and have it as a recovery R&R week whilst I forget that BM is what 3 wks away!!

On the race front I have completed my Reading application (not posted until I have spare money!) and my Moonwalk cheque never got cashed (big shock that! NOT!)

I'm also playing with Ubuntu thanks to Ixus ... great looking and easy install as he said! Just need to try and work out how to get Samba done so I can access some devices and files on my XP box! Then I can get to work on re-designing this site for the new year (not sure which new year mind!)

Wrapping is all done now! (huge beam) so ready for Christmas down South!

Smug Grin

Sorry most of you may think I am speaking in tongues but for those tech heads out there ....

I'm currently using my Linux Box!!! Using XP as the Internet Connection! Never managed to get this sorted before! So very happy!!

Ixus you are a darling! Ubuntu is brilliant! I've hardly altered anything and it's working! Found my network and everything! Mwah!

[wanders off happy as Larry whoever he may be!]

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...

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 (...
