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!]

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...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
