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!]

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

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...

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...
