It's Christmas!!!!!

Lo folks!
Just thought I would pop in briefly to say

Happy Christmas!!!!
and a FAB 2006!

Currently (pun intended!) Gnome is playing with Hot Wires and loving it! It's his "best present ever!"

I'm playing Sudoku on my new handheld game and hubby is (shock horror!) watching the racing on TV!

I've still not run since the Frolic. Monday I had my nose zapped and that knocked me for a few days and then Christmas got in the way! Christmas Eve I was thinking "wanna run" and Christmas Day Evening (if that makes sense!) I was dripping blood in the bathroom for the best part of 30 mins. Worse nose bleed in literally months. I was even starting to think a trip to A&E may be called for. I wasn't happy and had a headache after that. Then during the night I got cramp in my calf so today I ain't running either ... grrrrrr.

Still it's almost 2006 and then the pants year will be over!

Enjoy your pressies folks!!

I always say "New Year, New Start, blah blah blah" But I have to be honest... I think this year (2005) although it's been pretty shite... it's not been as bad as it could have been (in comparison to previous years). So having said that... although I'm really happy right now and where I want to be in life... it does make me look forward with trepidation and kind of a little edge of nervousness. I s'pose you have to get used to stuff *not* happening to get used to life being ordinary. So for me... I'm just hoping for an ordinary 2006. That's all. Don't want no bells and whistles. Just a plain old boring year for me will do. No illness, no injury, no ups and downs.

:o)

well I now have a stinking cold!
I did this time last year too - I missed Helsby because of it, but that was a really bad bad cough too.

So folks here's to a healthy, injury free 2006!

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...
