Review Of 2005

I know it is early but hey!

So this year I have had:


  • a stress fracture (2-3mths off running)
  • loadsa colds
  • loadsa nosebleeds
  • knackered back (2-3wks off running)
  • food poisoning/reaction (this week!)

I finish 2005:

  • approx same weight as I started
  • approx same speed as I started
  • approx same distance for long runs as I started

So for 2006 I will be:

  • healthier! Number of colds need to be reduced!
  • fitter! So longer runs
  • faster!
  • lighter! Will aid with the getting fitter and faster!

On the bright side: (updated for Beanz!)

  • only 2mths off with SF could have been a lot longer
  • 1 week family holiday in EuroDisney
  • gained weight and lost weight
  • got a great physio
  • got a great sport massage ouchy painfull lady
  • got an ENT appointment for bloody (yes pun was intended!) nose next Monday
  • I COMPLETED THE FLORA LONDON MARATHON!!
  • I GOT A NEW MARATHON PB!!

and

IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!

So to follow on from what Womble said I have thought up the following!

That's super, Pix!!! What you also need to do is build in review points so you can check progress and adjust as necessary. Well done on spotting that 28lb is only 1/2 lb a week (or ~2lb a month). Very achievable. Re: weight loss, I would suggest that you'll probably lose more quickly to start with and then plateau or stop losing. That's when your review comes in handy.

Good luck!!!!!

Well 5 fruit and veg really but yes 5 small meals a day is supposed to be better than 3 anyway as it maintains better blood sugar levels that normally result in snack attacks!

Pixel, have you read all the low GI books? I'm a real believer in it as a way of eating.

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

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 (...

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
