Day 2!

Morning! Yes it's 2nd Jan already! Where does the year go!! hehe

Anyway I have an extra task for this year that I forgot to mention yesterday, and that is to complete my training log regardless as to how pathetic it looks! I've missed about 3-4mths on my Fetch one for 2005 due to injury etc and stopped using the David Hays excel one too so I don't have a very good or clear idea as to what I did last year! So this year it will be done!

My main aim is to lose weight hence the link below each post! I want to track my calorie intake and this free tool looks good only I haven't actually used it in anger yet! But the calorie usage is good as that makes me feel better when I've done hardly anything!

I'm going to be much more aware of what I eat and aim to eat less (haha). Thought I would start the new year with a formal weigh in yesterday and the result was .... 10st 13lb or 11st 6lb or 11st 4lb or indeed just 6lb! I think 11st4lb is about right! Will be buying new scales this week!

One thing I have done on and off these last few weeks is listen to a Paul McKenna CD which is called "I can make you thin" which is good but you need to listen to it consistently! (Ask Nessie! Mr Nessie and her have lost weight using it.) Sky One has a new 6 weeks series by him on weight lose starting next Monday at 9pm so I will record/watch that too!

Oh and discovered yesterday one of the reason for getting sores after a run .... my chest strap on my HRM (which was a new replacement April time) is broken! Grrrrr. So will be calling the shop (down in Berkshire!) tomorrow for a moan!

PS does anyone know what this is??? I want to move it if I can so I can make a path there to a water butt (all great plans hey!)

Damn you are good Beanz! That was one of the BBC options but I thought I would ask you clever lot!
So I can move it can I? Looks like I have 3 of them!

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!!
