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!

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...

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...
