Good Aches

After yesterday's outstanding run (even if I say so myself!) my legs are achy today. Not sore or stiff just that good "You've worked" ache. So today I rest! Instead of a lunchtime run I am off to have my eyes tested - not quiet so athletic!!

Plan for rest of week is:
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Speed work on tready. This will be warm up then a pyramid with 1 min recoveries of 3,5,7,5,3 followed by 4 sets of 30secs hard 30 recovery and a cool down. Isn't my coach just lovely to me!!
Thursday will be rest again!
Friday will be a 50mins run at lunchtime and hopefully I can continue with the recent form and do another 4m!
Saturday I'm off to see the lovely V-Rap and a gaggle of other forumites and associated children with Gnome! So that will be total chaos but fun! Then Saturday evening we are off out for a meal as it is hubby's birthday on Monday.
That leaves just Sunday and what are Sundays for .... yep long runs! Last long run before BM!!

But today I rest ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

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!!
