Preparation

Today I have my kit bag beside me at work which means I can't stress eat or I will get a sore belly when I run!

I also have a new HRM strap!!!

Plus a flask of hot soup (with left over pasta mixed in) for a post freezing cold lunchtime run meal - I think it will be required as it was damn cold out there when I walked into the office!!

I will report back later, 50mins so hopefully 3.5-4m if legs are playing ball!!

Lunchtime Update

Well run is down, jumper on, heating on, soup consummed and I'm freezing cold!!!!

It was a tad cold out there to say the least!

I very nearly didn't go out as it was cold when I walked in and I really wasn't feeling inspired but I thought I should really run so I did.

Amazingly I did over 4m!! Yep 4.25m in 51:26 (includes time to cross roads) so I am delighted! Exhausted and I know I couldn't keep that pace up beyond an hour but given my lack of training of late I am delighted!



I did also notice my lower back was aching .... so had to conciously maintain posture which highlights the need for core exercises as if I didn't already know!!

Anyways happy pixie!

Even splits at 12 min miles - consistency - that's what's important Pixel.

Well done Pix

More miles than you had expected to do - and in the same time frame...

Nice one

Core - you were right it was freezing yesterday. Read the articlae in the wife's RW this week so yes you are famous (spurred me on a bit I think to take a deeper look into blogging!).

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

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...

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
