Random Rants and a Hug


<- Leon sent me a hug! Just what I needed! Today I have had many "if"s going through my head and "thank god"s and "it could have been so much worse..." The forumites went to the pub post race and I declined wanting to get home. Now if I had gone I wouldn't have been on the stretch on the M1 when that car was there. If I hadn't got my entry in on time .... the list goes on. I keep on finding new aches and you start to wonder if they are real. I woke up this morning and it was a case of "right, aches below waist are running above waist are car ... now what hurts?!" My calves are tight and my left heel does seem to be bruised but I don't think the PB caused any further damage! The car is still outside the house - everytime I open the front door it's there. All lopsided and looking sorry for itself. I keep looking over it and thinking "I am so lucky" The pictures of the car below don't really show what happened.

Ok so I'm the blue car ... green car moves out, I swerve and follow the red line. The crash barrier was on a verge. The car has mud all on the wheels where it smashed into the crash barrier and pushed that literally 4-5ft. The crash barrier is what caused the damage as I hit no other vehicle and then I stopped back end in the hard shoulder front end in the carriageway.


The final turn where I came to a stop was on 2 wheels, and you can see the rim of the wheels are bent right up and the tyres are flat.

The AA would only take the car off the M1 it was Green Flag (through e-sure) who took me home.

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

Back Fecked

Today has been an exciting one! Wake up and take 20mins to get to the bathroom which is en suite! By this time I am in tears with a cold sweat and feeling nausious. Gnome had to help make breakfast and I had a yoghurt as that involved no bending down for cereal or bowl! Walked Gnome to school - normally 15mins today over 20mins; it's half a mile. Took me 20mins to walk home alone after. Called Drs. Appointment 1 with Dr about back @10:40. I have inflammed back muscles, a large packet of high strength prescription on anti-inflamatories and advice to go back if no better by Tuesday/Wednesday. Oh and that I can self certify sickness for 7 days "work will be very uncomfortable if you work at a PC all day" Yep this is true 5mins here is enough! Appointment 2 @11:25 (I didn't bother leaving!) for nose zapping. Back too sore to notice if nose hurt but now the anesthetic has worn of it hurts!! So I'm feeling just FAB today! Running - err me finks not!
