Rest Day!

I didn't want that running to become habit did I!!

So today was a rest day ... and I slept funny last night so have a slight twinge at the front of my hip so not a bad thing!

Back at work today after a long break over Christmas and within 30mins I was annoyed, before lunchtime I was threatening to murder someone and doing my best to resist a food pig out!

So at lunch I went shopping:
  • scales - free thanks to Nectar
  • learn to draw box set - my Christmas present to me! Want to do a picture for Grandma's birthday or Christmas!!
  • RW - cos I'm famous!
  • 90 Day Success Diary - probably a waste of money! McKenna again but I WILL use it to lose at least 1st in the 3mths!

AND

  • no nibbles
  • no other mags with free stuff on the front (put 2 down!)
  • been to the bank too (paid in Christmas money that almost pays for my camp!!)

Am calmer now!

For lunch I had my veggie bean stew (that's was just the right temperature having been nuked at 8!) using my new food flask I bought before Christmas - looks like that will be great for lunchtime runs!

It's now 2:30 and I am STUFFED and calm. Mainly calm due to headphones and loud music!

Tomorrow I run!

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...
