Tuesday - lunchtime trot

Well I decided yesterday's belly problems were caused by too much fruit! See you do your best to get the 5-a-day and it back fires so to speak! Belly was doing summersaults until 9 so tea was toast and marmite at 9:30!

Good news is I have now lost 3lb since Christmas, through a combination of maintaining my exercise and being more aware of my food intake. This has been mainly in a "will not stress and eat, will remain calm!" sense! If I can lose 1lb this week I will be at my lightest since moving (11st which I did for abut 1wk this time last year before I got injured!) and that would be fab! I want to be at 10st7lb for Reading which is less that 1lb a week so should be easy.

Anyway today I will be trotting at lunchtown round the lovely (coughs loudly) Loughborough! Will report back to teacher later!!

Sunday Legs
Well I've been for my run and my legs reminded me of my longer run on Sunday but somehow they worked! HR was up because of Sunday too.

Anyway good news .. used the same tactic as I plan to use Sunday and it seems fine. I did 4.2m today in 50:44 which is a smidge over 12mm pace. If I get near that Sunday I will be over the moon but that's not the idea! Sunday is a training run(said loudly so coach realises I am listening!) and is a training run for Reading!

Trotted down the canal and back and got covered in mud splashes from cyclist and small puddles! Still it gets me out of the office and in the fresh air and makes me nice and calm to face the afternoon ahead!

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...

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 (...

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
