Wibble Yeah Not!

That's right I am not allowed to wibble! No stress or worry or anything! Just nice calm positive thoughts because after all this is just a training run!

Today at work it has been very quiet despite half the team not being in! Which has meant I've been bored and also thinking about Sunday! That be the training run I have on Sunday!

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and encouragement!

Tonight hubby had to be in work for 6 which has meant a long evening with Gnome. He's now in bed and I'm alone. I've just rechecked all my blog friends and Fraggle's tugged at my heart.

I'm now sat down with my sketchpad trying to copy a photo.

The photo was taken a good 20+ year ago. My parents had recently got married and it was Christmas. I had been a bridesmaid and was very proud of my parasol. Grandad had drunk a couple of Harvey Bristol Creams and had fallen asleep under my parasol! It's a wonderful happy picture with happy memories and I can see him now as if it was only yesterday. I miss him.

So I'm trying to draw this picture and I think my aim will be to do this again and again until it's good enough to give to Grandma!

I'm no artist but I am more comfortable trying to copy a picture than starting of with plain inanimate objects! I started a picture of one of our old dogs the other day too! I just hope that I can do something half decent for Grandma as I think she would appreciate it more than a shop bought gift and I will enjoy it too!

I've been reading various web sites and books and I am trying my best - I'm starting off by drawing the negative images, the bits outside the picture as this makes you think more and watch what you are drawing they are not shapes you know! Well that's the theory! It should pass a while and allow me to rest and wind down for my early night!

Tomorrow is a plodette, hairdressers, library, Sainsbury and possibly a Gnome swim and an early restless night!!

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!!
