Having To Do A Fraggle ...

Gnome is poorly ick and it's not a pretty sight. Poor lad has red swollen eyes, puffy face and snotty nose. Is hardly eating and can only drink water. He's temperature is up and he is also sleeping a lot. There is no way he is at school tomorrow! Good job daddy is on holiday! He may even be taken to see the Dr tomorrow as there is a flu bug hitting kids in the Midlands just now.

All this means I have done bugger and all this weekend well this week actually! I've done 1 5K run and that's it! I think the 80m for Feb needs to be revised because A I ain't done nowt and B Feb is a short month! I have, however, done the fizzio's exercises!

Next Friday I am off to camp which means I can't do loads this week otherwise I will be exhausted at camp. So what I will do is 1-2 30 mins runs at work and a few walks too. Friday I will also be taking hubby to collect the Ka which he hopes to drive on Saturday with Gnome to see the family. Here's hoping Gnome is alright for then!

This is what we did today - distraction therapy!

Hope Gnome feels better soon, my eldest was off school all last week with heavy cold which wiped her out making her stay in bed sniffing and coughing. It would seem there is a 'bug' going round most schools at the moment:0(

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...

Smiley Happy Pixie!

I've been for a run!!! Yep it's true! Well back was fine after driving and doing the shopping ysterday as well as mowing the lawn. I watched the GNR and was jealous I wasn't running so ... I did 40mins of solid running .... longest solid run since Feb! Back fine - only niggle is shoulder from the ouch this morning when I was taking my tablets! No idea why! Felt really good and pace was much better than I expected .... not run for 10 days now! So 3.424m in 40:17 av pace 11:44mm (11.39,11.57,11.39,11.51) very happy! Really enjoyed it and really pleased! So back to training next week (and work). Tomorrow will be 50mins of walk run with a long run in the middle. Wednesday speedwork on the tready and Friday 40mins solid on the tready as hubby has to go to work early. Leaving a long run at the weekend. Fingers crossed!
