New Toy on Order

I got an Aqua Jogger!
Why you may ask .... well following a long chat with Aim High! which included me mailing pictures of my foot (!) and sitting down prodding foot as we chatted. As well as seeing the ladies in Running Fox. As well as surfing the net. As well as calling fizzio. As well as searching RW it seems that I have to admit I do havePF.

Reading is in 7wks so I have to maintain my fitness and not sulk! Having already missed 3mths on sofa watch after BM I have already lost fitness and my sub 2:30 seems to be slipping away before I got to give it a chance!

I've decided it it the FLM Demon. 1St proper running injury was training for FLM04. Second proper running injury was training for FLM05. Now I say I am aiming for a GFA and that this year is my base to that plan and I get PF. So No More FLM! I am not even going to mention it and then maybe I can train injury free!

I may also stop running in Jan/Feb as that has been when I have been injured each time!!

Hope to get new toy Wednesday!!

Coach Spans used an aquajogger, and it didn't seem to do her any harm :oD

Let me know how it goes - I might get one

susie your comment worries me slightly but I will report back!
Bear got mine from Start Fitness and including express delivery it was still cheaper than everywhere else without delivery
Will I am trying to be positive - been here before. Maybe I would be less injury prone if I lost weight?
Wyn (is it OK to call you that?!) I hope you are right!! Gnome might even get to play too for a laugh as he doesn't like floating so it may give him more confidence!

My Li'l Sis used one for ages during one of her many injury-periods, and she waxes lyrical about the benefit she got from it!!!!

Sounds like an excellent 'toy' to have Pix
:o)

hy Pix, bummer about the PF but agree that the new toy looks great. i'd be really interested in hearing how big a waist it caters for - i'd like to get one but not sure if it would fit round my more than ample middle :o(

hope you can get your foot sorted soon

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!
