Tired But Happy

Today has been a good day. Today I have felt tired in the "I've worked hard" way but not achy ouch so good!

I've started drinking more water which I hope to keep up, I guess I drank a good 1.5l at work today.

Tonight I went for a swim as I didn't want to run (after all I did at the weekend!) but didn't want to do nothing!! So 20 lengths (no more as right knee was niggly - will tell this to fizzio tomorrow) and then 20mins of shallow end jogging with a few squats thrown in just to watch the faces of those around! During this time I did also ponder the purchase of an aquajogger for times of injury, cross training etc.

After a visit to Tesco and food I then found myself not only doing the fizzio exercises but all the stretches from camp! Problem is I am now a tad tired so off to bed I go!

Oh one final thing - I'm not sure if I have mentioned it but my left heal has been tender in a bruised like fashion. Having done some reading (and yes I will check with fizzio tomorrow!) I think I have a minor problem with my plantar fisywhatsit! Reading also says: stretch more as tight calves are not good, move more as desk jobs are not good, lose weight as being overweight is not good. So I will speak to fizzio tomorrow about all my aches and pains and see what he says. The fact that weight is mentioned and massage lady at camp said weight is not good for tight calves and I want a GFA does all point to one thing ... must lose weight.

Anyway bed calling!! Cya!

I had a touch of PF some time ago - one thing that helped was to get a ramp thing for under the desk to rest my feet at the right angle - work should provide that under H&S or somesuch

mine is an adjustable one, don't settle for a rigid one

as your legs aren't in the gingerloon class, you probably don't sit with them at the right angle!

what angle should that be??
I have to have the chair high enough to be comfy at the PC which means my feet don't happily touch the ground so I do have a sort of foot rest
Also trying the tennis ball thing to stretch the PF as that is what Louise said at camp when I had my massage

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

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th
