Short and Sweet

Another Double!
Lunchtime - 5K in 37:59
Really delighted with this as I only did 30secs more than yesterday but 0.6m further! Felt really good, breathing as about normal, nose still snotty (but hey!) and HR lower than I would normally have for this run and only 5% higher than yesterday. 12.43,12.15,11.50 plus a bit for splits.
The sun was out, the sky was blue and the daffs were trying to come out! Great run - it's days like this that remind you why we run and why we love it!
Magic!

Evening - 1m swim in 52:30 (new PB)
Had a meeting at work, felt shitty so decided to change my gentle swim into 50-60 easy lengths up to an hour. Pool was busy with kids messing about but I kept going. Stronger than yesterday too which felt good but still not as I was pre-lurgy. 50lengths in 41mins! So I decided to go for the mile (64lengths) and ended up with a PB by 7.5mins! So again delighted!

Not sure what tomorrow will bring. Either a rest/walk day or lunchtime trot. It's parent's evening and I have the school run to do so no swimming. Friday is the swimathon (so no run) and I am fine about that now! Hope we get a medal! It will be so cool to have a swimming medal!

Oh BTW Reading is just 17 days away! Gulp!

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

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
