Splish, Splash, Splosh!

Well another week has begun and it is now offically British Summer Time so it's raining!

Woke up this morning and dragged my butt out of bed and down to the pool. As I didn't run yesterday I am doing a double today and tomorrow.

My normal pre-work swim is 40lengths followed by a cuppa tea (travel mug made up before I leave home!) and a dash to work. Today I get there, do my 40lengths thinking about technique not time. Climb out, shower and start to change. I then noticed the time. It seems I have improved so much now that I could have had a further 5+ mins in the pool! Doh!!

Drove to work in pouring rain and it looked like my lunchtime trot would be an evening tready run. A chap at work is leaving today and brings in a tonne of choc and I sat there salivating! Phew the ran has stopped! Looks like a 30mins trot and if it's good a small bit of choc perhaps??!!

Oh and for those lurking and Benz - I AM NOT DOING TRI!!

Lunchtime Update:
Well as I am doing a double today I grabbed my kit and went for a slow trot. Last time I did an AM swim and lunchtime run I crashed and burned despite ideal weather for running! Today it was drizzley and windy and I managed 2.7m in 35mins with just stopping for roads so much better! The wind was strong and I think that slowed me down but can't say for sure! The legs were very tired by the end so lord help me at Reading!! LOL!

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!?!
