Facts and Figures

Having consulted those who have gadgets (yes I was gadget free yesterday!) it seems that the mile markers at Reading were a bit wrong! Mile 5 was short and mile 6 long (the 6m marker was 6.25m according to Speedy G!) for example.

Anyway regardless of this I knew I did better yesterday! Looking at the stats it seems the wheels feel off at the same place despite this time training to 4m and training to 8m for BM!

You can see where my stomach was cramping (think it was lack of fitness as I have used SIS and lucozade before now like at FLM).

Interestingly Reading is more undulating than BM with a long hill at 2m and 7m and I walked for 2.5mins after the 6m marker as there was a hillock there too. Yet still I was doing good times! I'm amazed!

I can now say with 100% conviction that the swimming and pool running has made me fitter! It's improved my CV fitness no end! Just look at those stats! Yes I am slow but hey I had hardly run and still I managed a PB!

I am so pleased!! Unfortunately I have also pigged out last weekend and since so the scales will be laughing again so back to work I go! Yes this does mean swimming and running!! I think I will keep that up for some time to come!!

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!?!
