What Happened Next!

Well not done much since yesterday's potter and will not be doing anything today! The weekend won't be so quiet mind!

Good Friday:
Hopefully a long swim in the morning, followed by a potter in the garden, a bath and an afternoon/evening/night at the Cavern! I shall be spending some wonderful time with Bear, Leon, V-Rap, Mava and whoever else may invade!!
Saturday:
Home! Gardening (apple tree to plant!) Wine/food Bed!
Sunday:
Anniversary meal out (12yrs!) at lunchtime so I doubt if anything will get done!! later!
Easter Monday:
Hubby starts work at 6AM so I have a 15-16m TW training walk planned!!

Oh and yes Bear the weight does seem to have increased (it is in line with the WW measurements) and I have no idea as to why, well I do but not as much as it has done! Hopefully it will plummet next week!

hmmmm..... well as the afternoon wore on something made me start thinking about running. So when I got home, I changed and off I went! Felt great! Legs were back! Happy pixie! Then I turned the corner a full 1min after I had left and ran straight into a wall of wind! The route went uphill at this part and over the A42 and the wind was so strong I was being pushed across the path and had to walk. I hoped as I went round a corner the wind would improve but no.

When I could run (very short distances!) I was between 10.5 and 11.5mm pace then the wind would hit me again. I was soon tired and heavy legged so headed home. It was a short but pleasant if somewhat windswept run! Well walk! A massive 2.4m in 34mins! A few seconds faster than yesterday.

Looks like Reading too a whole lot more out of me than I figured!

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!?!

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
