Define with Google!

I had a great heading for today! Watched a children's art program with Gnome yesterday and they were making wet pictures and added a word to enhance the wet look! It was a great word and sounded nice and wet and defined what the picture was like!

Out of interested I did a define in Google and found out that this innocent word is infact relating to being wet but not in the rain! Think more of the err smutty side of damp and wet!! I won't say anymore!!

Anyway the heading was to imply that it was wet and damp out side and I was going puddle jumping at lunch! It also linked into the 90mins Gnome swim yesterday which involbed us both trying to dive in!

Lunchtime Edit.....

Unstructured Structured Speedwork!

Totally unstructured speedwork session and also totally unexpected!
1st mile was slow but too fast for a 1st mile after not much running meaning my calves ached and hurt!
then I just start running
allowed the GPS time to work out pace
looked at pace
stay within that bracket until next walking post (e.g. if it said 10:50 I had to stay I the 10s!)
when legs start saying walk, I ran past next stop until the one after that again staying within bracket!
That way I did 2 or 3 in the 9's!!
and one finished at 8:40!
walks were 30-60secs I guess
heart and lungs fine it was legs saying walk
really pleased
again overall time not fast as I was walking but fastest average pace since Reading!

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

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...
