Don't You Just Hate it ...

when work upsets your plans!

We have a client coming into the office today so no munchtime run which in hindsight is probably a good thing!

Got up for my swim today, about 15mins late. So in the pool later than hoped.

Sat on pool side to sort out new goggles and OMG I can see! It's amazing! I can tell the time and see the other people in the pool! Amazing!

When I first started to run I always went off too fast. I've slowly learnt to do the first mile slower. Seems that this habit needs to be learnt in the pool too!

I had noticed my first 50m seemed faster and today was no different. Which meant that the first 16lengths (400m) became a time trial. Time: 10:45! Was amazed! Was knackered!

I total today I was in the pool for about 40mins, but only swam for about 30mins. Part of the reason for this was I kept on stopping to adjust goggles (altering straps!) and partly because I was tired. The last few lengths were awful! I had aimed to do a mile seeing as I wasn't running but 1km was all I managed. Too tired so opted for a longer shower instead!

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!?!
