Not run at all 6 weeks!
Total run time 34hrs

Not bad!
Need to get back to running mind! Maintain the swimming and get more consistency in there!

Pixie, this has been a long time in coming. When you take account of the things you have achieved rather than the things you haven't - you see that in fact, you've done bloody well. In addition to that you hold down a full-time job AND you look after a family too. I have enough time looking after just me, let alone anything else.

Plans are good yes... but please allow yourself (and your life) a degree of flexibility and don't get upset when things change and you don't achieve the things you want. The biggest thing I did which has set me forwards this year is stopping racing. The release from the pressure has been really unbelievable. Try not to set your expectations of yourself TOO high. I'm not saying don't expect great things... not at all. Just don't be too hard on yourself. You're an athlete in training, a mother and a professional. You have enough to deal with without beating yourself up for stuff!

(((hugs)))

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!?!
