Add Swimming To The List!!

Of activities when I have had for no reason a nose bleed!!

10 mins into yesterday's swim. I stop for a drink and as I prepare to start again I look down and see a splodge appear on my cossie! So I climb out get some tissue from the life guard and despite my better judgement confirmed that the nose bleed just happened and that it wasn't because someone bashed me! Kids everywhere on floats/rafts and giant inflatable rings making lengths difficult. Roll on 6 when the lanes would appear!!

Being a serious aflete and all that once my nose stopped I carried on! 66 lengths in total bring my Nessie Challenge total to 210!

As always I had the mental battle of "Oh you are weaker now you've had that bleed why not stop!" Followed by "Lying sod you're fine shut up and carry on!". So carry on I did.

Last night despite being the hottest day this year I was cold ... not sure if this is related in anyway but I'm fine today!.

Today I will be using my running kit! Not so much because I want to run fast now but because I want to get back into running.

Swimming is great for CV fitness and I am enjoying it now. It also is great for cross training and if I did consider a tri then I need to swim!! The swimming fitness will help both running and the TW too. Also because I am swimming longer I am getting the endurance in too, you know the "stop!" "No carry on!" thing!!

My aim is to get the legs used to pottering again maybe 2-3 times a week, perhaps with the odd double with swimming. Then after TW to train for running. Still swimming as mentioned above butu increase runs to 3 then 4 sessions.

Will see what Spans says!!!

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!?!
