The Things We Do Hey?!

Memories ...

Saturday's walk ... heel ... tad sore ... failure.

TW2003 ... wet ... cold ... no energy ... failure ... hurt ... TW2006 is Personal!

This is why today at 9.40 I went to see the Dr.

V-Rap had said I should get my heel jabbed. By Saturday night I totally agreed. TW is personal. I am going to have to finish it. I want that medal, I want to slay that damn dragon and say WE DID IT!

So off I go, half hoping for strong drugs to see me through and the reassurance that a jab was not needed! Billed as "probably the most painful injection you can have ... even with a local" pills sounded better!

I walked in and the Dr smiled "so are you going to chicken out then?". I recalled the slight ache last night and this morning that had reminded me why I was here. Yep I had to do it.

I lay on the bed and grinned! The Dr prodded and then he "did it". The Dr "fanned" the jab to try and cover as many of the sore bits as possible. He would move and say "does it hurt here?" my little eeek and gasps gave him the answer he needed. Several stabs later with my urge to bite my tongue and it was over.

So since that time I have rested up, feet raised with a tingling slightly numb leg. The drugs have been taken as advised and I wait now to find out if this has worked. Dr did advise that he could do it again in 2wks if needed, if he didn't "get it all". Lets hope it does!!

Roll on TW!

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...
