Training Smart

Ok so the beginning of this week was far from sensible what with me getting far to enthusiastic about tri training! But looking forward I mean!

I've done 4 training sessions this week now as I have just come back from an excuse for a run. The three days off had been three in a row - not ideal really!

Anyway my run ... only 3.4m and very slow. Started of great, jog for 1/2m to warm up then a good run to the mile marker, then walk run to the end. Getting slower as my legs still seem tired. Not sure if this is the early training or the fact it's my longest running week (no really!) since Reading or if there is an underlying lurgy!

Hubby has 2 late shifts this week and Friday we (as in Duck and I!) are off to Brum for the Wales walk. As a result of all these factors I have decided to be sensible this next week!

I'm going to taper! Lots of stretching and maybe a few light weights and a couple of short walks but that's it. I know this will impact on my Nessie Challenge (mind you I haven't swum this week :-( which is bad seeing as I am paying for it!) but if my legs are tired now and I do too much then Wales will be harder.

Wales is a proper team training for the TrailWalker so needs to be taken seriously, and so I will taper.

See I can be sensible!

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!?!
