The Way Ahead

Well hmm what can I say!
Ok lets try this ...

Fitness - overall levels good but as always could be better!
Weight - huh not going anywhere :-(
Health - yep all fine and dandy!

So I am forming a plan.

Over the years I have come to realise I love food, eat for comfort and emotional reasons and to date have not found the cure to allow me to eat less and lose weight.

I have plenty of running goals ... faster times etc.

So why not try and combine them all. They say that the more you train the more you want to eat healthy so ....

I may not be good at controlling the number of calories I take in but I can control those being used. I'm going to up my training.

This means I get fitter and healthier and even if I don't drop into the healthy eating eat for fuel thing it's not bad. As nurse said I am healthy!

As a connected issue I still have no idea about this club Tri ... not sure if "springs" is Champney Springs and there is no time just cost! So I'm going to climb onto the Bollox To It train!

Then take a HUGE gulp.

Check my bank account.

Wibble ..... and if I have £28 by the end of the month I am entering the Concorde Tri!

I'm at my mum's that weekend anyway so no extra jounrney.

Gives me a goal to aim for and time to train properly.

I have to swim, bike and run so extra training and mixed training with new muscles being used etc.

This plan means at least 6 sessions a week (2 for each) so that's an increase in training.

Who knows it may also be the kick I need for weight lose and improve my running. I think it is VERY VERY unlikely that it will make a pirate of me mind!!

Whatever works Pix - if the variety gets you more motivated to train, then great.

If you enjoy the club tri, find the £28 and do Concorde - can't be that strapped for cash surely?

Don't know if you're into buying books about training, pix, but 'The Complete Guide to Endurance Training' by Jon Ackland published by A&C Black is superb. It covers all the main endurance sports, covers theories about training, gives sample programmes for beginners up to elite, shows how to do your own, has advice on fuelling etc etc. Get someone to buy it for you as a pressie (or get cheap copy on Amazon).

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!?!
