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?

and..

problem is Bear that club aren'r replying to my mail! Not sure if this is personal or not! I haven't gone back as I'm too slow and feel awkward. Maybe they aren't the idea club but they are the nearest one and affiliated!!
SNG at least I haven't be lured by Benz to do an ultra like you!!

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).

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Munchtime Run

Woke up feeling "coldy" ... tender throat, tired and headache. Decided the headache was due to lack of drink the night before as I was talking to Duck for 90mins! So had some paracetomol and drink and packed my kit! My reasoning being that even if it was a cold it was not "on my chest" so no harm in running and anyway the fresh air would do my head good! Spent most of the morning feeling pants too. Headache has still there despite drink and drugs but I had my kit so off I went.1.2m in and the batteries on my GPS died! This meant it was me and the smog filled roads and my watch. As I alter my route slightly every run (so I don't compare splits!) I didn't really know the distance or pace. I did know that when I got to the Ford garage that the office was just over 1m away and I had about 13mins left when I got there. Problem was that it wasn't much further before my legs said "you are having a laugh!" and I started to flag. As I knew I was having ...
