When You're Tired ...

so tired you cancel a training session and worry about falling to sleep driving home ... when you are that tired (like I was yesterday) you must do what comes natural.

So what did I do?

Sleep?
Watch TV?
Lay in the garden listening to the birds?
Have a long soaky bath?

Nope! I went for a 5.5m walk! Well that's Pixie Logic for you! I'm sure it makes sense somehow or somewhere

So yes, yesterday I did a 1hr 40 mins Mini TW training session. Leon had told me to use old/comfy trainers so I slipped into my saucony off road shoes and light walking socks. I also donned me lovely new Pink Camelbak with lots of water (for weight) and a SIS Chocolate Orange Go! Bar.

Twas a nice sunny evening just right for a walk. Bit faster than TW pace at 18mm ave but you do shorter quicker runs so why not walks!

Got home and had some nice warming homemade soup again, then a bath where I examined the blister gained from wearing nice comfy trainers! Grrrr Fanks Leon!!

Not weighed myself again and I am trying to get into or out of the habit of weighing loads! Since last weekends mamouth walk I have been tired and eaten anything that can be eaten that isn't tied down! To be honest I think I just need to go with the flow until after TW and after I have recovered from TW! No point building myself up for failure!!

Oh and I CBA to get enough motivation for that 5m race but I HAVE entered the HydroActive 5K in Brum in September so I will have to get training for that! PB is 34:20, did a couple of 33mins runs last year so who knews!!

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...
