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!!

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

Smiley Happy Pixie!

I've been for a run!!! Yep it's true! Well back was fine after driving and doing the shopping ysterday as well as mowing the lawn. I watched the GNR and was jealous I wasn't running so ... I did 40mins of solid running .... longest solid run since Feb! Back fine - only niggle is shoulder from the ouch this morning when I was taking my tablets! No idea why! Felt really good and pace was much better than I expected .... not run for 10 days now! So 3.424m in 40:17 av pace 11:44mm (11.39,11.57,11.39,11.51) very happy! Really enjoyed it and really pleased! So back to training next week (and work). Tomorrow will be 50mins of walk run with a long run in the middle. Wednesday speedwork on the tready and Friday 40mins solid on the tready as hubby has to go to work early. Leaving a long run at the weekend. Fingers crossed!
