All Quiet on the Western Front!

Nothing to report!

No exercise, no weight loss, no new kit ... in fact no nothing!

The weather has drained me; can't sleep properly yet really tired! Or maybe that's because I am also not exercising?

Since the stabbing I have stopped constant drug taking (last full day was Saturday) and Sunday I was fine, walked 3m with little to report. The last 2 days at work I have noticed it. Yesterday I put it down to foot wear (summer sandals with heel) and by lunch I was sore. Today it got sore later in the day but I was wearing my frees. Is this being on my feet more, walking about the office and not having my feet raised in the "feet up watch TV"pose? Or boredom at work making things more noticeable? Not sure! V-Rap says it could still be settling in (up to 10days) and if it has not settled by the end of the week have it re-stabbed Monday! Gulp!

TrailWalker is close! Fetch says 10 days! OMG!! So close!

The organisation mails are flying. The panic as to what to wear/take/eat is edging closer! All I know is this - maps/directions/route are for Leon and V-Rap!! Support - Bear is the support meister and with Fraggle and RobW there too we have no worries! So it's just a case of left right left right and keep going!

The TW is followed by a 3 day course for work (and hotel accommodation at The Cavern!!) so my report will be delayed but I am looking forward to this! V-Rap is also VERY aware as to how personal this is to Duck and I and I am sure that she will do everything in her power to get us our medals! Not that we will have any problems!! Wibble!!

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 ...
