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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
