So that's that then ...

yes that's it, the dragon is dead and I have NO REASON TO GO BACK!

I think I may have found my mojo in the Dragon's grave mind. Today I did two short walks to the village (walking the long way home too) and a 4m walk tonight so about 6m walking in total.

I'm already planning a 12m walk/run fing early Saturday too (when hubby is at work). Swim tomorrow maybe a walk? I just suddenly want to do things!!

On TW I learnt several things ... Pixie CAN do hills (just hates them!), I learnt what HUNGER feels like and "I don't want food" as well as how to eat slowly and properly chew my food. These are lessons I hope to remember ... I've seen the TW pics and my arse is HUMUNGOUS! Need to get rid of that! The shorts rubbing on hot sweaty legs also told me to shift some ballast! As is the sudden desire to trash my half PB and marafun PB!

Problem is I'm now thinking ... do I really want to do a tri now? What do I want most? The "I've done a tri!" feeling (as I know I won't convert to tri or do an IM) or is it the "running down those hills was fun ... I felt like a runner... I was running fast (ish!)... cool!!" feeling I want more?

I need to sort that and make sure my legs are up to the strain of a tri before I enter! They feel tired and my toe is sore (think blister under the nail) and walking hurts my toe just now so running ... hmm not sure! As for cycling on weak tired quads??? Who knows, if not this year maybe next.

The two aren't mutually exclusive Pix - personaly I think you'll have fun at Concorde, and some variety in training is something I felt made me train more often, and it will help your running.

Or if you don't fancy an official tri, keep doing some swimming and stuff for variety.

Or give Concorde a go and make your mind up after you've done one :o)

not wishing to push you either, but there aren't that many places left at Concorde, so you're going to have to decide asap

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...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
