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

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
