Tick Tock ... Tick Tock

The clock is ticking! Just look up there above this post and you can see it!

Not long now!

Down to single figures!

TW fever is reaching a fever pitch!

When I need reminding why I am doing it I read Meerkat's reports for 2004 and 2005!!

The team now includes V-Rap and this will be her 4th TW! Do we really need a map??

Meerkat really highlights the emotions well. I got all excited and nervous and anxious and everything just reading them! I could see the checkpoints in my minds eye! I could feel the atmosphere! I so want to get on and do this! I WANT my medal!!! (and curry!) We WILL slay that dragon!

In the meantime I am wibbling about my heel (sure that's in my head!) and "stuff"!! Forming long lists of "stuff to take" and "stuff to wear" and today my mailbox has been stuffed to the rafters with TW chatter! Who is driving whom from where? Who has tents? Who wants what to eat? .......

Saturday I am off ice-skating with Gnome, V-Rap and the raptors as well as Leon and his sprogs!! So with 3 of the team there ... bubble wrap anyone??

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...

Planning Ahead

Right well this is the start of my week's plan! Tomorrow I will do test run on the tready afterwork which means I can easily stop if not right. Thursday I have the Christmas play to watch! Sunday I WILL GET UP EARLY and do a 2hr run! Problem is driving along thinking about where to run isn't a good idea when it's 5:30 rush hour traffic home! I've still not got my route planned. 2hrs will be 9+m I think and I don't really want to hit the main roads, much rather potter about on the back roads and the trail, I just don't know them so don't know which roads are safe to run on! Me finks I may do a detor on the way to work tomorrow!! hehe
