Two Sleeps!!!

Well I slept OK last night but I was tired (started to doze whilst watching Big Cat Diary which was annoying as I like that!). I think that the tiredness is related to tapering and lack of exercise due to heel stabbing (and heat!). I am now starting to think things like "oh a nice run down the canal would be nice!" but mind replies "Don't wear out legs this close to TW!" so I'm just walking round town at lunch instead! Heel is now behaving, hardly notice anything so I am guessing the jab has settled down and is doing it's stuff

Already thinking ahead! At v-rap's next week due to course so maybe a gentle walk (feed the duck's with the kids?) but nothing serious! Then Thursday and Friday I am off work so off to the pool to get some Nessie Challenge lengths in as I've not been swimming this month! :-(

Next weekend will depend on what happens Friday (if you know what I mean!!). Maybe shopping in Nottingham on Saturday. Otherwise I plan to cycle to/from the pool and get some more lengths in on Saturday whilst hubby is working then Sunday I would like to do a run/walk thing of about 10K maybe more (again whilst hubby is working!)

Tonight I will be double checking my TW kit and packing my course stuff as tomorrow I have a Sainsbury run to do and Friday ... well no need to talk about Friday!!

Nervous excitement is taking over. I am trying to drink lots to hydrate fully and trying not to eat lots but that's hard. I'm an emotional eater and nerves = food but I am trying!!

So the count down continues ... 2 more sleeps and half a day of "work" then off we go to commence this madness!!

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!?!

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
