>Pixie flops half asleep onto chair<
Last night I decided that it would be a really good idea to strip some more of the hallway wall paper off. I was already tired from the brain usage in new job and then running two days in a row so maybe not my best idea! I slept well mind! Bit too well as I had no recollection of the alarm going off and nearly ended up being late!
Anyyyyyway … I got in with kit and I'm half asleep! It's taken 2 large cuppa teas at work (total 3 for the morning instead of normal 1!) to make me feel even half awake! Brain is definitely in go slow mode! Think it will be a bath and early night for the Pixie tonight!
Lunchtime … run with the boys (!!) Well I ran with J and S played chase again! He caught us within 19mins then stormed off into the distance!
Today was much nicer running weather and J decided I should do a longer run so he could show me more routes! Fair enough! Whilst out we chatted about his RAF stuff, how often does he get called up etc etc. Well I asked the odd quick gasped question and he answered in detail!
The 201 lost signal as we were under some trees and when we came out it read 29mins and just under 2m, by the time we finished it said 38:34 and 2.78m with the 2nd mile taking 16:41 … I think not! Estimating 12mm pace (from the 1st mile at 12.11 and the last 0.8m in 9.41) this makes it over 3m so a 2006 5k PB!! Again the calves ached and were tight but this went after about 20 mins and after that I was running fairly strong and it was good! Over all it was again a good run and nice that J is taking the time to show me where to go and where routes go etc. Once back at the office I looked on the map and he showed me where we went meaning I know for when I run alone. The run for him was about 5-6mins slower than his normal time, but as he said he finished knowing he had run but not knackered so good for both of us!
When we got back "home" J had missed a call …. Potential RAF call up! In November! For 4mths! So if he does go I have 5 weeks to learn everything! Arrrggghhh!!! Minor stress! I mean if he goes I am in such grief and will have to have some very intensive training. Without realising I was worrying about 1 or so hours later I noticed I had the tell tale belly pains of stressing. So out came the colpermine before it got worse. I know that if he does go they can't expect miracles of me having only started last week but still! Also if he goes will my chances of training course(s) this year get knocked on the head? Last time he was away (2004 for 8mths) the company got someone in but with 1mths notice, oh I don't know! No point worrying about what you can't change hey!
Now do I potter alone for a short one tomorrow or not? Ok maybe not but what I will do ... as it is "dress down Friday" is go for a longer walk ... maybe even walk the 2.4m we ran on Tuesday?
