I'm here! Really I am!

[waves madly]
Hello!!!!
I'm alive! Honest!

Well work is brilliant and I almost don't notice the lack of forum access! I can get to RW articles! Also Fetch (and fetch mail) but not the forums or my mail so if anyone wants to speak then it's evenings only or Fetch!

Training has been well err nothing since last week's 1 run! But I did walk round Roman Silchester with Gnome on Saturday! It was very nice and warm and only 2.8km but took us ages! Gnome is going off the idea of walking Hadrian's Wall now!

Now here are my excuses for not running at the weekend:
Friday I didn't drink enough with the drive down and late night and I had a restless night with "crampy" legs so felt awful and tired 1st thing Saturday; then I was waiting for husband; then it was too hot; then we walked the Roman wall! Then I drank too much to get up early enough to run Sunday before the family do!!

BUT tomorrow I will be going for a run with "the boys" at work! Well at least they will take me to the trail as it is hard to pin point where it is on the map!! The slow lads take between 26 and 30mins to do the 3m course! The fast boys run 6m in their lunch!

I went for a walk round the grounds today ... took to 201. The path round the grounds is 1.25m! I will try to do a 30mins run 2-3 times a week, looking to slowly increase distance not time and therefore allow for a quick change and shower! Today I saw 5 runners from work, 3 of which were running together!

Apart from that not much more to report! I AM in Brass Monkey!! Yippeee! Also the Sucide Sixish and they are my only planned races. Once I have my 1st salary from the new place I will also look to get some new running shoes. Oh and so far the work snacking has plummeted so fingers crossed that will continue and combined with some running then maybe just maybe I can start to get into shape!

Speak soon!!

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!?!
