Grrr

I hate being injured ... when I get injured I do stupid things like clean ovens and hack trees!

Yes I'm bored so having to find other ways of exercising (keep it clean folks!) especially as my butt would not appreciate hours on a bike! Not that I can get to my bike at the minute anyway!!

Further inspection of the foot confirms that the pain is indeed on the "knuckle" area of the middle toe. It's sore like a bruise so I think I may have just run uneven and twisted it or something. Mind you resting doesn't seem to have made much difference. If it is no better by the weekend I may ask a very nice friendly Dr what she thinks!

Next weekend I hope to go shopping with v-rap and Gnome! I want new shoes (think the sore calves and foot are shoe related!) and gnome wants to do some fun runs (there is a 1m fun run 20mins from home next month) and he needs new trainers and has his mum's wide feet and NB do wide shoes fitting for kids so.... :-D Plus I should get my 1st pay from the new place Friday too!

Oh the UNIX course was cancelled so now on the same course, same place (Bishopgate in London?) just 2 weeks later ... 7th Nov for 4 days.

Having settled into work now, my only problem is that J has an unhealthy chocolate problem! Kit kat for breakfast sort of thing! Mind you seeing as he can run faster than me .... it's OK I won't try that diet! but I do think that it's time to settle down and look to lose some weight properly (have lost 3lb in the 3wks I have been there without trying). Add that the FLM entries close in 2wks so cheques will be cashed within 3wks .... I'm sure I am in cos I only get injured when FLM training!! Oh and there is the Suicide and BM to train for too!! Bear has inspired me so why not!! So tomorrow my lunchbox (taken one of those most days!) will be nice an healthy ready for the new me!!

good for you pix
I am glad you are finally getting new shoes-i think your others have had it
might be worth also asking the nice people in Sutton runner about your foot-

I think you are right Benz
foot is really annoying and I've started a thread on RW ... wanted new shoes before but suffered with lack of money, the new place has saved me some money too as no M&S or shops to spend in! Mind you the only decent tea is 54p a go! Taking lunch helps too!

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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
