Hmmm

Just looking back ...

Now according to that ... (Dec 2005) I would be lighter, faster and healthier!

Well lets see:
Lighter - Not yet but working on it!
Faster - Not even running!
Healthier - well yes less colds but err bit of an injury problem this year!!

Today I went swimming with Gnome. The little darling did really well but has also developed a bit of a belly! Now normally this means he will shoot upwards but this belly has been around for a while! So .... me finks it's time for more exercise!

If he still has this belly in month or so (i.e. he hasn't sprouted) then we I mean I will be taking him swimming 2 maybe 3 times a week, which means after work (feels tired already!). Which to an extent isn't bad because it will help me too and he likes swimming plus I did say I was considering the 5k swimathon didn't I! I will leave it for a month because A I have no energy and B I still think he is due a growth spurt!

He has proper running shoes now (well he has wide feet so they fit better than normal trainers) so once the kitchen is done then him and me can do the tready/exercise bike thing too. Talking of which, does anyone know how late kids can exercise without it being an issue?? I mean if he has his dinner at 6 can he walk/run on the tready and/or use the exercise bike for 30mins at 7:30-8 without him having sleeping issues?

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...
