Hmmmm

Grumpy Pixie ... foot still hurts.

That's a week now. Still on the brufen and still resting and still hurting. Today I tried my boots thinking that as they aren't so close fitting over the top of my foot that may be better ... wish I had brought shoes too cos yes the top isn't causing pressure but they are now hurting more!
I did, however, get a big smiley feeling this afternoon as my manager said some work I had done was excellent!


Then to make me feel better Oxfam called ... we haven't got to the £1000 and when will we? Bless them they even said if we don't get the £1000 then people may not be allowed to enter in 2007 even if they have done TW before and paid in full before! We're £230 short thanks to a combination of team member swap outs (twice if you recall) and unemployed team members. Can you do another team event? they asked! Car boot with all proceeds to Oxfam? If I had changed jobs before the TW I could have got money off work but now I can't (the old place ignored my requests!) So now what? Any ideas?!


This has done one thing for sure ... I WILL NOT be doing Trailwalker again. My Dragon is dead I have nothing to prove.


Also won't be doing the Moonwalk because it is just 3wks after FLM and if I do get into that (find out in about 3wks via bank account!) then I won't want to do another marafun so soon! Anyway the entries were a nightmare last year and they open before FLM closes and will be gone in 1 day so CBA!!

PS diclofenac works better than brufen but foot still hurts!

That's a shame about TW. Does that mean Leon can put his own reserved sticker on me?

It is pity that such a good event could end up sourly.

Still you triumphed and have raised a pretty good amount of money

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

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...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
