So there it is ...

I've been running since 2002. I've been no lighter than 10st 10lb and currently am about 11st too much! Not my heaviest but not good! Since starting running I have had the following:

Jan 2004 - tendon strain in right foot
Jan 2005 - stress fracture/reaction in right tibia
Jan 2006 - Plantar Fasciitis in left heel
Oct 2006 - tendon strain? Stress Fracture in right foot.

The consistent factor is weight. So there it is if I want to carry on running I have to lose weight. Many people who are heavier than me run faster, further, more miles etc (Fat Buddha does IronMan events) but my body obviously does not like running at this weight.

I don't want to give up running so I have no choice. I have to lose weight. So either Tuesday or Wednesday I will be going back to WW and telling the boys at home too.

Tomorrow I will see the Dr ( may just be able to make an appointment). At lunch I will also visit the local (to work) leisure center. I think it will be too far away for a lunchtime swim but ideal for a pre-work swim, and husband's shift pattern means that I should be able to start doing that next week for a few weeks. I can then use the bike storage at work for lunchtime cycles. When I am not cycling at lunch I will take soup to work and when I am it will be sarnies or pitta bread and lots of veg etc.

I might as well take this opportunity and who knows I may be a stone lighter by Christmas and fit enough to do a decent run at BM in January.

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!?!

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
