I had a lovely long update for you but Blogger ate it!
Anyway here is the short version!
Saturday ... plan was 10k wasn't it? Yes well NO that just didn't happen. Everything went wrong! 201 wouldn't charge, ate too little, drank too little, PF niggled during morning, Timex batteries died after 1m and tightness in lower leg muscle made me walk then finally change the 10k run into a 5k walk. Not happy.
For the medical ones out there .... left leg (one with PF) outside of calf gets really tight. Can feel like a bruise when I get home. Tight for 20-25mins then will go. Makes me walk and want to stretch as it feels so tight but hurts to stretch. Doesn't seem to happen when walking. Have had sports massage (3wks ago) and that doesn't seem to have made any difference. Ideas? Shoes? Surface? Too much too soon? Faster running and body not used to it after mainly walking for months? Weight? Warm up? Stretching?
Sunday I hoped to go out and try again. 1hr of ironing and 2hrs of stripping wall paper and PF was very unhappy so no run.
Monday I ran ... much better than Saturday but still the same tightness but 2.4m in 31mins.
Today I've been on a "new starter workshop" which included lovely hot meal and err Danish pastry with my morning tea!!! Got back to my desk and was told that I will be doing a Unix course in err 3wks! Oracle course in Jan and if all goes well SAS in Feb!! How cool is that!
On the down side as such my ex-work mates got told yesterday that they may not have a job by Christmas. How glad am I that I left?!?!

You know what i think about your shoes-------
(glad it's not just me that's having blogger problems!)
You know how I know this!
But it does sound like you're having a great time. Very pleased for you.
fanks folks!
Caff at this moment in time I am loving it! So much to learn and see and do!
UNIX course is now 2 wks later (in London!) and that will be hard work but fun and scary 'cos London frightens me!!
It should also help you to negotiate a higher salary as you have more skills
and they're paying for you to do it!
