Zonked

Well I am! Totally zonked. Woke up at 2am with belly ache, was still awake at 2:30 so checked my bank account (no cheques being cashed), changed the bed (save me doing it tonight), read and still I was awake! Then the alarm went off at 6.10 and I so didn't want to get up but knew if I stayed "for 5mins" I would fall back to sleep! So I got up again!

So ...Cheque watch continues … don't think anyone has had theirs cashed yet, and people are expecting tomorrow to be D-Day from what I can gather! Not that I am in the least bit bothered if I get in or not … I'm after the reject count (new start as I didn't enter last year - Doh!) and the "sports jacket". I have no doubt that I will be there anyway at mile 17 if not at Blackheath! Glowing green at not being running I expect but there! Unless I can't get a Gnome sitter (he's not coming as he would be a bored nightmare!) in which case I will spend all morning glued to the BBC! But as we all know that just isn't the same is it? You don't get the same sights, sounds and smells as actually being there. The emotions of willing people on, wanting them to take your sweets (that sounds soooo dodgy!) knowing it will help them later. Admiring the speed and grace of the fast runners and the determination of the slower ones and as for the ones in wheelchairs - total respect! >wafts off into own dream world<

On a brighter side the cold is improving already! Phew! So maybe I can get some exercise in soon!! …. >drum roll< I've been for a walk!! Yes indeed I have! The last walk I did resulted in me limping back to my desk but today I walked round the "estate" and although I knew the soreness was there I wasn't limping or altering my gait/foot fall!

The problem with getting fresh air and having lost fitness and having had little sleep is that this afternoon I am struggling! My eyes are heavy! J is busy doing important stuff so I've been left to my own devices and I am too tired to do much! I've been wanting to eat but instead have had some WW mints. I've even walked downstairs and back up all 72 stairs again! I think tonight will be bath and bed for sure!

Tomorrow Gnome comes home complete with the in-laws so mass tidy up, clean, iron, do washing etc! So I had better sleep tonight! I also need to fit a shop in just in case I need to feed people! If Gnome had come home tonight I could have seen v-rap and Josie Jump and Aim High! And all the kiddies but I can't. :-(

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
