For Various Beady Eyes

To clarify yesterdays post with some well thought out facts!!

Lose Weight
- Carry on a WW, get off 1 stone by Christmas (4.5lb down now) ideally get 10% off by Christmas (16lb) for WW 10% award!
- Gentle exercise most days so as not to think I need more food! Such as walking for 30mins at lunch when not running.
- Use "£ for a Lb" tin to fund new clothes/kit and keep me going!

Basic Fitness
- Aim to use stairs at work (all 72) 4 times a day and be able to run up them all by Christmas
- Get back to swimming 20 lengths without a break - up to 10 front crawl.

Have Fun
- Join pool for both Gnome and I when I get back from my course
- Take Gnome swimming at least twice a week, 30 mins serious 30 mins playing per session
- Get Gnome running (well he has the shoes!)
- Do team swimathon with Gnome in March, if possible do 5k swimathon myself too (not sure if time will allow this!)

Shorter Runs
- Work running routes vary with a max of 3.2m
- Aim to run 1 short route fast (1.5-2m), 1 long (3.2m) and 1 various (hill work or various route) a week at work by Christmas
- Max 10k run at weekends

Improve Time on Short Runs
- Aim to beat S at work to various points like J does!
- Aim to be at the same pace as J for when he returns from service in April/May (that means improving by about 7mins over the 3m course!)
- Aim to run whole of 3m course (including the hill that J fails on!) by Christmas

There! Are you impressed! I am!!

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

Sensible Head

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 (...

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...
