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!!

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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
