Slowly Does it ...

So there I was getting back into action … running well and looking to getting back into the WW thing and well ….. Left over takeaway curry. Wednesday night I used Imodium for it's proper reason for once and seriously worried as to if I would be able to make it into work.

In the end I did make it to work, although I was very tired and eating a lot less! I even ran yesterday (3.2m again in 37mins again {and I beat S to the end of Whistler's Way (note I then died)}) then I got home and fell asleep. Tea was a few water biscuits as that was all my belly would take. I felt fine just had a sore belly. It's still not right today and I am still tired. I didn't get up in time to do the TRI and so didn't do it. I was too tired anyway and I am racing at the weekend. I suppose I could have done it at lunch as I had kit with me but instead I went shopping!

My next course for work is Oracle in January; car and hotel booked today. The course will cover most of the requirements for an exam so I am thinking of doing the 1st 2 exams to get the basic Oracle qualification. I'm not intending to leave here (well not for a few years at least!!) but it is good to get and will help with my job too. Also trying to get Fedora 6 to work at home but I fear the download (all 6CDs) may have failed. I can buy them (may do that) online or I could buy a magazine with the DVD on but Gnome has the DVD player so can't do that! Feeling very positive about work just now which is good and it isn't manic, just nice and relaxed here so no stress and pressure. Speaking to S from the old place and well I feel for them. Sounds like a complete nightmare there.

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...
