So now what?

I am so confused! I was expecting to not get in and that my cheque would be cashed next week. The RW list shows loads of cheques on the 31st then 2 on the 1st and now more people are saying it's cashed!Are the 2 the lucky ones from the 1000 ballot? Or just slow from the main ballot!

Told husband last night that it looked like I wasn't in and as I couldn't sleep I planned my life (as you do thereby stopping you from sleeping even more!) and now I just don't know!! I know I have to wait until the magazine comes out really but that's not for another 3-4 weeks!!

Last night I was planning a good 6mths of proper training, it was all about weight lose and fitness. I was going to DNS Brass Monkey as I was/am unlikely to get the time I want. I wasn't going to enter Reading or indeed any races until Mid year. Just train hard (swim and run and pool run) and get into top shape. I wasn't in FLM so there was no reason to worry! In fact I was so sure I wasn't in that I decided that if I did get in I would defer! I was going to become the lean mean running machine I wanted to be and follow v-raps steps into being a faster runner!

Now I am confused! There is a chance that this is the 2nd ballot but then it could just be the jumper for me! You see having missed out on the RW buzz I'm out of touch on the last conspiracy theories and dates so I'm just going to have to wait and that is so not fair!

This all boils down to one thing! I need to get moving! I need new shoes! If I start moving now I gain an extra month of fitness. If I am in then great I have a good start, if I am not in then I have lost nothing!

I'm in London next week and Spans and I will hopefully pop into the Sweatshop in Covent Garden so I can do a run test on those shoes I want before I order them from online!

In the mean time I wait ... 3 weeks isn't that long really! Is it?! Nah! Didn't think so! If I am in then I want sub 5hrs so if I get in I will see what training happens and I won't rule out deferring I mean I'm not even running at this moment in time and haven't done so for a month!

Hmmmm Arrrggghhh!!!

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

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
