Happy Christmas One and All!


Yes I know there is technically one week to go but I won't be around much (if at all) between now and then!
So:

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!! May Santa bring you all you wish for!

Anyway, now for a quick update. Friday I didn't run not only because I needed the rest but because I need Calpol! Yes Gnome has decided now is an excellent time to get a cough/cold! Bless! So instead of a relaxing mug of soup over a good book (yes still reading the Competitive Runner's Handbook) it was a dash down the road to the very busy Fosse Park and play spot the parking space. Then dash to Boots (interval training slalom style), M&S, JJB and W H Smith (well thought I would grab a few last minute bits whilst I was there!). Followed by a dash back to the office.

Yesterday I was thinking of running and almost went out but stuff had to be done and Gnome was poorly so I stayed in. So today I was up and ready to run when I looked out and saw white icy roads. Typical! Anyway I was only planning a short one stopping at Tesco for a paper etc then a walk AKA cool down home. As I had this walk to finish with I started off in my jacket (so I could put it on when I finished running) but it wasn't on that long because it was perfect crisp sunny winters morning. Ideal for a long run! My legs however had a different idea! Combine legs that are still tired (recent increase in distance, number of runs and pace will be the reason behind this one!) and slippy roads and today's run was a slow steady one with a few walk breaks. Still 3m done which saw me increase my distance from last week by just under 10% so ideal!

This afternoon I gave blood so tomorrow I rest then Tuesday I am off home and working my lunch so I can leave early. Add that to the fact I will be at mum's/ down south for just over a week and as I said I won't be about much!

What I will be doing is carry on reading my I mean V-Rap's book and thinking about my training. The how what why and also the logging of information to try and see what I am doing. In addition I have an Oracle course in Manchester on the 2nd Jan for 2 days. So from Monday 8th Jan I will be working hard at work, running and body image and shape.

2006 has been a rough old year. 2 Halves, 2 PBs. 1 car crash, PF and a strained foot tendon. A storming TW and a new job. Very inconsistent training overall and I find myself ending the year at about the same weight, mileage and pace and I finished 2005.

So roll on 2007 and again I say lets make it a better year than this one!

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!?!
