Quick Update

Whoops! Just realised I haven't done an update for a while! Well I've been busy keeping up the gym work, playing mother and working!

Work remains great! J is almost back from Iraq (flies back on the 18th March but not back to work for a while) and remains in good health! I'm going on another course too! A request has gone in for 2 Business Objects course which are back to back in April at their Maidenhead office. This means I can stay at mum's for a few days again.

Tomorrow is Red Nose Day and I will be doing the gym's charity tri for a laugh! It's 1000m on the rower, 2mile on the upright bike then 1mile on the tready. I'm not expecting fast times but it's a good challenge! They did it for Children in Need so I will repeat it then to see how I improve!

Tuesday K and I at work joined the Rosemary Conley class which started to enable the sponsored slim. We're both aiming for 2st off before the end of October for the Macmillan Sponsored Slim with some extra pounds off if we want after that! So I know have lots of focus with a diet buddy at work!

Hubby has also said we will get a Wii if I lose weight, very much in the "yeah right" tone of voice so I have to now! I will also be asking for money for my birthday from all my family for PT sessions to keep me well focused exercise wise!

This weekend I will be supporting the lovely v-rap and the buzzy one who are running the Ashby 20 which is run by "my club" (yes the one I haven't been too for 2yrs!) and then next weekend Gnome is running Reading. He hasn't done any training 'cos he "runs about at school" and can do the distance "easily". It's only 2m and he did manage a 5k in the new year so he should be OK! We'll see!

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

Stoppy Sulking Pixie

Ok so if you remember (assuming you were listening!) yesterday I mentioned that today would be swimming! Fraggle had given me some advice on how to improve my front crawl so off I went full of enthusiasm ready to master front crawl! 40 mins later I sulked out of the pool annoyed and frustrating and failing to master the front crawl! See like a lot of casual swimmers I "thrash about making a lot of splashes!" when doing crawl and this means my HR sores and I die at the end of 1 length needing 3-4mins recovering at the side of the pool before I attempt to swim another length in any stroke! Fraggle pointed out that if I place my head in the water properly (like look at the bottom of the pool rather than half under) then slow down, breathe out when in the water the breath in as your head leaves the water (I know what I mean even if you don't!) then it will be easier! Sounded good and practice breathing in the house went well!! I get in the pool - this is it. I can do this! Oh...

and then the was three!

Well before now I've had arguments between Pixie and Trixie and today Logic joined in! Pixie siad run yes but not too long cos you ran yesterday and have hardly run in 2 weeks! Trixie said but but but need to do a long run, long runs are good! Logic said runs are good and tomorrow you give blood so won't run and Tuesday you have post blood rest day and a massage! Trixie and Logic then argued it out. Trixie won! Logic then spent the whole run saying, slow down, breath, it's too hot, see now you're paying! Trixie struggled on with the "hey I'm running!" smile on her face until she hit yet another hill when smile vanished and was replaced with serious "I will not give in" face! So that's it then! 6.7m of sllllloooooowww hard work! Will post stats later but they aren't that pretty! But as Leon said - we run because we enjoy it! Today was more of a "I WANT to do a long run" run than a need to do a long run run! Next week I will repea...
