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 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...
