Whoops! Sorry!

Sorry Yes I've been busy!

Also puter is dying of a virus and needs re-installing but Gnome is half way through a project! So sorry to anyone who has mailed me (Bear!) and thanks!

Also I played hostess to 2 speedy folks, have driven to Reading and played cheer leader for Gnome!

Yesterday Gnome did the Green Park Challenge at Reading. It's 3.3km and he finished in 20:55 which is faster than me! Bless!

I've also been busy at the gym going 4-5 times a week. I'm trying to get folks to give me money for my birthday for PT sessions there to aid in this year's weight lose goals. So far this week I have lost 4lb despite gaining due to courses. So slow but in the right direction.

Running has been restricted to 10 ish mins on the tready or max 1mile but it's good. I have to admit to feeling a tad emotional and jealous at both the Ashby 20 and Reading but I'm focused on losing the weight and that is what I will do!

I'm now on my 2nd week of Rosemary Conley as there is now a class at work. I lost 2lb last week and these are the pounds that count for the sponsored slim I am doing (It's for Macmillan if anyone wants to sponsor me!)

I'm off on holiday next week - 1st of the year and I need it! Work is great still but tiring! I am also doing 2 courses over the next 3 weeks both in Business Objects and in London (near Fleet St) for 1 day then 3 days. So busy busy busy!

Oh and J is back in the UK; there was 138 attacks on the base in Basra whilst he was there and the closest damage was 30ft away from him! He also has carpal tunnel syndrome and is hoping to be told to go back to work injured! Either way the latest he is back to work is the end of May so not long now!

Think that's all for now! I do update Fetch with all my training so if you are bored look there!! Cya!!

Gnome's time was great - well done!

And well done to you for all the gym visits and the steady weight loss, it sounds like you are enjoying it all.

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...
