Spring Clean for Bear!

OK OK I'm sorry I have neglected things but those who can read (unlike Bear) will have realised I was away and hence the silence!

A quick run down for Bear. Last week:
Sunday: drive to mum's
Monday: walk down the Thames and crazy golf at Maidenhead
Tuesday: course in London. Parked at Fraggle's (thanks!) so got 1.5m walking in just getting to/from Reading station, plus I did some speed work round Paddington Station (thanks to train times) and a gentle jog down Fleet Street. All carrying a ruck sack. Had planned a 1-1.5m walk as I had to take my car to be serviced but dad meet me at the garage.
Wednesday: meet the lovely Fraggle for a day out with the little people at Lego Land.
Thursday: collected car (expensive) and then had to get tyres (more expense)
Friday: M&S shopping + garden centre
Saturday: tree climbing thanks to model plane landing in tree (failed to retrieve plane so dad cut the tree down!)
Sunday: birthday meal + wine! Monday: in-laws then home

So basically last week I did no exercise and ate a lot! Hopefully this won't have caused too many problems weight wise as I think I am at a good half stone off since Christmas! >beams<

Luckily I got lots of money for my birthday so I have booked my 1st PT session with Mr Mega Fit Muscled Tri man from the gym. He has a tough guy reputation so with a bit of luck he will beat me into submission!

I've also had a bad evening - hubby is on nights. Last week I was away from home and I have to admit to having missed him. I thought it was best to be away because he was on nights as that would allow him to sleep and Gnome to play. Tonight I've drained a half bottle of wine (left from Sunday) and released just how much I hate him working nights. Think I will need to get up in time to do the gym thing tomorrow morning!

Nite!

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

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...

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...
