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!

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...

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

Fetch!

Being an active member of the Runners World Forum I always liek to support others if I can. Lately we have had Wild Will start and e-nutrican site at XHog - Be Fit Not Fat and we also have Fetch with his excellent site FetchEveryone . I signed up to Fetch's site when he 1st mentioned it and have to admit I hadn't been there for a while - but today I did! He's really done a lot! He's added in a feature where you can see who else is at your race, race reviews, your PB's and a training log. OK so the log isn't fancy but I love it 'cos it does what you want and also gives some encouragement by showing your weekly milage and predictions for various race distances! Pixie likes! As such I will look forward to my tempo run tomorrow lunchtime (boss IS away!!) and will record it with interest - just need to study the map to see where in the exciting Loughborough town center to go!!
