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!

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...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
