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

A New Journey

Welcome back to the Athlete in Training . Here I am still running and still wanting to change and improve. I've been working with Ami Porter and I have taken her Clear and Clarity 28 day programme which has been a huge help to me. I have been lucky to have had Ami as a friend for several years now. When I was teaching she was a great friend and ear when stress took over my life and since then she has trained as a Life Coach. I am looking to change my career - I currently work for McVities and I am lucky enough that I can change to working part time and I have asked for this to happen. My goal is to train as a swimming teacher! As I can now work part time I want to do a job that makes me happy and that feels good. I loved teaching and working with the kids and I have always liked helping people. As someone who also loves exercise when I saw that there was an opportunity to work at the pool it seemed ideal. So, thanks to Ami I have been making plans. My short term plan was to unde

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

Time to Reflect

I've mentioned before that I am a diet junky, but one thing that this addiction has taught me is the signs to watch for. As of last Saturday I had lost 5lb - that was in 12 days. I was delighted. I knew that I had possible been a little low of calories but reconed that a kick start was good, after all a lot of diets/healthy eating plans started with 2 weeks of lower intact to kick start the plan and make you feel good with a high weight lose. So I carried on as before. Only the last 2-3 days I have noticed that I have been really tired and yesterday and today I have eaten a lot, not as much as I have before or as much as I could have eaten but a lot more than the last two weeks. So the analytical head has come into force. I haven't been running or exercising lots; I may be in work earlier but I am leaving early then dosing most of the afternoon with Oliver. This means just one thing.... I've cut back too much . I haven't lost any weight since Saturday (I may
