Was up early this morning, very tired but as I had arranged to meet my friend for a run, I got ready. Was just about to go out the door when I had a text to say that one of her kids was ill and she couldn't make it. So...... I went back to bed! I am so tired at the moment. Hormones I think.
Everyone sounds so energetic compared to me. Sob!
RIGHT?????
praps it's the weather
I am in my bloody prime!
sobs quietly in corner
Lucky me is off to sunny Spain on Saturday, so hopefully I will come back bouncing with energy. Will be great to get away from work, daughter's house renovations, house disappearing under a mounting pile of STUFF........
Should I take my running shoes? Can't make up my mind. Perhaps should try barefoot running on the beach.
at least you will get SUN
thats got to help
It is SO grey here
deffo take shoes
Diana take the shoes but only run if you feel like it, I usually run 30-40 mins every other day when on holiday, gives the mind and body a rest with the change of routine.
Sun always helps me Hippo - hope some more arrives over the UK for all of you.
Just back from 8 miles - it wasn't raining, just a bit humid, so ok. Just under 11 minute miles. My legs are weary now. I'm going to eat and then I have Spanish to do - I'm doing an OU course.
It's my wedding anniversary today but I managed to convince Mr Debbo that we could go out tomorrow instead.
DianaD - lucky you! Take your shoes and see how you feel. It'll probably be too hot to run, but then at least you'll get a good rest.
Jane - that sounds like a good session - were you sprinting?
we did 13 ahem 12.5 last friday
im as old as you
cant say , gulp-13
I have been married for a long time, all of 22 years this September. He still never buys me what I would really really like for birthdays and xmas.
beat you all on wedded bliss - we've known each other since first year at uni (31y), living together for last 27y and married 23y this december. i wouldn't change it for the world but agree men can't do presents!
27 years
you get less for murder------
My hubby came up trumps this year
he did
a garmin
and amber stuff for anniversary
off to have a drop of amber stuff myself..
hic, already done
Have a 5m run planned with a friend on Saturday morning - nice and early at 9. Should be ok by then hopefully.
My energy levels overall had increased with running but there are times when tiredness means I have to take an early night or fall asleep watching the TV.
Lovely pressies Hippo, I bought my own Garmin.
In denial. Haven't touched bike since b4 FLM. AM a bad and stupid lady. NOw having pulling out thoughts and then I think well even if I am last at least I'll have tried.
I am very tired today, I have the Black Rock 5 and promised to run with my bro in the morning tomorrow...
Must, must sort tyres tomorrow.
If I don't go I'll be annoyed at myself for being a coward and if I do I'll be annoyed for being ill prepared so the result is the same isn't it?
Sure you will be fine Katypie - only learned to ride a bike when I was in my thirties, so I would struggle!
DianaB - wonderful opportunity for your youngest - I adored Barcelona when I went a few years ago.
No you are right, I am marathon fit so I am fit enough to complete this. It's typical of me to over commit, I always do 100 things badly instead of 1 well. I can't let the tri suit go to waste.
I need to swap the tyres from MTB - road tyres
The things we do eh?
Glad to say I ENJOYED my first run last night since FLM, did 7 miles with a .8 mile big (they are all big to me!!) hill and even though the hill was tough the whole run felt as if I was actually achieving something. So so glad that feeling is back - I've been missing it. Got an interval training session in the morning.
Mr TS & I aren't married yet, going to do the deed sometime either later this year or next, we have been together on and off for 20 years (we're a bit slow!!). He is good at buying me pressies, most of them though are gadgetty, cameras, PDA's and that sort of thing - though with the odd diamond thrown in
Miserable down here in Hants, Diana have a great holiday in Spain, lucky you! Mr TS is in Houston at the mo, ringing me to tell me it is 94 degrees!!
