Told ya you'd come up with some reasoning diddleye!!

Sounding much more positive hon xx

 

[JanD]

And you're not a twerp!! Just human! xx

 

[RetailChick]

Glad your feeling better hun, your doing amazingly well, dont let today knock you xx

 

[summergurl]

Today did knock me hard - I still feel guilty 8hours later but I will do it on Thursday, I have to!

I've just munched some strawberries & 3 oatcakes with peanut butter

 

[irish molly]

Good luck for your run on Thursday. I'm sure you will do the full route. Stevie is probably right about your system being a bit sluggish.
You are doing great!

 

[JanD]

You certainly are and that snack wasn't bad hon! xx

 

[Zebs07]

Oh Tan don't get down! You've got to spin it - you've never done that before so instead of feeling a failure, be proud that you never gave into temptation to stop early before! That said I think it's a fab idea to change route so you don't pass the car! you've proven u can do it so focus on that.... Tis a mere blip!

I woke up more positive today but now i'm in a right pi$$y mood :sigh: can't be totm as after almost 4weeks its finally gone & if it comes back within the next 4weeks i'm not going to be happy.

Thought i'd better have a decent dinner this evening as i'm preparing the body for the 11miler tomorrow! I'm sure having some pasta or something in work once a week isnt going to hurt.

Wednesday 20th April

B- 3egg omelette with 2slices thin ham & a (big!) pinch of grated cheese. hp sauce.

L- baked chicken breast, lettuce, cucumber, boiled baby pots, beetroot.

*meringue nest & muller light yog.

D- 100g cooked pasta, 1/2 tin tuna, sweetcorn, elf mayo, lettuce.

S- 2 squares cadbury caramel
2oatcakes & pb
Slice of cheese

Edit: Just been having a right old mooch around the runners forum and can see loads of posts about people running their first 1/2 or full mara and advice telling them to stop focusing so much on time. This is what I have to do. Time, obviously is important but I need to relax and enjoy my training. Race day will be an achievement itself.

Pep talk over sucking it up as of tomorrow!

 

[JanD]

Sounds like sound advice to me .... Personally I think for the first one the aim should be to finish - b*gger the time. Subsequent ones you may then want to focus on improving your time as you know you can finish. (Says she - the expert on exercise :giggle xx

 

[summergurl]

Hungry even though I've polished off 2litres of water already today - just munched 2 oatcakes & pb & a slice of cheese. Pb all gone now!!

 

[JanD]

Uh-Oh! Good job the pbs gone now methinks ... wonder why you're hungry? If you are genuinely hungry you should eat but still I wonder why? xx

 

[summergurl]

Probably cuz I pigged on my few days off :giggle:

 

[JanD]

It's soooo hard to get back on track when that happens isn't it? not fair! xx

 

[summergurl]

Indeed it is And then the bank hols go and bug*er it up again .. although to be fair I am working fri, sat and sun so the only day i'll have off will be monday so food shouldnt be too bad .... she says lol

Off to work now, can't wait for 02:00 for my pasta lol
Hows your night going? xxx

 

[JanD]

Okay ta ... hope you have a good'un. I'm not working this weekend but I am on next weekend. I don't mind though because it means I don't start till friday night which means I'll be able to watch the wedding xx

 

[summergurl]

Oooh cool
I'm working with the regs all this weekend - people think I'm mad for giving up 3days off to work for free hahahaa

What time is the wedding on next week?
Think I'll be up early anyhow so will be able to watch it too

 

[JanD]

The actual service starts at 11am!! Didn't know that, I won't get my 'starting work tonight' lie-in if I want to see people arriving at the Abbey! (which I do ) xx

 

[summergurl]

[summergurl]

What another massive failure. Managed 7.5miles ran out of fluids and phoned my grandma to come get me and bring a big bottle of water. I'm such a baby.

What an earth am I guna do? It's 5weeks untill race day!!!!!!

I know I can run 10miles so whyyyyyyyy can't I do it??? Surely the heat can't be having that much of an affect on me!!!

My nan would be so dissapointed that i gave up & I feel like I'm letting those of you who have donated so far down.

:cry: :cry:

 

[Foo Fan]

Tanya I don't know about the weather with u but it was 26 today in Cardiff - no way could I run in that heat!!! Seriously don't be so hard on ur self x
