BPTT Update for 31st March

Yay – two pb’s today. It seems that each time I turn up for the run at Bushy Park my heart throws in an extra couple of beats for good measure. Hollywood and John were cracking the whip on the final straight this week and the result: my new HRmax is now 189 bpm and [...]

I Float

I Float

I took advantage of my extra light hour this evening and cycled down to Pools in the Park for a little paddle. Seems I can still remember how to float but forward progress is slow and quite painful actually. The front of my ankle hurts after a few lengths so I had to give up [...]

What a Shambles

I dragged myself out of bed at some ungodly hour this morning so I could get to the registration desk for The Great Escape run. Arrived too early as usual and then had to perform jumping jacks for about 2 hours to ward off hypothermia while we waited for the finance society to organise 400 [...]

Guilt Tripping

Guilt Tripping

I’m feeling pretty guilty and a bit slovenly. I skipped BPTT today so that I could wait for the postman to bring me my new toy. When it arrived I took it back to bed with me so I could check out its functions, but I didn’t mean for anyone to feel rejected! I hinted [...]

Impulsive Nutter

Oh good grief, not sure what has possessed me but I’ve just pressed submit on an entry form for the Stratford Sprint Triathlon. I think I am going to be asking myself why for quite some time to come. I can’t remember how to swim so I’m going to immerse myself in Hampton outdoor pool [...]

Running Commute No 8

Grief it was cold today and windy, but I shouldn’t complain – it seems the wind was in my favour for most of the route and that never normally happens. I felt really strong at the end, my hip was hurting but I had stacks of puff left and finished with my fastest time so [...]

Weird and wonderful routes to Warriorwomen

This post is surely asking for trouble but here goes. A recent plugin – Firestats – has opened my eyes to the wonders of google searches and more specifically the search terms that lead visitors to this site. Some are quite painful: Iliac crest pain in back and hip but others are darn right uncomfortable: [...]

BPTT Update for 17th March

I nearly turned around and went home before I’d even started today. My hip was hurting and my stomach was threatening to misbehave because of last nights festivities. I’ve run on a hangover before though and I think the result was quite positive so I hung around and tried to stretch my hip out before [...]

My hip has started to get really vocal in the last few weeks, it is not very happy with me at all. I’m not alone with this one, I’ve noticed a number of bloggers commenting on similar ailments but so far I haven’t picked up any great cure-all tips. I was hoping to squeeze a [...]

Running Commute no 7

I love these light nights, it feels like I’m getting my life back and I can run when I feel like it. I’ve been looking forward to tonights commute as I planned to make use of the extra light to venture down on to the canal for a portion of my route home. Funny, as [...]
