Friday Dec 14 | ||
| Note | |
| Another rest day: spent attending the Whoopsadaisy Angel Nativity Play (excellent entertainment value) and coffee morning. Had a mince pie, thanks Rona, it was naughty but nice! | ||
| Fitball 30:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Bare feet | ||
| The choice for Friday evening's entertainment was writing Christmas cards or bouncing around on my big squashy ball whilst watching Qi. Guess what? The ball won... and unbelievably the living room is still in tact due to a last minute body swerve! Phew! Cards still waiting... | ||
Thursday Dec 13 | ||
| Note | |
| Rest day - spent most of the day resisting the temptation to have chocolates from the two large tins sitting next to my desk (as well as doing some work of course). Feel like I must have inhaled them as I'm having a 'fat' day. | ||
Wednesday Dec 12 | ||
| Night Orienteering race (Night) 1:02:28 [4] 4 km (15:37 / km) | |
| shoes: Walsh | ||
| Set off at a comfortable pace and found myself ahead of people I shouldn't have been - what were they doing out there? Faffed at control 5, Beccy caught me and then it all went horribly wrong - ended up at 8 rather than 7 (lost ~5mins). When I eventually got to 7 I met up with Angela, she was going to give up but I persuaded her to finish and we teamed up for moral support... I got ahead on the downhill and all I could hear was "Alison, wait for me..."! (There are some things you think you will never hear in your life time and that was one of them, but ok she had just run the Everest marathon and didn't have the luxury of a big headtorch). I then lost the plot completely due to lack of concentration and messed up the next two controls. Angela sped off past me on the street section (and so did Hazel on the long course) but I caught her up looking for the controls! I didn't have a hope keeping up with Angela on the run in and anyway, someone had to be last but I didn't mind in the least because I loved every minute of the race! Sometimes it's not about the winning...
Lessons to be learned are: 1. Don't be put off by other people on a race. 2. Stop talking to people whilst on a race. 3. Do more training. 4. Concentrate. 5. Read the map. | ||

| Note | |
| Skidded in the car on some ice and calf went into cramp - agony! Sat for 5mins before able to drive. Far too much lactic acid in there still... | ||

| Going the right way... 6lbs to go! This has to be the worst time of year to be on a diet. No Christmas pud for me thanks. | ||
| Note | |
| Rest day, sat down at work all day... Calves still feel very tight but almost calmed down now. | ||
