Just A Little Bit Further 2013

Moooorning

I hope everyone is okay. I promise I will be back properly with you all soon but I am in the process of dealing with an Appeal which is completely out of my comfort zone and means lots of Reading of stuff and making decisions that I am not sure I want to make

I must admit it is eating into Marathon training too so I'm not a happy Bunny. I was told it's only 10 weeks now, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

By Eck, I'm not surprised that you ache, well done.

Have a good Friday everyone.

Ecky, if you want to talk about it, I'm happy to help so far as I can.  Assuming its a legal matter, I have 5 years of law school behind me, and personal experience in appealing both a decision not to pay benefits and also unjust recovery of benefit payments.  Can't guarantee that I can be successful, and you have to make the decisions - I can just present the realities and the law to you.  If you want a bit of help, just PM me.

Hi everybody!

By'eck - Great news about Moo!

Did a 4 miler yesterday which is still about all I can manage as fitness has really gone downhill and I'm still snuffly. School starts again on Monday so I'll be pretty much back to running once or twice a week. Having nightmares about school already. Gosh I wish I could do something else.  Ideas on a postcard? Even thought about coming back to England but everybody else in the family is happy here. Went as far as looking at flights yesterday....feel like doing a runner before school starts again.

Anyway, middle boy had a swimming buddy staying over last night so we all had a late night.  Hubby has just taken them to the mosque for Friday prayers so daughter and I are having a beak from the noise!

Have a good day everybody. x 

Awww Jude, hugs to you sweetie. What a yucky position to be in. We know how hard you have to work and how stressful it all is. (If you moved to near Chingford then we could do parkrun together )

Ecky - sounds a tough one for you too.

Byeck - no wonder your legs are battered! Actually mine are too. But the sun is shining and I'm planning 10 miles this afternoon. Am going to wait until after school time since my No.2 girls wants to cycle with me Dinner is already made and hubby is here to watch the other girls.

Have had a rather distressing morning (just stuff), but the last of the choc chip cookies has helped and I'm going to get my essay written this afternoon. Speak to you later.

Afternoon,

It is indeed Friday and I thibk thag we should let Loula party & have a weekend of misbehaviour...and we should all join her!!! Lola hope things are working out for you. The boss hopes the home situation is sorted. 

byeck-Pleased to here Moo has put on a bit of weight. Just weighed myself and I have gone down from 11 2 to 10 13 which is a more plasing weight for me.Well done on your running. 

Jude- I f you moved back to near Horsham again you could join our running club!! I am sure things will work out for you and we are all here to support you.   

Chilli-Hope you get out on you 10 miler later.Well done on your cycling too.

Franny-Well done on your 9 miles. When is your Marathon?

Hi MC,RR etc etc 

Did a 11 mile club run this morning so that is two double figure runs this week & 34 miles in total. Will probably run 1st thing tomorrow morning. Weather looks horrible on Sunday.

Have a good day and don't forget it is naughty friday so let's have some nice picture of ladies please- RR please help out!!!   

Happy to oblige.

 That's Kelly Brooke - can you believe that Katie Price has apparently recently called her a 'heffer'?  At least she's a natural beauty, KP - in that same article, there's a picture of KP with so much fake tan she looks like an Oompa-Loompa!

Besides which, she's definitely no 'heffer'...

RR-Fine fine pictures- so acceptable.  RE Katie Price - she only lives about 3 miles away from me. Not my favourite person it has to be said.

Wow - three miles?  Do you ever see her around?  Not many people can say they've bumped into Katie Price while out for a run..

Just finished pullups for back, followed by dumbell workout for chest.  Chest's feeling a bit sore: good!

No she has passed me a coupld times in her car- she doesn't want to be recognised in her pink Range Rover KP11HOT or her pink horsebox!! I think she may be stalking me - but she would be well done on my list!!!

Well done on your pull ups etc

I don't understand why she had all the surgery done - she looked much better when she was 'natural' - Katie Price, rather than 'Jordan'.  I saw a picture of her once, before all the enhancements and OTT makeup - she was very pretty.

Because 'pretty Katie Price' was pretty but not special.  There was nothing that made her really stand out from all the other 'pretty' page 3 models.  If she wanted to progress beyond Page 3, but not go down the full blown porn route, with her level of talent she had to distinguish herself in some physical way.  So she had a shit-load of surgery.  You'd bang Katie Price (with a ball-gag, of course, don't want her opening her mouth and spoiling things) but you'd (or rather a lot of people would) fantasise about Jordan to the extent that you're paying loads and loads of money for that fantasy, and the magazines see that value.  Sad but true.

evening all

well long day at school - left really late, so no gym, so swim, just home and relaxing

Jude, I know that feeling, but hopefully you will get back into the swing of things

by eck - ah, how lovely, a nice long snooze.Bet you did need it and it has done you far more good than your run would have done.

have a trial with a masters swimming session tomorrow, hope they don't tell me I am not good enough it would be great if I could join a couple of their sessions a week then I wouldn't have to fight with the slow people in the medium lane all the time

I'm not going to be able to run until my sore hamstring goes away.

Evening!

Byeck - a snooze with a book sounds heavenly! MC Hope your masters session goes well.

Well, my No.2 girl and I had a lovely time. Was cold, rain, hail, thunder and lightening, dark by the time we came back home along the trail and a wonderful 2hours together.

So in the past 7 days I have:
swum 94 lengths (1 3/4 miles)
cycled 43 miles
run 15 miles
1 pilates class

I think tomorrow I'll just do a couple of hours of easy walking around London. Have and NCT study day so need to go in to head office.

chili - great training week, well done what were you doing with your girl? walking? running? always good to spend time with the kids doing something nice

I ran 10 miles, she cycled. Talked the whole way non-stop about everything.  we were dressed properly and lack of wind meant the so the awful weather wasn't really a problem. Yes, with four girls all so close together in age, they (and me!) love having one-to-one time.
