You're improving then!



Monday 2nd January
14:00- 22:00
First 'weigh-in' of the new year, this morning @ 9st 12Ib

Fairly steady run into work
Busy-ish afternoon, didn't look forward to the return journey
Managed a reasonable 28:03 Very Happy



Tuesday 3rd
10:00 - 18:00
Bike there & back

'Ackworth in the evening
very blustery/intermittant rain, but we still had 20+ turn up (more girls than blokes!)
A quick trip to the 'Water-Towre' & back at a good pace (5 miles in 35:23)



Wednesday 4th

08:00 - 16:00
Ran 'xc' throguh woods/river bank, setting off at 06:45, was a bit dark Laughing
Got soaked & covered in mud, due to overnight rain

Ran back in the reverse direction, not a bad time for the 'heavy going too!!)



Thursday 5th
Day-Off
In most of AM, went to Leeds in afternoon
'Ackworth' in the evning
Up to the 'Water-Tower' again, but we ended up with a new lady runner not far behind us (I timed my run there at 18:02; 2 & 1/2 each way, remember)
She was about 90 seconds behind, so Tom & myself took it easy on the way back to make sure she was safe (didn't know she was there on way out)




Friday 6th
Day-Off
In most of the AM, until a 5 & 1/2 mile cross-country in the aftneoon, in a steady 45:07
(it was the usual Goosehill/Kirkthorpe?heath/Half-Moon?Goosehill route)




Saturday 7th
14:00 - 22:00
Dragged out shopping* down to Meadowhal(Sheffield)l in the morning Rolling Eyes
I did end up with some new sunglasses though, as I said I'd take my Mumbos, or (first-generation!) Frogskins wioth me.
So, she bought me a pair of (black-iridium) 'Flak-Jackets'!!

Dropped off at work.
Ran home, fairly steadily

They'd been out to Bradford for a Curry, & brought me a Lentil Dahl home Very Happy Very Happy , & very nice it was too!!




Sunday 8th
13:30 _ 22:00
Bit of a lay-in

Should have rteally run hte Club handicap event at Fitzwilliam on the site of the 'PECO' 2, but decided against it
I don't like running flat out aginst the clock, as it's a bit of a time0-trial, the only way I could have done it was to pick off the runners in front one-by-one.
I'd said before Thursdays run that I might not attemd anyway

Will run to/home from work this afternoon, so that'll be a run every day this week!!




MIleage For Week = 45





*We're going to (that Alligator infested swamp known as) Florida for the first 2 weeks of February

Bit annoying, as I'll miss 'PECO 4, & a half-marathon that I'd entered as an incentive to increase my mileage/training Rolling Eyes Mad
Will be back in good time for the 'Ilkley Moor Fell-Race' though, & I'm taking my running kit with me, I'm hoping to do at least 20 miles each week (don't think there's many hills in Florida though??)
http://www.ilkleyharriers.org.uk/index.php?page=imr


Edit @ 23:35
Regarding Sundays run home from work - a superb (if I say so myself, & despite a slow first half!) time of 27:04, which equals the 'PB' for that route Very Happy

Monday 9th
09:00 - 17:0
Ran 'xc' to work, very wet/muddy underfoot through the woods

Coming back through on the way home was a bit fraught in a couple of places though Laughing


Tuesday10th
09:00 - 17:30
Bike to work, so a steady ride in both directions

'Ackworth' in the evening, a group run upto the Water-Tower, & round to 'the Pit' (site of an old Coliery, now an 'exectuive housiing estate')
Fairly good run up to the Tower, then first to 'the Pit', & also managed to be first back to The Angel; 5.97 @ 45:12 (not bad with a steady pace first mile)



Wednesday 11th
Day-Off
In most of the morning, parke up early at the School in the afternoon (having picked up a sandwich/Frijj at the Co-Op)
Set off up towards the Water-Tower, past it & the 'Plague Stone'
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/303586
Carry on down Castle Syke Hill.

http://gb.mapometer.com/running/route_1693865.html

http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/223843
Back along Station Road, and finish at the School; 5.57 miles @ 41:08 Shocked


Thursday 12th
Day-Off

In most of day, bar a trip into Wakefield
'Ackworth' - ran at the 'early-shift' in the evening, due to child-minding.

Just went up to 'The Windmill' & back (5 miles)




Friday 13th
09:00 -17:00
Quite a cold run into work, but decent for it
(treated myself to Porridge, and a Bacon & Egg sandwich on arrival)
It wasn't a bad run home. not too cold



Saturday 14th
09:00 - 17:00
A very cold morning
Bike

Out for a Curry to Bradford, in the evening




Sunday 15th
Annual-Leave...
So I could run the ''PECO' at Temple Newsam in the morning.

I came down heavily at one point after the descent from the 'Temple' folly & giving my knee a good bang & losing about 10 places Evil or Very Mad

Adrian, one of our runners, came down a lot heavier & 'face-planted' (bit higher up than me, & split his nose wide open - he'll have a scar from it)




Mileage For Week =36 & 1/2

Tuesday 17th
13:30 - 22:00
Ran in, still quite cold, but dry
Left knee stiff/sore after Sundays fall at the PECO
A very reasonable 28:03 on the way home Very Happy

14:00 - 22:00
A steady run in, but also a steady one home 29:06



Thursday 19th
Day-Off
In most of AM
Went to Leeds in afternoon, for a look round, almost bought new fell-shoes at 'Up & Running', as I fancied a pair of Bare-Grip 200

Out with 'Ackworth' in the evening, only a steady 5 (@ 41:40) to the Water-Tower and back, as knee was still a bit sore



Friday 20th
07:30 - 15:00
Ran in, in fell-shoes (RocLite 315) on the road, felt odd, a bit like wearing racing flats!!
Came home cross-country, whcih was the entire point for wearing them.
Quite a churned up/wet track. but did a decent 26:20



Saturday 21st

11:00- 20:00

14:00- 22:00
Bike, verging on some ice as I rode home




Friday 27th
13:00 - 22:00
In nost of AM, steady run there, as my left knee's having a bit a 'niggle' again.
I still blame it on ithat fall at the PECO (Sunday 15th), & exacerbated by the steep -if very soft - descents ar the 'Splash'

Slow run home @ 29:58

Day-Off Very Happy
Had a slight lay-in
Washed the Dyna-Tech in the morning Shocked

Some damned fast runners there

Almost 400 in the Senior Ladies!!!




Sunday 29th
Day-Off Very Happy
Didn't fancy the few fell-races on offer today
Went on the Club-ruun from Wintersett
About 22-34 of us turned up
A steady pace, but the group spilt up.
I plodded along with Pat & a couple of others (knee's still sore)
Tell it was a slow run, as the Garmin says;
Time = 1.26
Distance = 9.06 miles
Average Pace = 9:33/mile
Best Pace = 6:07/mile

We ran this route, but went down the eastern flank of the lake (NewMillerDam) between miles 3 & 4

http://www.pecoxc.co.uk/pages/race4.html


Jet-lag might not be the issue (landed @ 06:50 this AM, after leaving at 18:00 'Florida time' yesterday), as the knee's still not right.
I only managed about 10 miles over the course of the fortnight, as it was too awkward.

SWMBO was even trying to persuade me to got for a MRI scan (saw 2 private scanners/clinics in one small town!! - think they were in Lake Placid, along Highway 27)

Plus, I'm ashamed to say, I've put weight on Embarassed
(eating, but no hard exercise)

Monday 20th
08:00 - 16:00
Knee sore, so drove in, the 'blue-van' wasn't needed as SWMBO at home in a pot, as some lasrdy-arsed Yank woman reversed over her foot in one of those mobility scooters whilst in a queue at EPCOT (or was it Universal??, all the parks blurred into one-another)

Took her to A&E on Saturday, not laong after arriving home, & a hairline fracture of the 3rd metatarsal was diagnosed Rolling Eyes

Had quite a limp all day Evil or Very Mad



Tuesday 21st
08:00 - 16:00
Rode to work, knee wasn't too bad on bike (was hoping it's improving)
Sore though at work
SWMBO was at Orthopaedic clinic, & got told that it wasn't a fracture by the Consultant, so pot off Very Happy
Tried to run at the 'club-night', but only got just over a mile, before I had to give up & limp back Twisted Evil



Wednesday 22nd
08:00 - 16:00
Went in XKR, as knee was bad

During the course of the day I caught it on a trollley & it hurt like buggery!, so ended up booking in at A&E to make it official (in case it got bad enough to go home)
Took the fizzy Brufen & Co-Codamol offered, had an 'hands-on' examintion of the knee; & the relevant x-rays.
It was heartening to know there was no apparant Ligament damage, or joint/bone damage (barring a touch of calcification on the - I think - patellar ligament)

So I returned to work...............

Then an hour or so later I felt a bit 'iffy', so went to sit down on a handy bin (& opened the window)
Next thing I knew I was surrounded by the concerned faces of ODP's/theatre nurses!! Apparantly then I was dumped in a chair & taken to A&E.

On arrival, bloods were taken, patches of chest shaven for an EGC, blood sugar checked (@ '7')

Once I was able to speak in what I thought as was lucid manner, I explained to Sarah about the earlier pain-rellief (& the reasons)

She knew that I'd recently had that long-haul flight from Florida, & questioned me on 'query' Mosquito bites.

The 'D-dimer' came back positive, so the next thought was a 'PE' (Pulmonary Embolisom!)

I couldn't get a CT scan, as the on-call Radiographer was elsewhere & it wasn't deemed enough of a need for one during the night.

Was admitted onto the AAU, watched the clock till 01:10, then woken up at 01:45 to got to another ward!



Thursday 23rd
Had the CT at 09:00-ish (Radiographers had a list, so didn't question then at the time as to the results)

The Registrar told me later thatt the scan was negative, & that the 'D-dimer' possibly picked up on the inflammation/​tissue-damage of the knee, as appararntly happens at times


Oh yes, & I got told by the Doctor who dealt with me (Sarah; a Specialist Registar) that on a simply visual observation on being wheeled into A&E that she thought I was having a heart-attack Shocked
(pale white, sweating, but cold, etc.....)

Curious thing is though, that I wsan't ultrasounded for a DVT, if that was a possible diagnosis Confused





Mileage For Week = 2 Embarassed

I'm probably not going to try running till at least next weekend now

'Long haul flight' + not much moving (guy next to me asleep most of time) = DVT

Hence the suspicion that part of the clog broke off, travelled to lungs & partially blocking the Pulmonary Artery
