Hit and Miss

My body has not been my best friend lately and training has been a bit of hit and miss where I have spent most of my time feeling dead and ready to vomit!! This isn't after a monster session this is after like two runs, I've spent most of my time sleeping and even having a hyper 3year old in the house this still hasn't stopped me! This has been going on for about four weeks now so I have missed a massive part of my preparation for the outdoor season. The good news is that following a blood test there is no major underlying cause to this apart from high blood sugars and thankfully this week I finally feel like my body is back on side and ready to get back to work. So I'm taking small steps into returning back to full training and the plus side for me is it doesn't take me long to get back to full fitness.

The good thing about all this is that I've been able to spend some more time with Mia, having afternoons in the park (yes I do play on the slide haha). Me and Mia have a Pizza Hut Friday where we go for lunch, this is my rest day anyway and my day off work so I plan to continue this as we have so much fun. We've been doing some painting, however that stopped when I left the room for two minutes and Mia decided to paint my carpet and write her name on my front room door!! I brought Mia some face paint and now she won't let me take it off!! Me on the otherhand having so much free time on my hands have been doing designs on my own nails, and even if I do say so myself I think I have a hidden talent ;o)

Normally by now I would have opened up my outdoor season but this season I'm not in any rush to get out and race. The important thing for me right now is to lay down the training. 2012 is just around the corner and I want to be in the best possible shape for next year so this year I am going to be selective on my races and see how things go. I am going to test myself and see where abouts I am at when I line up for a very rare 150m at the Manchester Street Race next month! I've not done a 150 since I was about 15 so I'm sure it's going to be an experience.
