5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

I always used to map my runs afterwards, it seemed to be the most accurate way really, but yes frustrating when you're a little bit under!

Gym again this morning with dd 2, did add in a 40 min run at 6.1. Very pleased as getting a little easier... Plus quality time..

Then took dd3 shopping.

£50 u gov landed in account. Plus another £5 swagbucks.

Mountain of ironing climbed and won.

Plan long run tomorrow and chores...

Congrats on the ironing mountain.

Good luck with today's long run. I strangely look forward to them. Well done on yougov payout, I am awful for checking for surveys. Really must do better!

HelenDaveKids

Yes pleased with survey cash which I tend to do whilst watching telly. Have a quite a bit in my Amazon account, about £188. Get quite a bit from tcb too, through holiday booking but my main drip of tcb money is groupon.

I managed long run Sunday but quite slow. Dave's hip a problem but also felt a bit tight chested. Checked hr in evening as didn't improve and was 38. Toyed with having day off sick but I struggle with this, so went in.
Felt pants and so mid morning checked hr and was 30! I have never seen a hr that low, one of my deputies said it's probably machine, so checked it manually and yes still 30. She said but you'd need to feel awful for a hr of 30, errr yes... Had a walk up to cardiology and got another ecg done, have ventricular ectopics when it was reviewed, they said, as long as you feel ok.... I don't!!! The long and short is, that they are very dangerous if you have heart failure which I know I don't have but otherwise carry on.. anyway came home and ate sweets. Still feel pants so not sure whether to have a few days off. Currently googling ventricular ectopics..
So no run tonight... felt really cross about it as worked really hard on times, pace and distance. A few days off I think.
Embarrassingly the nurse who did my ecg I used to work with, the nurse specialist reviewing it, I know and people get stopping to chat, as several used to work with..

I can't help thinking at times, how unwell I've been this year compared to previous year when I was 5 stone heavier..


Dd 1 came home, v upset, exam went very badly despite her spending literally hours revising... her life is over.... Have fed her chocolate and hugs.

CathT

Helen I do hope you are having some time off sick. Please listen to your body.

Hugs for dd too, hope her exam isn't the disaster she fears.

Hope your week gets better xx

HelenDaveKids

Thanks cathT. Rang in sick, hardly slept and still felt tight chested at 6, so felt wasn't worth even thinking about. Nipped youngest 2 to school as pouring it down, oldest had left much earlier for pre school revision. Went back to bed and just up in time for huth.. My chest now feels very bruised rather than tight which is an improvement. Least my heart isn't sat in my neck as felt like earlier.
Sofa day me thinks..

Re: Fitbit, I do have one... but I used to term myself the 'anti-fitty' because a lot of my fitness (such as it was) was more gym/pool based and I rely more on a Polar heart rate monitor.

It was interesting seeing some of the distances covered in some tournaments and is handy for catching non-specific exercise. But for me it's back to MFP and the gym/pool

HelenDaveKids

Got me looking again. Heart strap or no heart strap? Although seeing as mine was 30 on Monday, May be worth the extra pounds.

Car wouldn't start at work Thursday. Rare moment when was out the building on time but mostly due to feeling exhausted (a wee moment were could have cried when wouldn't start but sucked it in)
Rac out and garage bill was £414 …… ouch. Alternator and battery.Plus leaking oil filter.

Gym with dd 2 again. 2 hour session so loads of weights as well as cardio. Chest tight so plan a gentle run tomoz.

Payday Tuesday...

CathT

Ouch at the car repair, that's steep! I love that you and dd go to the gym together, it's a really lovely thing to do.
