The fun we had on an adventure in the lakes when I had to learn to fish and then climb a tree.

Gym Training

Since Kellie want back to school and me at University and working towards the 10K race in October I have been pretty busy, and OH job hunting and working on own business.

This week I have really worked hard since last Wednesday and so glad I am now to rest in training for the next two days. The run on wednesday was good and my legs seems to be holding and getting stronger.
I asked for a hard PT and I got it, I do not think I have ever until that day said to him I can not. It was a good session but it was hard, make no doubts on that well to me it was. I wanted to do better.

Friday I really focused in spin and closed out the rest of the class to focus on what I had to do, it kind of linked in to the training we did the day before about getting in to the zone, focusing.

Yesterday I tried a new spin class, the instructor had as working in keeping a steady rate through out the class, a bit like marathon distance training, but at a lower level. It was a nice class.

Today was just running again yes I can do the distance and the foot seems to be holding, but I feel like we are so close to the race and that really now I would like to do another run in the week to work on improving the run if this seems right.

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

The strength comes in the not ever going up no matter how awgul the situation. But the trust does go. But keeping going and peace can be found.

Gym Training

Its been a bit of an odd week for training, I was fed up on Tuesday but as Steve says and he was right, my training is Ad hoc due to the children being off and I can not focus or put together a propery training programme. But still I have done well to keep it going.

I want running from home yesterday it was a good 6 mile run and I ran well, but I find I tend not to warm up or stretch off as well as I do when I run from the gym, so today I paid for it with my hip playing up. I was out at 6am in the morning, and I missed the rain hard to do this year you usually get caught. By 7.30 I had showered and finished with exercise for that day. Only 6 more weeks or 5 training weeks until the 10K race.

Spin was a good class I enjoyed it but oh boy did my hip play up and its my own silly fault for not stretching off as well as I do when I run from the gym. I have fun in spin as I tend to go off in my own little world and look up and whilst I am busy peddling along in the rolling hills or down rivacre vally in to Eastham Village the rest of the class have sat back down in to their saddles or in some cases got out of thier saddles.

My Daughter

Carry on with the work my daughter, She is a little girlgrowing up but I think six weeks hol is too long already she is feeling low his week. Sitting on her DS did not really helping as it broke it and buying a new one is not something that can happen at the moment.

Stronger Kelly clarkson Abuse

The girl is free and now she stands on the hill wind blowing, I wanted to show the difference from the girls fear at being beaten yet again by her abusier and her strength now she is free.

To My Daughter Slipping through fingures ABBA

Waking in the morning I wanted to show having fun at the breakfast table and than her sleepy in the morning just wakeing up. i want to see Brave this week with my daughter from the trailers I was not looking forward to this. But it is a very good movie, A most for mother and daughter to see together. Its about the relationship between a mother and daughter and what brings them together.

The other point from an Art History point is it takes the idea of Tangled a step forward by Disney the Hero is the Female a strong female gone are the Disney pretty Princess but A real girl. Tangled was the first real girl, but still we had the prince of sorts. Here the Princess id the Protegenist, she holds the story together and it is the Mother and daughter that in the end save the day. The mother and daughter are both strong characters. Its a great story and made daughter cried at the end.
