..always a bridesmaid...

..always a bridesmaid..well figuritively speaking in a squash sense..(well in my personal life 2 i guess LOL)
my team lost the GF last night..i now have 3 runners up glasses from the last 3 years...one was my fault..i lost to a girl(after only losing once during the season)but she had dedicated it to her dying grandma and played WELL above herself..the next GF someone else lost when they should have won..this one..had i played i more than likely would have won(i was 6/7 before injury and this was not the girl who beat me)..which in turn would have meant we would have won...it was just too much of a jump up for the girl below me..if you lose a player..you want it to be number 3 ..not number 1 or 2..anyway in short ..WE LOST

ok happy happy news:
20 min run today..ran for 14 mins before core fatigued..then 6..and also thought i might have an accident if i didnt have a loo break 8.5 laps in the 20 mins with these min/km (was trying to be around 6min/km
1 5:38 too fast
2 6:02
3 5:52
4 5:50
5 5:50
6 5:58
7 5:52
8 6:02 so in best goldilocks voice...just right.. except for first one
would have been much easier if i didnt have to remember each lap time and then convert..i really need a garmin... the last 200m tho there was a naughty voice in my head saying.. stride out..stride out.... so if you read this do you think
a) reformed patient jo...did not stride out
b) same old same old impatient jo????
ill tell you tomorrow! hehe

went to physio yesterday..who isnt letting me do as much as the sports doc would have..but i wheedled and whined until she let me at least increment to 30 minutes(no more) she had capped it at 20! and then every second run im am allowed to introduce a bit quicker pace..i wont do this yet..i know back not ready..
lots of core exercises to do...amazed at how weak they are..and how quickly they fatigue..naughty girl jojo

had a slight 'feeling in calf and ankle today..neither felt like the nerve..i reckon the calf is just cos im on the balls of my feet more

oh yeah..also did 700m swim and took angel nieces to the pool..what a great day..
..and even though i said i was going to cook i think im going to go out for dinner..

2nd oh yeah ..todays weight was back at last weeks weight..so my bidy fluctuation just sh$ts me to tears

3rd oh yeah ..nearly got WIPED out by a truck today...heart was PUMPING i can tell you(not my fault either...)
4th oh yeah..physio(aunts colleague) was looking at my knees and goes..whats with those scars on the knees..and im like ummm yeah theres about 6 scars there on each..scars upon scars upon scars..i got a very quizzical look...they look kinda bad this year..tho ..at least she didnt count my bruises like the MT..and there are plenty at the moment!jo be truthful..when arent they in plentiful supply!!!!

at least all my clothes were worn correctly today ;)

So excited that you are running- and running fast! Keeping it sensible too- is Bendigo looking likely??

You crack me up girl, you really do :0)

Good to hear that you're increasing the distance slowly. You'll be back to your old pace and distance in no time!

I am relieved you dressed yourself correctly!
