good...dd oyu get it..am a very very pissd off person... be warned PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO TELL ME HOW GOOD THIS MOB ARE..suck it up and keep it under your hat cos i want to just be mad with them for now.....
O.P.Sports Med: i finally after friggin sround for oh i dont know f7cking forever made an appt ..cos barney is being a right royal f7ck at the moment..
..skived off early from work.. took me about 45 mins to get there cos of stupid f7cking traffic
..after waiting for half hour they call me up to inform me that hte doc has been with a patient since 3(its now 5:10..so they would have f7cking known before i left home) and yes im sure it was necessary and i know that whatever they were doing yada yada yada...but you know what..right at this momnet i dont f7cking care... they told me if i wanted to wait for an un-f7cking-determined amount of time I could wait and hte dr would see me..but to note that the people who were still waiting in front of me had been waiting for an hour and a half....wait for it...... SO FAR
..so is it omething a physio could help you with(can someone please tell hten if a f7cking physio couldve helped me i wouldve asked to see a f7cking physio) managed to not say this even though tempted..i replied instead ..NO i have already been seeing a physio for 5 months...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how about a mon appt then..... no i have physio
how about tues....no i have massage therapist
...do you want to make another appt time.... i seriiuosly would have LOVED to see the expression on my face..it would have been a DEATH STARE alright!
..lets just say on the car trip on the way home makes this blog thus far look positively G-rated..... jojo was an angry little camper..I love wasting 2 hours of my time...I wish it could happen more often... hmmm who do i see about that..LOL oh I know f7cking OP.SM

again dont even think of telling me how good they are..i will prob eventually go back there after hearing so much f7cking good stuff about them..
..anyway I have a pub crawl tonight.... and i would assume barney is too f7cking scared to be naughty today or tomorrow

..wow what a TANTY!!!!!
also sorry to Stu who just had to listen to a barrage of anger......bet you were glad you sent that text LOL
..oh yeah and sorry for all the swearing..im sure there are sailors who are currently blushing

LOL ok i feel a bit better now..(and a litle ridiculous too)..aint nothing like a good tanty!

..does that count as a compromise????

..ummmmmmm.. how shall i explain my logic..cos there is logic...

..i have only been for a run last thursday for 5kms and tried on tuesday but too sore.. well today back was a bit sore (Im sure its hte sacrioiliac joint pain not hte bulge..i also realised just how constant the pain has been..actually cant remember a completely discomfort free period..anyway so i was a little sullen and mopey and decided if i was going to have pain anyway then i might as well have a run and STILL have pain..see there is some logic in that... also i really think that this back is going to hurt forever so i might as well just suck it up and only get really worried when it is the referred pain(ummm but no squash i couldnt even contemplate lunging today)

so i decided i was going to run 8.5kms..now i know what your thinking..given youve only been runnign 5..is that a wise move...well i had hte internal struggle the whole way, i was telling myself how stupid i was if i ran 8 kms cos no way could i run on weekend and then my evil side was like..... you probably cant run anyway on weekend so why not run 8kms anyway....
sigh..i gave in cos im a good girl and only ran the 5km at 5:06km pace... given that my back was unconfortable nearly the whole run and the last 1km i could feel EVERY single step i decided not to push it ..i did concentrate on short quick steps up the hill which did seem like less impact on my back than the longer slower strides and i tried to run 'lightly' for the whole run..
my back is REALLY tight now and its a bit of an effort to bend over to pick stuff off the floor(was trying to clean my room..but may have to skip it..its not like any boys want to come to my place anyway...
..it was all very depressing really..whilst i enjoyed the runnning, i didnt overly enjoy the discomfort..but having said that i was glad to get out and go for a run...feeling like a real porky pig at the moment... have been eating like complete crap..
..and my ex texted me for my bday yesterday which is nice and for the first year in quite a while i DID NOT go and see him for a bday ..... um you know

thank god its friday tomorrow..supposed to go on pub crawl but dont feel in the mood..out for bday drinks on sat...nothing big tho...coupla drinkies and since its my bday drinks im sure barney will let me have a little boogey...pretty pretty please
..after all...i did compromise today for him...didnt i?
oh yeah bday dinner was great,,my nieces are too cute for words..will post some pics..actually maybe thats why back is bad today..a fair amount of lifting nieces yesterday

..can i sing to myself ..lol

happy bday to me :) had a good day even though it started with a half hour preschool parent teacher meeting and had sport duties after school too!!!!!

havent even heard from my mother which makes me laugh(mainly cos she's a lunatic)who on mothers day when i hadnt sent her a message by 3 pm cracked the sads(why 3 pm??your guess is as good as mine) and sent all kinds of abusive messages.. if she doesnt call me at all, thats all cool too.lol..she probs thinks shes making me mad or making a point or something the silly sausage, what she doesnt realise is that we are not all lunatics and are not really fussed:) iys a day..i dont really care..i do my bday stuff usually to make other people happy..
..having said that i get to see my beautiful angel nieces...i just love them to bits, my gorgeous sister, my very funny brother,lovely sis in law, fave nephew, darling nieces and slightly eccentric father(no wonder im a little...well you know..LOL)... it will be fun(well it will be after i down a couple of wines LOL LOL LOL nah theyre a great bunch
went for a run yesterday and barney sat me down for a chat..it went something like this
b:jojo
jj:yes
b:you know how i was sore all last week and you had to take nurofen everyday
jj:mmm
b:and then you went for a run thursday anyway
j:mm
b:and hten wore huge heels on friday
jj:errr yeah
b:and then on sunday..astronomical heels followed by a whole lot of dancing
j:mmm
b:and i let you yeah and didnt complain
jj:mmmm
b:and on mon you canceled my physio appt
jj:mmm
b:well on tuesday when you decided to run without giving me enough time to recover i had had enough...OK

so when i went for a run with the boys on tues(just the warm up..2kms max.. my back was incredibly sore.. was very unhappy.. had a massage last night... corrie did the hip flexors yowsers.. i still feel bruised today(im not) but she was pushing in good i can tell you

ok enough of an essay, im out for a very early 6:30 dinner :)

ooh and yeah baby::: we asked the dufus flatmate to ove out ::yeah baby
Thanks for the bday greetings...

..and it was all completely elegant until.........

the wedding was yesterday...
mannnnnnn... am i tired///although jut got woken up by my drip flatmate and had a full on argument outside my house(grrrr more later) so am wide awake now and a little frustrated/...ok back to the wedding..
..so maybe it was nice to get told how gorgeous i looked all day, so maybe it was nice to see my best friend blissfully happy and wearing hte most magnificent dress ever.. so maybe it was nice to be walking aorund like a glamour puss getting my photo taken all day, so maybe it was nice to spend hte evening drinking and dancing.............
...um today that all faded into insignificance when my alarm went off.OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!could it really be time to get up and get a cab to work..OMG..serously(and the alarm had been going off for 20mins before i even woke up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!double year 11 maths was tough tough work(I still stank of alcohol too) bad bad bad..
although i did make one good decision, well 2 really..the first was not to kick on after the reception(i still only got home about 1am) and the second was NOT to let the extremely HOT younger guy(he was the guy who sang too..and i am well known for being a groupie and he wasnt that young but he was under 30-probs 28ish i think????) pick me up..it was a very funny conversation we were having..i wont go into it but it was very amusing
..caught a cab down to my car today(another 35 bucks) i have spent a fortune this weekend... at least it can settle down now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah the title..so i was looking all glam and elegant(well maybe not when i smashed a glass when i was f&cking around and dancing silly and knocked a f ull glass of red on the floor with my butt..LOL smash) anyway got home and i was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busting i couldnt even get in my door.. i literally had to wee in the garden bed right outside my door...i seriously could not make it inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! talk about elegant!!!!NOT!LOL hopefully no one was looking..
had to cancel my physio appt and i have to say i am uper impressed with barney, he let me walk around on huge heels all day, let me boogey on down!!!and has not even woken up sore(wondering if hte week and a bit of no running has actually caused that????IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY better this week)
okey doke will poist some pics later tonight..
o yeah had a stand up argument with my stupid flatmate in the driveway..my week and she was trying to tell me i couldnt park til some time and im going ..im off to be now so you will have to park behind me and hten move yours in the morning..anyway she yelled and yelled and yelled and was rude again!!!!!!!!!! and hten she called me a liar...she mentioned some note that was written NOT by me.. and i said i didnt write it and she is like..i dont trust you.............. seriously..if you EVER EVER EVER EVERE EVER EVER EVER want to make me mad, then call me a liar.. i am pretty damn honest and hte worlds worst liar anyway...but how dare she...sooooooo angry. if i get re-employed by this mob i will just move out.im not putting up with that crap..will speak to other flatmate(who gets annoyed with her as well) and unless other girl moves out i will.. maybe i just will anyway...so blinking mad its not funny...
..OMG did i mention mad... fortunately i only get mad for reallyreally short periods, its like a parabola(LOL-geek-obviously an inverted one) it has a very high peak..

okay this mad(nah not really.it was about half hour ago now)..but i have decided im just not going to even talk to her unless i really have to..shes just a COMPLETE moron
..ok think nice thoughts again about your bestest gf getting married..did i mention how stunning she looked..oh and apparently i am the least girly girl i know..an you should have seen me trying to endure getting hair and make up done for over two hours..OMG.did i mention 2 hours..but even freaking worse...it took ALL night th night before doing nails...f&ck a duck..rolls eyes.. apparently htey have like 40 nailpoishes each..thats obscene..now undies i can understand... anyway i thoguht it was quite funny that it was my one little one that we bot ended up wearing...


..

..hangs head..duly admonished

..having said that, my back feels a little better today..dont get me wrong- it still is aching a bit but a lot free-er so i dont know if hte run helped or not but it didnt aggravate it..could also be the cumulatoive affect of the anti inflams i have been taking for a week too i guess..nowhere near as much leg uncomfortable-ness today...
school was good.. put in the application..
..had a fun day today.. had to laugh in period 6 year nine maths..when i was helping a student and the boy behind me put a rubber glove on his head like a chicken(not over his nose only his hair...and im like yeah yeah take it off... and then the boy in hte back row quipped..but miss ..thats his thinking cap.. i seriusly laughed for a while(obviously i have the maturity of a year 9... there was some other joke they told that was terrible..and i still laughed.. had to be mega bitch with my year 8's..sigh again..but i know they actually prefer it that way ..one of the boys even made the comment about how much more control i have than the lady before me.

oh yeah thats what i forgot to write...we all know im a wee (pretty apt) bit ditzy and dont always pay attention..at xcountry ive said to dee im busting..so we went to the toilets..ive gone in..noticed a big silver thing..thought to myself oh i wonder if thats where they wash dogs..oh well about to start getting changed and dee, laughing is like JO you are in the mens toilet..pmsl....LOSER LOL..yep that big silver thing was the urinal!!!

went and bought wedding present etc today... also was going down the escalator and then noticed the wrapping paper i wanted, so i started running back up the escalator(which was going down)...ummmmmm jo your clumsy(and last time you did this you fell over and had all that white gunk oozing out your knee cos it cut in so deep) and unmmmmmmmmm..in case you forgot...you have a double disc bulge...dufus...fortunately this only took a coupla seconds to sink in and i turned around and went all the wat down and up!!!! seriously jojo!shakes head... oh yeah and money doesnt miraculously just enter your account.. if you want to use a card that youve never used before, you ummmmmm have to put money in said account(this credit card thing catches me off guard you see..

oh well made it home in one piece, slightly sore back will take some nurofen, going ver to a friends house soonish, still need to make wedding card, wrap the gifts, sat morning sports, then be at my friends by 5(have been summoned at that time til oh about midnight sunday..back hurts just thinking about those heels......hm may need to buy some of those seamless undies too i think....

have a great night,.. thanks for all not being too mean when i was such an idiot yesterday... i deserved a smack alright mwah mwah

..how long did it last

..how long did this credit card last...a week????i am such a loser(LOL) and i mean that in EVERY sense of the word... if there was a world championship for losing stuff... i would win it FOR SURE..
i didnt even realise but had lost my purse..(it was returned to my doorstep..although the credit card seems to be missing(Im trying to believe that i just misplaced the card but ummmm all the other cards are still there...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggh..its soooooooooo annoying being me sometimes..

on a more serious note..the back is giving me quite a bit of pain..constant..wearing you down type stuff.. so tonight after deciding DEFINITELY not to go for a run, woke up from a 15min nap and well went for a run(i was feeling a bit depressed by barney )..problem is i think im having the not good leg pain..so it was very silly..
..the only redeeming feature was that i didnt push at all(5.1kms at 5:22min/km) and whilst i was running the back actually wasnt feeling painful... my philosophy(it overtook me for a very short period of time///was that if it hurt anyway..maybe i should go and i would stop it if i felt pain..not good thought process joey..should have gone water running)my self imposed rule of not running on days that i had to take nurofen for the back pain was not adhered to
..smack on bottom :(
..anyway i am actually considering going back to the sports doc(as much as that pains me to say it..) and not very happy about this lower leg pain

anyway going to go buy my friends wedding pres..without my c/card obviously
..i suck i suck i suck i suck...and so does barney...grumble grumble mutter mutter

..quiet little joey bean

yeah, still pretty quiet today..voice is still a bit raspy after laryngitis last week...
oh and wasnt home last night til vlate.. had a massage after school.. it was sooooooo funny..i was yabbering away to corrie(a fantastic MT) anyway she was elbowing away and im like yeah its not really hurting today...you got nothing(yeah i think im pretty funny..was pmsl..she laughed too cos usually people arent saying that to her..but after the first day where i was described as steel rods, nothing really can compare.. but she got her own back on me.. i have a couple of ticklish spots(my hips) and in particular my feet..its like im possessed if someone tickled my feet.. anyway she accidentally tickled me and im like...oooooh in a girly scream which she thought was funny obviously... cos she actually deliberatly tickled me later..and im just gald i didnt happen to kick her..i spasm. she was phsl... shes like..Im surprised you can be tickled while ive got my elbow right into your calf.. seriously though..tickling hurts me way more than any real pain can... i hate it with a passion...i am a very very very very very very ticklish person...
..and apparently very prone to electric shock.. i got about 12 shocks today whilst teaching my year 12's(i was getting scared to touch the board) the kids thought it was hysterical(it was period 6 so i guess anything seems funny..especially your teacher jumping cos she KEEPS getting ZAPPED....

anyway am not running today, have not run since saturday..back is still sore..and i know that i REALLY overdid it..running fast whilst back was sore enough to take nurofen is not a great idea.. anyway so the week leading into bridesmaid duties.. instead of eating not much and exercising HEAPS so i look skinnier, im eating like crap and NOT doing any exercise(also have been ridiculously busy..

..oh yeah and ive decided im a complete freak..i still havent applied for this permamnent job..i seem to have commitment issues..lol.. im a bit flighty.. and i like to feel if i wanted to, i could just leave..not feel locked in!! im ok once im actually locked in..but i get all antsy in the meantime..and we're only talking about a damn job.. its a good job, pays well and will look fantastic on my resume.. i need to get my A into gear and apply.. its not that different really with other aspects of my life i guess..lol
jojo..you need to grow up and be an adult!!!! for a semi smart gal..you really are a complete dolt!

..even im over talking..seriously

..i was just on the phone witha friend and was like..im over talking...yep those words sprouted OUT OF MY MOUTH..can ya believe it

parent teacher night tonight..got home a bit ago and a soo tired...
im like an overtired baby..i feel sooo tired i could cry...lol..but still wound up.so having a wine
..too tired to be witty..dont know what my excuse the other days are..lol..but a weak fatigued lol at that..
gotta go..my brain hurts!

..do you ever do something different

..we get so rigid and caught up in our ways..so whilst i was getting dressed today i decided am going to do something different everyday..no matter how small.. today i changed the order i got dressed(obviously the undergarments have to go on first....IM NOT SUPERMAN LOL) and have worn my hair in a new style ive never worn..
..so to yesterdays run..didnt post much cos i was a bit grumbly ..what with being so freaking sore..i was struggling to pick stuff off the ground after the run :( anyway alot of hot water bottling and a bath and a nurofen and barney has stopped having a hissy fit and is just sulking a little..im sure hes thinking about those heels i have to wear at the wedding next week.. itll be ok barney

so 28:05 was fairly happy on the course considering a)i have barely ANY kms in the legs,and i found it tough going..it took me 5kms to catch the 12 year old running for our club.she was about 20m ahead of me for sooooooo freaking long, and this one girl anna and i had a bit of a battle(diff club), she was ahead, i overtook up hills, shed overtake again,id overtake etc..caught her again with 1km to go and im going cmon anna and shes like im stuffed..take it home strong jo dont let me catch you..my reply dont let me get away anna..come on... she was only 5 seconds behind so it was pretty close... as it usually was last year too
..have the wedding rehearsal today..and getting the academic gown off morsey runs
..trivia at coburg last night to raise funds for deeanne nobbs who is off to holland in a week to represent australia in the 100km championships..you go girl!! i donated a bottle of JD scotch,a 6 pack of beers and 2 purses from vietnam to the auction.. and some cash at the end of the night
obviously good kharma for me.. cos when there was a raffle(4 prizes) i won twice???? i won a small picnic hamper with inbuilt cooler and a choice between a sports bag and a running jacket..mens size M was absolutely going to swim on me so i took the sports bag
somewhere this afternoon i have to fit in a bucketload of marking before year 12 parent teacher night tomorrow night..already feeling stressed cos still not much voice and talking til 10 isnt going to help after a full on day of teaching
might edit later after the wedding rehearsal and coffee with morsey..time for a gossip sara eh?

got home after 1 on a tram..awake at 7:30(just b4 i got sent a msg from a smart ass friend of mine telling me to wake up...yerrr funny if i HAD been asleep..NOT ;) ..got up just after 8, went down to sat sport(aths) where my barney(back) was being a NAUGHTY little brat.. also made me realise i have pretty much had constant back pain this week..so may need to have a few days off running after XC running..
if i wasnt racing today i would already have taken some nurofen(but i really think i need to be able to feel if it gets to sore...which i will be VERY after hte cross country.. i think i will table my earlier plans of bringing out my A_game today and try to stick to a slightly quick not flat out pace
..this week is the worst it has been for a while..and i cant work out if the pain down near my ankle is a)referred pain b)ankle pain from my double ligament strain2 yrs ago cos it sometimes aches a bit c)jojo being paranoid

anyway..am hot water bottling back at the moment..so fingers crossed for me today.. i will update later after the run this afternoon

sorry for all the swearing :) me nice girl really :)

edit: cross country..will give details tomorrow 28:05 for the 6km so 4:40min/kms.. have pulled up sooooooo sore..will take a few days off running... you all have permission to smack me if i run before tuesday

..no running..but crazy busy weekend..

..after a late night last night, i waaaaaaaay struggled to get outa bed...there was no bright eyed and bushy tailed thats for sure..
..back not as sore today as yesterday thank god! and i got one of my friends to help me with my tests to see if it was bad back pain, or just back pain.. still had strength in toes so not too bad and can walk on heels..without foot falling flat to ground
yes..yesterdays session was faster than meant(didnt feel fast tho) and particularly with a sore back..
..am off out with jay tonight to HM theater to see some show(queen??).. should be an absolute hoot.. meeting her at transport in an hour.. so will have to hightail it outa here..am soooooo hungry though i could eat my arm...that doesnt bode well for staying away from junk..
..and i didt eat my two pieces of fruit that i said i was going to try to do everyday for a week... I suck

..job at my new school being advertised this week, VP grabbed me today to let me know it was being advertised and i reckon about 5 or 6 other people are like...so jo..i would be EXPECTING you to apply..sheesh...i get it!!! no guarantee ill get it but i will at least apply i spose(altho im a very lazy job hunter..i hate selection criteria..

ok enough waffling from miss jo..everyone have a good night..
think of me at 9am tomorrow when i have sat morning sport after a few drinkies with jay(may be good and restrained....hmmmmmm that certainly sounds like me doesnt it LOL LOL
breeeeeeeeeeeeathe joey bean breathe
oh yeah XC tomorrow.. woo hoo..if barney is a happy camper, i might actually try out a bit of speed(if i have any!!!!!)

..before you jump all over me..

..now i know what people are going to say..
i woke up with a sore back today..had to take a nurofen today..and was kinda uncomfy most of the day..marking was taking its toll..
..annyway today was a run day.. so i was to-ing and fro-ing about what to do... i was wanting to do about 8-ish kms so this is what i set out to do..lets see niggle in the first 500m, just before the 2km mark a bit sore for a bit..and was trying to work out whether to turn off and just do 5km..i could hear bloody stu's voice in my head telling me to look at hte bigger picture(xcountry on saturday)..shhhh..the last thing i need is more voices in my head..like there arent enough already LOL..KIDDING

.. ran past the turn off and then decided..or yelled at myself internally...jo you had to take nurofen today..5kms is max so i doubled back(see i was kinda good), so still a few more sore patches throughout which wasnt overly pleasing..not ridiculously sore but well enough..and yes i pulled up sore... hot water bottle will have to be brought out...
..now before i get jumped all over for running when back was sore before hand.. if i only ran when i hadnt had a sore back ,there would have been a total of about oh um 4 runs in the last 4 months!! but at least i changed it back to 5kms..

..school was busy, marking just about killed my back... get lots of positive feedback tho which is nice! caught a year 12 wagging my class.. hes in a wee bit of trouble now! got my voice mostly back today..even had a relatively fun year 8 class after lunch..they just about launched themselves out of their seats when i asked for volunteers, even the boy doing the catch up test was volunteering..it was kinda funny

..hope joey is feeling better after her op, morsey welcome back and thanks for the gown, em cant wait to see you at XC,jh i think re your coment i should have said IM actually a pain in the butt, and jay ill see you tomorrow at the queen thingy

oh and i may have to apologise to my colleagues tomorrow..seriously.have not been able to talk properly since last wednesday..was a bit of a motor mouth towards the end LOL.. i know i know its very hard to believe ;)

oops forgot.. 4:52min/kms for the run...felt cruisey..sightly tweaky shin

..another quiet day for miss jo

..or should i say an enforced quiet day for me.. my back today could ONLY be described as sore today.. i was also very sore from the massage as well..especially in the glute
..bucketloads of homework again... and i seriouly struggled through the day since i still cant really talk.
..no exercise today.. except for the rehab work that i need to do...many many lunges etc.. so a pretty so so day really today...had to just be quiet ...which just is not a natural state for me.. people seem to find it HILARIOUS to just make comment after comment knowing i can barely reply..
hmmmph is all i have to say to that.. and my work load has significantly increased.... i have now been allocated saturday sport plus an hour and quarter of sport after school on mon,tues,wed and thurs

..at least 3 of the days are athletics i guess...

..oooh and i may have just bought a garmin 305(well i tried to but forgot that i lost my cc and had to change details so am now very unsure as to which cc i paid with.. im a smart cookie bean..me.. NOT and it just wont tell me...oh well..i am definitely buying one shortly(given i had a nice little bonus today

..okey dokey..gotta go be miss conchy nerdburger...ciao..

..nup..hadnt forgotten

..how to run that is.. i was a little concerned that maybe i had forgotten how to run after sat's atrocious attempt(recall the rolling on the ground trying not to spew) admittedly though being a ble to breathe helped.ie not being sick.. i was debating whether to run at all today..was having some pain/niggle in the glute at the back(which is worrying)and some ache in the lower leg(again slightly worrying)..so i waited and i waited and i waited(ok that was about 3 mins..im impatient ok!) and then decided if i dont run today, i cant get in 2 runs this week b4 xcountry..so out i went..
plan..5.1kms at a slower rate..ie 5:20 ish..was congratulating myself on how much better at pacing i was(although i did power up the final hill) and how easy 5:20 was compared to a month ago(i was cruising tonight..felt vstrong) anyway when i finished id actually run 5 min kms..which isnt fast fast but faster than i meant!!but EASY!!!

had to stay home today as i have laryngitis,cant get out of tomorrow as parent interview that i cant reschedule..
so whats a gal to do on a day off...... when she cant talk..... ummmmm you probably guessed...shopping...well i left my hot water bottle(yes im a nana who takes a hot water bottle to sit on a couch..its purple and cute too..it keeps barney happy) at my friends house..so of course..I HAD to go buy a new one..and while i was there i bought a warm fluffy jacket,some socks,a sports bra,some other bits and pieces..feeling shop-xausted..will finish this later...gotta go have massage,..been called up to the plate early

..barney and jojo make friends

..ok so i have a whole new understanding of barney..and i wasnt playing very nice previously.. i went and saw my aunt again today..and seriously they make their point good and proper about how serious yada yada yada..

..anyway my physio was super happy with me today..she is very happy in the increase in strength of inner quads..and the core strength improvement in lunges is impressive(her words)..bridges i couldnt do a few weeks ago are easy.woo hoo

..i brought up squash drills and didnt get clobbered on the head..we negotiated instead to angled lunges(id asked for lunges with a squash racquet) maybe in 2weeks :) but she did mention on numerous occasions no squash til december
and and and (breathe)
even when i said but what if it gets better quicker..she was like we'll see
..and hten we discussed me doing 10-12kms on weekends(slow pace)
and and and(breathe jojo)
then i said as i was leaving i was wanting at some stage to do consecutive days(even of the second one was only a km and a half..she eyeballed me and said let me think about it..but was smiling at me...(i dont know exactly what i sadi but hse laughed and said im not an idiot jo i KNOW you want to do consecutive days) no getting in trouble..woohoo..and it didnt hurt her making a nice comment about my weight too!!!!
woohoo.. there was serious improvement this week...and my aunt did the strength tests and they were happy(and then she said again you do realise how serious loss of power is..many doctors send straight to neuro and then in for operation.. eek thankj god i had a different doctor)

completely lost my voice today, made teaching very hard today.will take tomorrow off(not sick so it will be nice day :)

um um um um in case you cant tell, im an excited little pussycat... jojo gives barney an affectionate little pat...good boy barney

..a creature of habit

..bridesmaid duties for the hens night last night..had a blast spent money at a faster rate than i can run these days ;) got home about quarter to 5 after vic decided she wanted to do a maccas run..there was a girl in there who actually wanted to have a fight with me..was very funny.. i thought a chip packet was empty but when i went to throw it at vic it wasnt(yes im mature all right) and all the chips flew backwards over my head and hit the girl behind me(me laughing didnt seem to be helping the situation) LOL
so been lazy gal..obviously no running today..and not sure about tomorrow..im having some not very nice leg pain(not huge but a bit worrying as to where it is..i have taken some anti inflamms just in case..have done the heel walk test so it cant be too bad)..i hate telling my friends about my back who are in the medical field,they are all like "loss of power in the foot,ohhh and not being able to walk on your heels(ie cant pull foot up..jo thats REALLY serious"...derr fred..im living this shit thanks ... youre not helping.. can i please go sit in the corner..no..bridesmaid duties so i was bossy little so had so ...to make sure i got a photo of everyone with vic before my batteries go flat
..anyway last night there was a girl who has had exactly the same injury as me..even to the foot pain and loss of sensation,couldnt sit,couldnt drive,couldnt dress properly,all exactly the same as me(not now of course) and she has had to have a back operation.. talking to her made me realise how lucky i actually am that my physio is actually letting me run..most people probably wouldnt be yet..im sure the fact that i was so fit and healthy pre injury and spent so much water time doing rehabilitation helped the recovery process.. i think if you didnt do exercise pre- it would be really hard to get into it because of the pain... as she said when youve got constant pain, sometimes you can give in to it.. so it was a very enlightening talk and really did make me think about where my back is and to try to be a little more respectful of it than i have been..so hugs for barney the back for being so accomodating..instead of just grumbling at him..he is trying very hard..and hes a bit up against it i guess when i keep hitting him on the head with a hammer ... yes yes i know ..i do live on another planet..you should come visit tho..it is lots of fun ;)

..and its all so very atttractive

..ok so its 830 on a saturday.. who even knew thre was such a time... i was a good girl and home by 1:15-ish.. so wanted to get a cab as i was FREEZING but had to get the tram instead.as i was unable to hail one..although i have to say ..I HAV FINALLY WORKED OUT WHICH ONES ARE HAILABLE-ie the lights thingy..yes it may have taken me more than a decade but woo-hoo
..should i run today..coughing and spluttring, amd phlegm girl..yep attractive..still trying to decide..sore thraot..nearly lost voice yesterday,probably wont be able to run tomorrow..someone kick me up the butt and tell me to go ..please

although having said that i was pretty happy with my ensemble last night..tight black skinny leg pants, sparkly purple top, cute long black cardy,nice silver neckalce and hot black boots!!! althugh feet pretty sore by nd of night..
..it wasa bit weird at dinner..i didnt notice there we 5 girls 5 guys even..and when we all sat down..i sat down randomly(or so i thought) and then the guy i sit with at work sat with me..and i was marvelling how it just happened to go boy girl boy girl..am=nd hes like ..that was deliberate..people are orchestrating..and im like...nooooo..i sat randomly..and hes like yeah and then i had to quickly sit next to you... just WEIRD i reckon...i obviously live in la la land.
..anyway dinner was beautiful..an Longrain in little bourke..the veal was absolutely magnificent..we all shared buffet style which was great..no dessert for me of course..
..umm am i the only girl in the world who doesnt really like dessert??????? girls go crazy when dessert is mentioned..dont stand between a woman and the dessert menu!!!

anyway hens night tonight so have to get my best friend drunk as a little skunk...a million and one things to do before then..it will probably be a very unwell joey bean tomorrow..all self imposed of course..
Edit: at 9:30 am went to do 2 laps of the tan..ummm 5:03 min/km is not me going flat out but apparently this is too fast when you have gone out the night before, are way dehydrated and have been sick all week...after about 3.5kms had to sit on the ground of a bit trying hard not to spew..coughng and spitting galore..was very attractive..so there was hte first lap...decided to slow down the 2nd lap and stuck with 5:24min/km..felt like complete crap the whole run..one of my worst ever..did not enjoy any of it..but i knew it would be worse tomorrow after a hens night... ....lol.. gotta start gettin' purty for this hens noght

..we all live in a yellow submarine

I was walking in my door after my run with the beatles in my head..

..we could be so happy you and in our little hideaway beneath the waves..No one there to tell us what to do!!!! That last line was what what made me start singing it cos today..none of my usual people who help restrain me were around to tell me to be good!

..anyway...So I felt like c.r.a.p. ALL day today…just about coughed up a lung in class(dry cough) gave my year 8’s an almighty kick up the rear..the boys were ANGELS later that day(see how long that lasts) and then came home for my nana nap..usually 15mins but slept for 1.25 hours which tells me that im under the weather…and decided not to run..cos im feeling unwell, have a coldsore and so on and so on…
…then I start thinking about when I couldn’t run and how i should be going and also when someone asked me yesterday if i ran and im like no…and then they go..so you didn’t do ANYTHING so I was feeling pressured LOL completely self imposed

.so i had no plan for the run except the distance 5.1kms but the second i started running, i felt STRONG and decided to go pretty quick..4:49min/kms.. my thought process is this..IM NOT ALLOWED TO DO really quick speedwork..ie 200's so i will do quickish 5kms..have to get some of my DAMN speed back.. I should have been able to do 4;30kms at sandown last week EASILY..disappointed with 4:41min/kms

..also i realised im actually pretty happy at the moment..my brother is not going overseas(they are disappointed) my sister might actually b here for another month or so instead of leaving next week :) im the skinniest ive been in over a decade(even my skinny clothes are getting to be baggy and so i have to keep buying new clothes..dont get me wrong tho...I WILL NEVER EVER be skinny..i just dont seem to have the capacity for it.. i like the job i do-getting paid extremely well for it..im allowed to run.. and i have very nice friends!! so all good in jo's little
.bubble land today...
..ok maybe im in post run endorphin mode...hehe..i love running faster

..what day is it???

..having a 6 day timetable confuses the heck out of me..i now think in terms of day 1 -6 rather than mon-fri so i never seem to know any more what day is...it hurts my poor little brain..lol

had a good day today...although deciding to wear really large heeled boots wasnt he greatest idea..back a tiny bit tight.. i stoppped midway on the stairs just to check how hogh they are..no didnt think to check at the top...anyway as i was checking i noticed that there was a sticker on the back of my pants..it said Great Value..lol(it had come of this nice 2 pack of seamless undies) had to have a laugh..thanks god i saw it before i ventured in double year 12's... shakes head

..no exercise at all today..have a dry cough,bit listless and ..and have a cold sore(start of_ thats the 2nd one this year..have only had about 6 ever!!!!so too close together..for my liking...think ill go for a long run tomorrow..
anyway thats about it for today..
..ohhh and its nece to finally have access to my cash again..no money for two days was driving me nuts..had to scrabble around in my car today to find some money for lunch.... i dont do the not enough money thing very well any more im afraid..im such a spoilt little brat..shopping this weekend..yaaaaaaaaaay
..sooo vegies galore for me for the next few days..and echinacea,garlic,zinc and C...am a bit lack lustre..some people actually prefer me in this mood

..it's a long long road back little jojo

..my back often decides to remind me of this when my brain starts acting all foolish..
..for those of you who know me, you know it was REALLY hard to give away my squash racquet(albeit temporary)..but equally you know im not to be trusted..i am weak.. i cant tell you how many times per week i think... i could go do some squash drills and just not tell Lauren..let me just say it is more than there are days in a week..
..anyway as i was driving to training(yes training) these thoughts were rampaging through my brain...
..sigh..and as i had to agree to on msn..(forced..bullied(blackmailed ;) or however you want read that) i will not do squash drills this weekend...OK

anyway went to training and actually did half a session tonight(first time since injury)
0.8km warm up
1km slowish jog, 500m on grassy infield steady,100m jog,200 fastish,100m jog,500m on grassy infield steady,100m jog,200 fastish,100m jog,500m on grassy infield steady,100m jog,200 fastish,100m jog... and rest..all the others did another set..i knew too much for me as the back was a little tender.. it really does like to put me in my place so i did another 1.2kms cool down (only did 300m or so of the jog throughs while they skippd etc) so about 6km altogether..
grumble grumble..stupid barney..thinks hes the king of hte castle and im the dirty rascal.. and for all intents and purposes he is RULING THE ROOST..if your confused barney is the back!
ok im done..i think i might have a wine..and do some...hang on...oh yeah...homewoork...hehe but in a MUCH MUCH better mood today
miss josephine

..one of those days

..it was just one of those days today..
it started off really badly..a drama queen making a big deal out of nothing..whoch really p'd me off and then the day just never got any better than that! my brain was mush..and i was making stupid careless mistakes..
..hmmmm i should just go to bed so they day is over..but i have hours of homework..ok enough b-ing and moaning...
..had a massage today which was great..even worked a little on the quads..everything is progressively getting less tight each time..
..oh yeah and today should have been a great day..first day in ages WITHOUT a sore back..actually feels prety good..so i will concentrate on that and try REALLY hard to stop being a cranky la-la..
..anyway struggling to keep eyes open..going to have a bath..check out my cupping marks..then come back and do a bucketload of homework..and the no credit card thing is driving me crazy..ive had to spend all my cash on things i put on my cc..and i had already moved my cash over to my 'you cant touch this account'(actually dont have access to) so i have like no cash til thursday..well if i go into the bank i can get it..well maybe wed..i may be tutoring..
okey doke this little sour puss is outa here..maybe i should have had a wine ..as opposed to errr.a whine ..LOL

..girls just cant help themselves..

..lol..i knew today i was going to apub to say goodbye to one of my friends(and i had dated his best friend for 2 years-and knew he was bringing his gf) so whats a girl to do..except spend an inordinate amoutn of time getting ready!!! i even did my make up properly..i might be a real girl AFTER all...lol...the gf was a lovely person..but its always nice if you look better..i know its a girl thing!!!! i did say i was shallow!!!!

anyway sandown went very well.. didnt go quite as fast as i hoped..but ran more to a certain exertion level..29:04 for 6.2kms so 4;40 min/kms..pretty windy and i also ran 5 sec faster in the 2nd lap and felt very strong especially up hte hills

.saw tony (TB) and Em which is always nice :) both sooooo supportive..thanks guys.. didnt manage to bump into stu or sam tho..but hten i ran off as soon as i finished..

to go and have hair and make up trials..big mix up about price so we're going to pay extra(im like..shrug oh well but the other two girls are quite upset..but hey whaddya gonna do...no wonder IM crap at saving)..will post a piccy at the bottom..vic just about had a heart attack when she saw my cupping bruises..had the gorgeous bridesmaid dress taken in....and have brought the shoes home to practice in...was not allowed to take the jewellery home cos vic knows ill lose it..and am under strict instructions as to how to take care of the shoes..hehe..i have such bossy freinds..im still looking for that sign on my head tha says boss me around i really quite like it..
keep looking but cant find it!!!!
watched a terrible DVD last night and had a quiet and relaxing night :)
and after 4 hours at the pub this arvo my homework is not looking like getting done..
so a great weekend...very happy little camper :) :)

..just a quickie

,,just a quickie post as im in a bit of a rush.. only just got home after going and visiting one of my friends whilst a little bit drunk last night...oops.. anyway had left my car at work and on the way home today decided i would pick it up rather than going straight home..about to get on the last stage of the journey(a tram) when it hits me..im wearing the same clothes as last night..and there is bound to be students at the school for sat morning sport..bugger!and it was a bright red skirt so v noticeable..lol.. anyway long story short stopped off and bought a pair of black jeans...and thank god i did..there were millions of the little tackers there! best money spent EVER..actually theyre quite nice..and im officially a size 10 obvioiusly even in my head as i only grab those sizes now!!! woohoo
oh yeah trialling the bras at jays was an absolute cracker..and thanks for the jeans matey! i will buy one of the enells i think
..got racing at sandown today(and am allowed to tootle along at a fair cadence..but am going to back right off after this as i have been havung some sensation in my leg that im not happy with..
then i run from the race to the shower to my car to get my hair and makeup done..if i get a piccy ill pop it up..i think we're even doing the whole dress thing today///and fortunatey mine is getting taken in a little bit too!
anyway gotta rock and roll.hope everyone has a GREAT day..im gonna..as im already in a very good mood
jojo
eek:just cancelled my credit card..feel a bit lost without..surely i can last 5 days..cant i.....surely

..i dont like getting in trouble

..well not trouble..i dont like doing the wrong thing..cos im a fretter and i fret about things..which is why when i behave in amanner i dont like(not work related) then i stress and fret and freak about it.. anyway pretty sure i annoyed a friend yesterday..im sure they will get over it but i cant believe what a moron i am sometimes...
..anyway to clarify/..as jay seemed a little worried..im tryin on jay's bra cos they are like $100 to order online so i just dont wanna fork out without seeing what it feels like..and we moght have a small drink while im there..and oi hafta show someone my hideous circles on my back!!!!
..anyway one of my colleagues asked me to come and run the 'bouley' (boulevard) and hes like its 3.4 kms..very difficult when you dont know the course and one of your year 12' si running..he beat me which is good..he pb'd by over a minute..beat me by a minute actually..hehe anyway ran 20;42 and there is NO way that was 3.4 kms..i was tootling along..had to be 4kms..im definitely going to have to work it out..there is no no no no way i ran that slow for that much exertion...
anyway apparently its still the fastest he has for a staff member doing it..wonder how long before theyll have some males coming to run it so a female staff member doesnt have it...lol
..so all prepped for tomorrow.. just about to head off to galpal jay's, and then on a bit of a pub crawl straight from work..yay..not a biggie..running on saturday...and i think im allowed to move it along a little..my physio definitely mentioned 4;30..(there may have been a DO NOT GO FASTER than..which is no worries)just a matter if i can ,aintain it..i know i can maintain 4:40 will be disappointed if i cant manage 4;30
..may edit later with a photo
jojo
much better mood than yesterday..the whole christian thing(ex) does my head in occasionally

..bad bad barney

..bad bad barney..
..oh yeah i should explain...i have decided to name my back barney..cos its teribly annoying just like barney the Giant annoying f&^$ing purple thing! and then when im annoyed i can cuss at BARNEY. stupid baney etc etc..that felt good actually..
so barney was having a tanty today (LOL) sore all day..oh yeah and hte back has 8 giant alien circles.. i think the boy(man..not boy) i showed them to last night without hime even asking was a little surprised ..especially since he didnt even ask..hehe..lucky he was cute ;) they are however VERY ugly
..was really sore today to the point where i couldnt contemplate the spinning bike(only allowed to stand anyway)..but i guess thats a result of the back being sore before i ran yesterday and running anyway! so i went swimming...sorry did i say swimming..i did some feeble attempt at it..there was no continuity..just a whole lot of sucking in air..anyway did a stop start 1km(and had to bare the horrible aliens on my back) hope noone was too scared lol

oh and jh..not an english teacher(but i might add, i do use better grammar and spelling than when im on my blog which i make typos all over the place..and too lazy to check..and also y sorry...did i accidentally put on my teacher voice and scare you..hehe ;) oh yeah IM all maths baby!

going to see jay tomorrow to try on her bra..maybe ill get her to take a phot of my alien back..lol

now heres a bit of rambling stuff so feel free to ignore(thats why ive put it at the end.. the other day(saturday) i was pleasantly surprised when i forgot to text my ex for his bday(this is the guy who i have been ah err..casually on again off again ummm you know..for the last 15 years..and it is all unhealthy so i decided earlier this year to STOP..I only went back to him last time after something really HORRIBLE happened so i dont really blame myself for that one... this is the first year in a very long time when i havent seen him for his bday..in fact i didnt even think about visiting him..so thats gotta be good.. theres just too much emotion between us really for it not to screw with my head..as it has on dozens of times over the last decade.. my friends wont believe me cos ive said it so many times..but if i go back there i give anyone i know to give me an almighty slap across my face!
anyway today is also one of those significant days which is y i have been in a contemplative mood about all those things
anyway im gonna leave before i reveal more than i really want to
hopefully my naughty little back will play nicer tomorrow...
