.grandma jo

..grandma jo???? surely you have to have kids before you can be a grandma..LOL..and im definitely a wee bit too young !!!!!.....according to Em however i am a grandma (LOL)as she called me one yesterday... well honey....i have never worn a petticoat but have some lovely skirts that i cant wear to work cos in the sun they are a little see through..so have been meaning to get one...also im paranoid about the boys seeing my underwear through a skirt

..anyway woke up this morning very easily and in the most SUPERB of moods..went over to a friends house for a drink r two and then home by 10pm...good girl..in bed by 11pm and i got my marking up to date woohoo
i love daylight saving

..went for a run after school today(had a dinner invitation so no time to go to the Tan, ran nearby...these were the splits
1.07km(5:09min/km)
.93km(4:50min/km)
1km(4:55min/km)
2km(5:05min/km)
1km(5:10min/km)
1km(5:02min/km)
i was supposed to be doing 5:15 pace-but i suck at pacing..even with a garmin
when i looked during the third km it said the average pace was 5:10 so i assumed ok..but what had happened is i had hit lap instead of stop when i had a drink stop and as a result blew out my average pace which is what i was going by and then forgot to restart...cos when i started i hit start/stop again(to start) but of course it stopped it DUFUS.. so ran a bit more than 7kms but not really sure how much further-less than half a km more i reckon felt heaps stronger today than last tues or sat/// 5min/kms felt easier than the 5:20 min/kms on saturday

I was also looking at Em's training and im thinking maybe i should see if i could tag along on one of Ems long runs..we run a very similar pace..her being the pacing superstart she is -i might learn a thing or two

out to dinner tonight..nice..... home nice and early...even nicer :)

Cheap book place? Where, where?

Was it one of those where every book is $5?

I went to one of those in Airport West a couple of weeks back and bought a book that I had almost paid full price for ($25), only a day before!

I've been thinking about getting a petticoat - not a nanna one but a 1920s style slip, just for lounging around in :)

Doesn't your Garmin have your current pace in the little corner??? If you look at the screen ocassionally and you are going to fast......, let me tell you a secret, slow down and then you will get the pace you want!

You wear underwear under your skirts? You old Granny you!!!

You can adjust your run in SportTracks so that you get the correct distance etc. Just need to click on the edit mode.

Sure babe, any time, I'll be up to 80 minutes this Sunday and am always happy to have company.

Fair cop re your reason for the petticoat, can't have you ending up with one of those young Princess Di see though skirt photos LOL

And I must confess to recently purchasing a rather unattractive pair of giant Bridget Jones style scary undies to hold my gut in when I wear my Bridesmaid dress. Hopefully the night won't end with Hugh Grant trying to take my clothes off.

I have petticoats (and some undies that most grandmas would think weren't risque enough) Your running is kicking along nicely.

(I was joking about the undies of course, they are all very normal)
