..highly strung jojo

..just in case you couldnt tell, im a little grumpy and highly sensitive when im wriing reports...LOL
..ummm finally got a heap done(still more over weekend) this is crunch time for teachers
..thanks to sara for listening to me grumble and groan about boys
..am feeling HEAPS less stressed today(for various reasons LOL )

..my back is so super sore today its not funny
..cant work out if it is because of running in spikes, running too fast or just the fact that the back has been pretty crap all weekend
..i dont think my back is ready to move to 5 days running a week(well theres no 'i think' about it... it is certainly not ready
...ooh(dont ask how) but i have just smacked my snoz on my computer..i really need to be more careful..ouchies
(ooh and speaking of which..kathy..i have stopped falling over as much..although did almost fall down some stairs the other week...my back would kill me if i fell)
..still waiting to find out my pacings for tomorrow..stu told me last night i wasnt a very disciplined runner..so i am GOING to stick to whatever plan i am told...i will have to find someone to tape my back for me though..not sure if i will be able to race sat and tues
..out with friends for drinkies tonight...nice

about to take my laptop back to my old school(balwyn) bummer..im only going to have one laptop now....LOL....am burning all my files at the mo on the old one...
gotta go..have fun girls and boys :)

..too many thoughts..and a bit faint

..yes kathryn..yestrday was a sh1tb0x day..it sucked the big one... oh well all done
..or so i thought..i havent stopped thinking about my brothers comments(he told me i dont let anyone see the real me..that they just see fractured,defensive, wounded smart-ass jo rather than the easily walked all over jo that my family know(lol of course he didnt say that last little bit...but its kinda my view) i will do anythign for anyone in my inner sanctum\..
..also was speaking to cg who said he would have 'jumped' at the chance to go out with a catch..yeah thanks for that..
why arent i a catch..and im about to be non-modest..dont want to say immodest cos that makes it sound like im running around naked...LOL)
i) im a smart little cookie bean ii) actually nice(most of the time) ii) funny-maybe only to me iii)love other peoples kids iv)fit and sporty v)have a well paying job vi) relatively attractive vii)get along with most people.. anyway I AM done with the self analysis..stupod brother..makign me do it...its all his fault ..lol

ok running... i was feeling shi1te today..felt like someone had drained all my energy out of me..my cheeks felt gaunt if that makes sense(bloodless) it was weird.. had a very long lay down in the arvo... texted stu to say maybe i couldnt manage that tuff session but would give it a go..he said maybe i coud drop 1 or 2 secs(sooooooo generous(NOT) ) or take a 15s extra recov... did he miss the bit where i said i felt sh1t

.hmmmmmmm

..hmmmmm what can i say
..went to my brothers for a bbq..got a lecture and a half about many things.. he again went through why john(guy earlier this year)and i werent together(my fault apparently)..i made it difficult for him to be with me when i told him i didnt need him..cos he was head over heel in love with me (brothers words as he met him)(oh he also went on about other things/boys etc as well- oh yeah dont forget i should retire from squash too hmmmmmmm)
..i stand by my answer..if someone asks me if i need them ..my answer will always be NO... i will not ever need people... i can exist without them...you can still breathe,eat,sleep..... they are what you NEED.... maybe its my definition..but there it is.. i will only be with someone cos i WANT to be with them..not because i need them nor because they need me

anyway feel a bit emotionally harangued..also he doesnt realise(and i dont want any comments made regarding this next bit please)
..he was going on and on and on about my emotional issues(or lack of connection) and i mentioned that he doesnt know everyting that has occurred and that maybe there had been an incident that occured and maybe that infact did f7ck (understandably) with my psyche for a while..anyway he did shut up for a while at least..i think he understood or surmised something approximating the actuality.... and backed the truck up..

..i dont put myself out there all the time..and that is a choice i make... i do stay in my 'safe' little friendships

..tonight just really made me miss my sister...
..and then coming home tonight cg was trying to have a conversation that i really didnt want to have... yes i know he doesnt care... tonight is seriously not the night to tell me ..

..im feeling a tad fragile...........

..oooh i guess thats good pain..

..ill get back to the title later..
..didnt run this morning even though stu advised that as opposed to this afternoon(and yes of course he was right plthththt) but i really did think my back needed the extra half day to recover..it has been quite bad since sunday..which reminds me to take my anti inflamms
...school was productive..
then went running..OMG..what a disaster..was supposed to be 5:10min/km and hten 4kms in 5ish min km, then a slow 1km
..this is what happened
0.8km(warm up tight achilles) 5:30m/k
1km 5:15
1.5km 5:15
2.1km 5:21
1.5km 5:09
1.1 5:30 (just had nothing in legs)
1km cool down at 5:30
nearly pulled the pin on a bout 10 occasions..had to stop at least 3 times in the shade for a minute(i dont think it was that hot..but i was struggling) and i wished there were more drink taps...shouldnt have gone at 5pm today
..any way when i texted stu to tell him i failed to do the session quite as i was supposed to :( i called it a ballbreaker of a run..which is exactly what it felt like.... it was f.ing HIDEOUS.. i dont like that i couldnt do as i was supposed to do

and then went and had a massage tonight... i seriously love corrie...she rocks!it hurt but it was the good pain i guess... i could take it..(i hate it when she is working on my back..sooo lumpy...and my left glute med...was tight as anythin) shins lumpy and calves/achilles were very very tight...
it hurts its painful but then it feels good
..now jh.... youve now said again lets not meet for a drink... i get it OK!!!! lol...im kidding... ive told you youre a figment of my imagination anyway..funny how my figments keep insulting me..LOL.. and i dont cry in front of people so youre quite safe
..obviously ive beeing 'seeing' cg for the last few months(in some respect anyway/shagging/seeing.whatever you choose to call it)
i got asked to go on a blind date last weekend and i didnt take up the offer even though apparently he was an 'owen wilson' look-a-like..which begs a few questions( y not springs to mind-even tho i think i know the answer to that...and also that even. tho he .......actually.. im not going to state those thoughts here because i do need to try to be a little more discrete... and yes ts 12:15 am at the mo as i type this
..hmmmm....
seriously....i suck...
..as i was thinking to myself as i was driving to massage..when am i actually GOING to be AN ADULT.. ...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

:(

no running today...back very very sore for a lot of the day..took some anti-inflamms.. am supposed to do 9-ish kms tomorrow.. was planning on doing it tomorrow morning, but i think i really need to give myself(my back) and extrahalf day to recover..so will go tomorrow night..and i really need to change this skanky dressing on the back..but i cant do myself :(
..and i dont want to take if off, cos i know...i REALLY will need it on for my run tomorrow..bugger
..bit sad today(bit lonely) am missing my family ( usually see them sundays..so i felt it a bit keenly yesterday...anyway im trying to not be in the doldrums..but well i kinda am(feeling teary when i wrote that..)
..and been overthinking something else to death lately.. can i please just stop ever analysing everything..jojo just turn the brain OFF ok..im going to give myself an ulcer
..did some upper body weights and some core work today... and am trying to motivate myself to lose some weight too..but not happening if i keep eating stuff like i did today..out of sorts little joey bean.. feeling a bit fragile

..jojo the centurian

..hehe
..yep this is the first month this year(and potentially ever..because squash always took 2-3hrs a week and couldnt be counted as kms..but ill defy anyone to play the way i play for an hour and not feel like theyve run 10kms!!!) that i have run over 100kms(already there..at about 111kms)
..now this wont sound like many kms to most people..but ive always been light on with kms..but if i actually put in some consistent kms for a while and get a good base, im quite sure my times will significantly improve next year :) :)
..however stu keeps saying..when youre fitter etc...when will i be fitter..how mnay kms a week will constitute fitness for me..or is it how many races..maybe its racing fitness i dont know...
..anyway loving running to bits at the mooment
...13kms run today was hte plan
..garmin was uncharged..of course LOL
so i ran by HR..keeping it between 150-155bpm... gosh this felt slow..i astimated pace to be about 5:30min/kms so decide to run for just over 70 mins... distance whenmeasure at home was 12.85kms at a pace of 5:35... pace felt very easy.....was difficult to run that slow... but felt quite strong and that i was r
'running tall' if that makes sense.
..back was sore from 10mins into the run(even though strapped) :( and stopped on nuerous occasions to stretch it , but not much was helping it...wasnt too bad, just was not very good either.. but then i guess i ran flat out in the 400 yesterday

..it took me 3 hours(from 6am onwards) to convince myself to get out of bed... sensible jo wasnt very happy with lazabout jo..and in the end sensible dutiful jo won out .... lazy jo stopped suling about 10 mins into the run..LOL

...a few friends invited me over to watch dvds last night... i was soooooooo hyperactive and knew i wouldnt be able to sit still(and im not joking..im bad enough when im not hyper) for that long and would basically annoy the crap out of them..so stayed home and had a coupla(add on however many there were)wines..i was way toddly after 2... anyway i started to type a text message...which i remembered when i woke up and was thinking...crap... fortunately i appear to have fallen asleep ..half way through said message...phew!!!! i should be banned from phones when im drunk LOL i suck!!!!!!
..edit..can i just say if you ever see freinds..instead of friends in my blog(it is just my crap typing..i hate it when that word is not correct)..ive just corrected it... almost as much as i hate when people write definately instead of definitely...ok enough of my pet peeves..there aint (lol) enough room on this blog to fit them all

...oooh oooh who's that excited pussycat

oh oh oh that'd be me me me me me me me
just got back from aths.i love aths.i love running.i love the 400...soooo filled with love :)ummm yeah i have a bit of a problem curbing my enthusiasm sometimes..;)

this is how my day went:
ummmmm get the most expensive cab in the history of the world home this morning... i shuld have caught that train..lazy cat..but i left at 8am..still had to get home which is a million miles away, had to vote ,had to go to little aths and then go do my own aths... and phew after a fairly poor sleep...jojo was a tad tired...
did i mention i love aths :)
i forgot to take my racers with me to little aths so had to go from coburg to home(kew) just to pick them up then to essendon to compete...oopsies.. i called stu and am like(i may have been a littel whiny..) does it really matter if i dont have my flats..will it make much difference??????? LOL well you can imagine the response since i drove home straight away..
1500m and the plan was as follows for the 400m laps( 92s(hit 300m at 69s)92s 92 s and hten finish off with 5:45)
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hit the first 300m at 65s(oops and didnt i feel that later on)
overall first 800m done in 3:06, 1100 done in 4:14(which is where the big drop off was) and then finihsed in 5:45..which is a PB since i went back to running(racing) after a 20 year lay off//i used to run when i was a kid... as i finished stu wsas pleased with the time(cos it was what hehad said to do) so i fessed up and said..ummmm they werent even splits though... i got the look along with a 'I know' LOL
it was funny he saw me at the 1200 and is like speed up..so i promptly did and overtook the girl in front of me(which happened to be one of stu's team-mates)
SP 6.33(would be close to my PB..not sure ..im not a good shot-putter LOL
Discus 16.46 again would be close to my pb..i suck at it LOL
400m(one of my fave events) 70.47s and considering my pb(all time) is 69.9 AND i wasnt wearing spikes..im a good shot to beat it next time...woo hoo...
jojo is slightly hyper...... uh oh.. lucky the 3 freinds ive called are busy ..LOL(i know i should organise myself earlier) STILL waiting to hear back from 2 people..im in hte mood to party :)

said goodbye to my sis last night... we had the MOST AWESOME time...we find each other(and ourselves) really funny... there were soooooooooooooooo many times we were laughing so hard that you couldnt actually speak to get the joke out that we were laughing about it... some people think thats a bit weird...but my brother is the same..i reckon its kinda cute..i love it when you literally laugh sooo hard you cant breathe.. ive fallen off a chair laughing so hard(yeah he never went on a 2nd date with me)...and christian once gave me the strangest look when we were walking once and i laughed so hard that i actually fell onto the ground cos my legs couldnt hold me up
..and rather than prolong it..i abruptly got up , gave er a hug and said right im outa here..safe trip love you... abot a 2 minute goodbye..
..and then i was a bit sad..so i was quite happy when my boy said i could go and visit him last night ...cos then he also strapped my back for me this morning(he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the good books) LOL
..and also..to that point(cos he obviously misread...I did not say that it had been TOO long...i said i was surprised that it had been that long..
..if he would let me come out and say who it was i wouldnt mention anything on my blog...just in case some people may know who he is..a lthough having said that im so SHITE at talking about my feelings, its probably good that i say it on my blog...LOL i really am emotionally stunted!!
GREAT DAY
it was just AWESOME

...oooh oooh joey does good

..ooh ooh... even stu is going to be happy with me today
..my pacing was SPOT ON
running session first before all the rubbish going on in my head :)..then people can read the running stuff and skip the rest if so desired rather than WADE knee deep through jo's miscellaneous rambling...ooops there i go
aim:4x300(60s)+2x200@38-40s with 2 min recov between each
..2.5km warm up (5:12min /km pace) achilles slightly sore..something in my shin but not sure what that is at the mo..not sore..just something a bit diff..
4 strides approx 50m
dist time(min/km pace) HR HR after 1min HR after 1.5min comment
300m (60s- 3:20min/k) 187bpm 138bpm 120 bpm (sitting on ground last 40s of recov)
300m 60s 193bpm 158bpm 123bpm
300m 59s 190bpm 140bpm 128bpm ..really felt this one..note HR after 1.5 mins was while sitting,.when i stood up it jumped way up
300m 60s 190bpm 150ish 140bpm ...........this one hurt
200m 39s (3:15min/km) 190bpm 144bpm after 1.5min
200m 38s (3:10min/km) 190bpm 144bpm 118bpm(when sitting)
2.5km cool down at 5:58min/km
6.6km plus 2x1min front plank +1x30s oblique plank each side...found it tough!!!

after my hug comment yesterda i was thinking about my ex eanna(pronounced aina(irish))he used to give bone crushing hugs..but then he was a rugby player and actually physically bench pressed me..that seriously was fun and impressive LOL..i definitely like strong guys!!! not those super big muscly men though... (and i hope he doesnt read this cos it might freak him out) but i realised yesterday that i have been seeing mt CG(once a week mainly) for nearly 5 months...oops how did it become that long already.. and yes my friends are already on my case about how i get involved with people who dont like me that much..but you know..at the moment i like spending time wth him and we are friends and he is generally pretty nice to me..and fairly tolerant of my occasional...ummm..hyperness(I know how annoying i can be)
oh yeah how exciting is this,,, i know my back is starting to get better when i start jumping again..at aths the other day i was walking along and kind of bouncing /jumping a little and then i went hey.... thats great..sorry a MILLION thoughts wizzing round my brain today
..im thinking about skipping...my aunt said it would be good for me within reason
...rang ian and said goodby today(cos he got a very lousy..wont look you in the eye cos im crying kind of monosyllabic goodbye yesterday LOL

..red raw eyes

.. ok... im a bit of a tight-ass when it comes to love... i keep it mostly under my hat cos it just hurts too darn much... however with my family..i just go overboard... as you know my nieces and i had a parting of the ways today... i was supposed to be there for a few hours..but really i was finding it just too hard..and was struggling not to cry..in then end i was teary and so i did leave..and then i cried the whole peak hour(literally an hour) drive home... and have cried a bit simce then and well my eyes hurt now and i think someone should slap me round for being a sooky la-la... but really what id like is a great big bone-crushing hug...
..also the girls are all out of sorts cos theyre not at their house...and ali was being a bit mean..and wouldnt even kiss me when i went to walk out..but then zoey and ali ended up giving me bucketloads of kisses in the elevator on the way down to my car.. they dont understand and so i left because i didnt want to upset them
i dont want to post long cos im already tearing up again... stupid f7cking emotional girl that i am(can you tell i really dont like crying)
..anyway i did read something on ausrun which did make me laugh....but it did just tickle my fancy it did..cant really elaborate more than that

i am sad sad sad and then a little more sad than that pussycat :( :( :( :(
.yes im having a bit of a wallow.... i feel deserted... my sister and brother are my core... my mother is a lunatic(seriously)..and my dad..well eccentric is what we usually call him.
jojo meanders around the house like a dazed lost little puppy whose owners have been out all day

..just a quickie

..yep am only for a bit before i have to rush out for the Maths Dept dinner...oooh how exciting ...NOT
..hmmmm.. work was annoying me today..kids were being brats.. and well lets just say when a comment was made ..have you finihsed those exams yet, we're waiting to get the results in.....didnt make me happy... the BOYS only sat the exam yesterday morning.... i had sent my results in by 1:30pm today...one would have thought that was a pretty quick turn-around....hmmmmmmm.. anyway ..need less to say it frustrated me!!!
..okey doke at school by 6:30 am.. ran the 'bouley' which is 4.2km twice (few hills actually)
first km 5:24 (take s while for achilles to warm up)
next 3.2km 5:12min/km and felt like i was hustling a little..5 min break while i ring mark to let him know im there and repeat all over again..except the average was 5min/kms for the last 4.2kms... which surprised me cos everytime i looked at my garmin..we were going faster than 5min/km pace(i know,cos i kept thinking ...eeek im gonna get in trouble ..wasnt supposed to go faster than 5minpace....so i guess it all works out in the wash..anyway am finding 8kms heaps easier than few weeks ago
..quads still sore.... had a massage last night and they were ridiculously tight in spots..yowsers..... corrie forgot to re-strap my back so im letting it go 'au natural' well at least til i can find some sucker to strap it for me LOL

..see my girls for the last time tomorrow..so expect a big sad-mooded jojo.. maybe that's why the lad was so nice to me on the weekend..LOL...
..am starting to get kinda stressed about the whole thing..part of me is almost wishing they had just left so i dont have to deal with it(we all know what an ostrich-er i am)...while the other part of me wants to milk evry second that i have with them...oops have started tear-ing up as writng...not good...suck it up jojo..dont want red eyes for the PARTY tonight :( :( :(

..excellenty

wow.. how tired was i last nite.. one beer and i was struggling to stay awake after 9:30, dragged myself to bed at about 10:30..but my phone was texting me loudly..well really it was a friend..and i guess i coulda not replied!! eventually i had to say was too tuckered out and i was going to bed.. LOL... arent i the party girl!!!!
i find TRACK waaaaaaaaaaaay more tiring than cross country... i was well and truly done in last night
..up this morning , out the door at 7:09(i know i know..i could say just after 7..but well...im a little particular sometimes...accuracy is important when youre a mega maths geek LOL)
went for my run alongbeaconsfield parade path to the mini bridge juast after the yacht club car park and back.. all up 12 kms.... not bitching but..... OMG it was windy and wet...i felt soooooooooo sorry for the triathletes out there today..it really was quite hideous conditions... had the wind in my face on the way back...hmmmm pleasant) the temp felt great while runnning...although at the end i was a drowned rat and fur-reeeeeeeeezing...
12kms..told to do 5:20ish pace...did at 5:30min/km which im happy with cos i forgot to charge my garmin so had no idea of my pacing until i could get back and work it out..i figured i was running about 5:30 pace to 33 mins out 33 mins back...and it was spot on...
..i think after a big racing day like yesterday...i couldnt possibly have run at 5:20...this was seriously as fast as i could have managed today..those little lumps of lead that were masquerading as legs..had NO SPEED whatsoever.. i probably should have eaten more than one apricot before i run..i seriously struggle to eat though until ive been up for an hour..only started to notice it about 40mins into the run..
..came home cooked eggs on toast..eyes way bigger than my stomach(if thats possible..lol..i HATE my stomach...) and could only eat one slice of toast..but the cheesy/egg with onions, mushies,chilli, and spinach leaves was delish..
..then had a nap ..woke up and called my bro-in law..who informed me its 30 or close to degrees..im still in heavy tracksuit pants and a long sleeved T...I sriously was freezing before... i was shivering the whole time at the supermarket..and i had removed the very wet top,plus one of the crop tops and put on a fresh T...hopefully no-one was watching..
on the way home saw the SIS-ers just starting...i was going to stop and get out and try to catch up with Em and maybe ajh..but seriously i was just too cold.
..friends barbie later..and i dont have to do any hwk today ...cos i have the firt 3 periods with no- classes...wooohooo.. if its 30 degrees ..maybe i can wear one of my spunky little short skirts..
im outa her.. i think maybe i should do a spot of shoppping before i becomea 'barbie' girl
hope all the SIS-ers went well

..im almost back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME

okerly dokerly..it is a very happy miss jojo tonight (albeit tuckered out)
i just did an extremely convincing impersonation of a beached whale on my bed for the last hour ...LOL..it was soo good i could have won an award...lol...jo shakes head at self..am SUCH a loser
..first things first...this little munchkin is going to say ...thanks stu for keeping me restrained today.....
left to my own devices i would have done the 100,800,1500,400 relay javelin and discus... i walked past stu and mentioned the 100 and got 'the LOOK and a NO jo' and id already been told earlier not to do the 800 and 1500 on same day...and it WAS HOT today..i LOVE having a coach actually..i am VERY good at doing what im told(conchy little nerdburger) and it stops me going crazy...cos i always think i can do about double what i should actually do..BIG HUG for stu)oooh that reminds me..one of the coburg runners(who i MADE) go in the 4x400 relay ..gave me the biggest SWEATY hug when he finished...eeeeeeyyyyyuuuwwwwww...yuk yuk yuk.. he thought it was funny!!

saw a few runners in distress actually.it was way hot....anyway did a 2km warm up- then javelin(only one throw..paltry one) and discus 15m-ish and then an
800...2:49.97 (stu had told me to run 2:50) arent i a dutiful girl LOL.. given my season best last season was 2:48..i am basically back at pre-injury pace NEARLY not quite in the shorter distances
200..32.40 (pb last season 31.26)
4x400m relay...73 s(pb 69.9) and actually timed from line to line.. but was kinda messy at the end of it..it TOOK me A LONG LONG time to get my breath back...kinda just sat on the ground for a while..not much of a cool down..
..achilles coped well..sore in warm up but then mostly fine..calf is a bit tight now..
only a short cool down- grabbed the girls(all juniors) and did a lap and had a debrief..also one of the girls was offended by something someone at the club said so i said if it happens again let me know and i will have a quiet word.. i get a bit protective of my girls!!!!

..last night went over to a friends house and there was a very funny comment made...not sure if i can repeat..since this blog is supposed to be g- rated ..
..anyway happily for me..my friend also strapped my back for me this morning..and he actually did an excellent job of it too.. its all a bit sweaty and disgsting now..oh well i will have to try and change it after tomorrows long run
..today was just awesome... i am soo close to being back to pre-injury pace and my coach also thinks i may be able to get to 2:40 for the 800 if i work hard... working hard is fine by me :) i want to get to 2:34 but i dont think thats possible this season...cos thats my all time pb...(from when i was 9) well my mum thinks i ran a 2:27 in the competition i competed in at QLD but i cant remember..
..a beer for me..carlsberg...mmm..ok..nothing special..decided to stay home..I AM EXHAUSTED LOL...and a little overheated
did i mention or make it clear....i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove track!

..ummmm is that a tanty miss jo

..well that may well be a tanty
..but let me preface it with i had had a coupla wines(not many...only two)
..anyway my strapping on back is itching and annoying me and i was going to take it off and redo..so i kinda simulated it ..and then realised i couldnt F7cking do it myself.. and then well i started getting upset at how sore my back was and the fact that i couldnt do the stupid thing myself and no-one else would f7cking do the thing for me... and well you get the gist....umm so i had a little dummy spit(i may have even welled up a little..stupid jojo feels sorry for herself...f7cking AGAIN...)
..anyway..had a nap.. and all is well with the world again..except maybe for my little back..we'll see how it goes tomorrow
..stu(jojo sticks bottom lip out) has said i might have to cut back on speed on tuesdays..although i have organised a mornning run with one of the guys from school on tuesday so that would be good..id just do a few extra kms than him...and he cant run 4:40 so that might suit anyway
..am having a blonde(not a blonde moment..akready had a few...read above LOL... fiery little sooky la-la that I am...lucky it only lasts an hour...or til something glittery catches my eye...LOL) a blonde is a low carb beer..i dont usually drink beer
anyway..
had a great day// interesting to see how much better my naughty little year 8's are(still naughty but they are used to what the looks mean..)and now a look instead of..chair legs on the floor comment is heaps better) ..better not get botox or it wont work(the look i mean) eh???? one of my high school friends got botox..how is that! shes in the lower thirties(not late)..isnt that too young to get botox?????
..anyway..always nice to be told by a co-ordinator that they think you are a great teacher and the school is lucky to have you :) :)
..i love this guy though... he has a great voice(im quite partial to voices i have to say) and he's one of those guys that notices the little things... ooh jo... thats a nice necklace..we need a bit of glam at a boys school.. it was almost hidden so i was impressed he noticed... when i say love...i dont mean LOVE... i use the word flippantly..but avoid it at all costs when it comes to boys LOL... but then im not a gal that falls easily..am quite guarded i guess
...oooh definitely time to go... i think i should go out... im still kinda emotionally all over the shop with my sister deserting me next week and taking my angels with her :( :( :( :( :(

..happy little campers..i do love running after all

..ok ive been bitching and moaning for a long time about my runs..dont get me wrong I love to be able to run again..but as you may have read there has been a whole lot of time with my bags packed and me shacking up in STRUGGLESVILLE
...not that tonight was easy ... far from it..i think when jeg and i were discussing stu...umm slave driver might have issued from someones mouth...LOL
..2.5km warm up at 5:18 pace..legs felt like lead in the first km..which i was wondering if it was just that i have increased va bit last few weeks
then off to REP CITY(aim 400m @90s pace which is 3:45min/km pace) + 2x200@40-42s approx 3:20min/km pace)
ACTUAL..(with 70-75s recov)
dist time (min/km pace) (HR at end) (HR after 60s)(comments LOL)
400m 81s (3:22min/k pace) (185bm) (142bpm) ..bit too fast missy moo
400m 88s (3:40min/k pace) (183bpm) (142bpm) ...much more evenly paced..pat on head
400m 88s (3:40min/k pace) (194) (139bpm)..umm are we there yet..tired..and vhigh HR
400m 85s (3:32min/k pace) (192) (forgot)..
800m ultra slow cool down..supposed to run a relay not happening so decided to go do teh two 200m(actually convinced a gal and lad to do with me which was fun)
200m 38s (3:10min/k pace) didnt check HR
200m 39s (3:15min/k pace) didnt check HR
then another 600m cool down (and with my stride throughs at beginning 6kms all up

achilles still sore first couple of kms..warms up though..but still niggles a bit with speed
oh and then jojo is even MORE good(yes deliberately poor english)
1min front plank. 30s plank each side 1min front plank.. then stretches... jojo is happy little camper..
back is a little sore..and hurt a little when i ran(even though strapped/taped it..which is not great..
..and im not sure if i mentioned..but slightly less strength in one toe..aunt said not to worry too much but, but keep an eye
..am feeling HEAPS better today too..ive eaten 3 meals ..woohoo first time in a while i can tell you!!!
..and i think in my head..ive found a peace with that issue i was concerned about.. i a massive OVER-ANALYSER jojo needs to just live and be merry sometimes and stop thinking the crap out of everythings
If youre ever thinking of visiting..umm go to rep city..it is sooo much better than strugglesville.. LOL..I AM SUCH A MORON...oooooooh and soooooooo mature

..back on track

.. oh yeah my last session..
i ended up doing hte 8kms as prescribed(but i did it on the tready with zero incline though..so i cheated a little
2kms @5:18min/kms
2km@5:02min/km
1km@4:39min/km
1km@4:50min/km
2km@5:24min/km
was pretty tuckered out after..but im getting back on track... went to physio tonihgt (bc back was not good on weekend) and she has strapped it and given me more back and achilles stuff to do.... shes like you need someone to strap it jo...there is no-one...you have to get someone to do it..i cant ..let me watch..i have to do it myself :(
quite difficult to watch somoene strapping your back/..lol..anyway she wants me to strap it for a while..especilly for both runs of a consecutive run(shes my aunt and saw how much i struggled with my back on sunday)

anyway was wearing a skirt i had tailored and got many ooohs and ahs at the physios...oooh you look pretty(i have to learnt o say 'thanks' to a compliment..rather than snort and say YEAH right..its very rude of me) ..LOL which was all very nice

..ive also decided i am a judgemental little pratt sometimes... i cant expect people to live by my morals..but it does mean i can and will be disappointed sometimes with a certain lack of ethics
..also on another note.. what people did or didnt do before i knew them shouldnt concern me..ive always said i will judge people by the way they treat me(and my friends too)
..easier said than done sometimes

..sick little pussycat

..ok so yesterday i was feeling pretty sick but then thought well its my own fault..too big a weekend..get your butt to work...struggled a bit though.. anyway went to bed when i got home for a bit, then went to bed 8:30-9:30 up for 15 mins then back to bed... have only been eating about a meal a day last few days..belly just has not been happy...
anyway today..there was just NO WAY i could have gone to work...just not possible...
anyway stayed in bed til 1pm and then finally ate something...finally the belly actually felt like it could TAKE it(its been since sat morning really).. anyway after that started to feel a bit better... and the best sign is just then (5:30) waas hungry again... the belly is definitely feeleing better
..am about to go get a massage from corrie and also go see my aunt(physio tomorrow-i knnow she was a little worried when she saw my move-ability capacity on sunday) but it is much better now..
will decide about whether to do a little run or not.. but it also makes me feel a bit better about my sunday run...i think it was more than just my hangover making that run sooooo tough..i literally had to lay on my bed for an hour like a beached whale after it..never had to do that before...
..my sister leaves next week so i am very sad...
..sorry deleting this bit here..


..little jojo's emotional intelligence and well being at the moment is not at its all time high... feeling rather fragile... no crying or anything..but the sister and nieces and bro-in law thing is really playing on my mind.... maybe my belly thing is stress related!!!

..oh my gosh... big day

..saturday was extra-ordinarily BIG...as stated previous...a belly roiling 12km run in the morning then meet sara(morsey..who looked lovely i might add)at 11:30 where we had inhaled a couple of drinks before 12:15..oops its gonna be a loooooooooong day..the most packed train in the history of the universe...was very hot..lucky someone chiller bag was right against my butt.LOL.. tooooooo much drinking till yand j for a parma then off to transport again...where sara naughty girl left me at 8:30 even tho i wasnt meeting jay until 10:30...some young guys were chatting to me and one of them was trying to get me to go to the next pub(he was 26) and i was telling him he was tooooooooo young..and hes like..it doesnt matter and was trying to..age himself..by telling me he owned his own business...LOL.. so hung around with them for a bit ..taking photos with them...why....your guess is as good as mine!head off ot the elephant and the wheelbarrow where i had a 19 year old trying to get me to dance while i waited for the girls... finally they turned up then we drank up a storm!!!!!!!!!!! then i got my booty shaking on the dance floor..gee that was fun..someone will have to say what time we went home..cos ummm...jay/michelle..i dont know..was it 3ish,1ish,2ish,,,,no idea..
up at 12 feeling quite dehydrated...i always know when im hungover cos i walked around a bit not an ape..not completely erect(and im serious)
..anyway stu had told me to clock up a few kms on sunday so at midday decided that was the time to go...why...bad decision...i got soooo overheated and dehydrated i had to lay down for an hour cos i couldnt move..LOL
5kms @5:40 pace....i think i was still drunk
,.then tutoring at 3 then a family dinner..after which i was feeling a bit depressed(only one more weekend with the girls) so i went and saw CG

..some information has come my way about something which is really playing on my mind..unfortunately i cant remember everything i was told...d'oh... and the information does not please me shall i say... it means that someone a)lied to me b)doesnt have the same integrity that i have given them credit for
..but then all my emotiona;l energy is taken up elsewhere at the moment and i dont think i can deal with that right now....
anyway..big weekend..jojo is all tuckered out... and my special little visitor today(cant believe its practically on time!!!) means im just that extra bit tired as well..
oh yeah...back was the WORST it has been since it started feeling better yesterday..but today it is heaps better..not quite coping with conmsecutive days..sorry about the mega post but really it was a sat/sun/mon post... breathe jojo

..dodgy sushi???

..ok this is made BEFORE i go to the races..BEFORE i start drinking...
..i think i may have eaten some dodgy sushi last night.. when i went for my run this morning at the Tan (12kms) i had already had some errr ummmmmm runny 'poohs'... anyway got to the tan started running(the toilet stop is always 5 mins away) had to stop a couple of times and walk cos i thought i wasnt going to be able to hold it together..it was horrible..finally got to the toilet...but only just...do you know how hard it is to walk when you are clenching RIDICULOUSLY hard!!sorry not a noce topic..anyway so the belly was a little shhall we say upset... came out did some strectches and set of again...belly not overly happy... however after 6kms..i was having overwhe,ming waves of the 'im going to vomit" and started dry reaching while i was running9and i wasnt working hard at all-not exercise related..and i only had 2 drinks last night).. so this was 6kms and im like oh bugger...and it felt more of a case of..when i am going to vomit not..IF.. anyway managed to keep running...but im sure i got a few odd glances when i was dry reaching at hte smae time evry so often... finally finished(yeah pleasant run..about as pleasant as when i got my tattoo...but the tatoo took less time) anyway stopped at the end ..knelt down at started dry retching again...trying very hard not to actually hurl..cos well i knew if i started it wasnt going to be pleasant... got back in my car-still feeling ill...and had to grab a bowl to use as a bucket ..in case..yep still almost vomiting.. anyway got home and decided i might as well have a sausage roll...LOL..i didnt even feel like it overly but thought well it will either stay down or stop this stupid sick feeling.... anyway belly roiled for a while but has since settled....belly still feels like its had a workout...
anyway here are my times for the Tan.laps
20:10 (5:16min/kms)
20:35 (5:22min/kms)
20:37 (5:23min/km)
plus 500m
altogether 64 mins for 12kms (3x3.83+.5) at an average of 5:20min/kms..
..the legs were pretty lead like..but at least the sushi-belly kept my mind off it!!!

came home and am all frocked up ready to go to the races... am wearing aroyal blue(kinda) dress with matching blue shoes and a hat that if you step on it or sit on it...it bounces right back!!!!!! cool bananas... i was home by 9"15 this morning having already completed my run!!!!

thinking i should take it easy with the drinking since my belly is feeling tender
OH AND LADIES...you should have had your butt down at the Tan early this morning...loads of football teams training......

..how awesome

..how awesome is a 3 day week..should definitely happen more often!!!AWESOME.. ok have pulled up pretty well after yesterdays session...ummm anyone who read the comments yesterday would have realised..i ummm suck and accidentally did an extra rep than i was supposed to...definitely those blonde bits in my hair...and no wonder i was soooo tired..
legs were a bit tired today though.... i think its been a big week run wise
last thursday first rep session
sat racing(not flat chat)+25 mins jog
sun 11.5km
tues 7kms including 2kms @4:45 min/km
and then last night 3x400 and 2x300 plus 25mins jogg
...anyway sar asked me to go to the races tomorrow..i jumped at the chance of course...a day out with sara..too cool..a chance to frock up..woohoo... a chance to legitimately start drinking at midday..unreal banana peel..and then meeting up with jaykay tomorrow night
..anyway last night was asking my rather strict;0 coach if i could switch the long run to sat..and got the following answer "routine routine routine" but then today i rang up and once id explained my drinking status for tomorrow-LOL- i have switched it to sat..no way no how is a long run happening sunday
..now this long run..need to get down in the morning before meeting sara at 11:30 in the city..so lets see have to run for an hour and a bit...wait half hour for a shower..5min shower..45 mins to get ready..oh hang on..havent organised what im wearing..bugger..a bit longer to get ready..45 mins to get to city...ummmmmmmmm i think i need to be runnning at about ohh umm 7am.....thats gonna kill me!!!

..oh and today had yard duty so was doing a bit of a 'stormin norman' around the oval..ummmmmmmmm my shoes had no socks and now have two gaping blisters///JOLLY GOOD..that should make tomorrow fun..shouldnt it LOL... and i really need to buy one of those enell bras..not happy with the support at the moment..the girls are a little sore...
choice of dresses..a rich green dress, a fitted black dress(quite flattering),2 other black dresses...a red dress..a blue dress..2 or 3 dresses which have patterns..
and i have about 5 pairs of shoes which ummm all look nearly the same..or a cute red or cute blue pair or ummm i do have about 8 others that are possible.....ooooh its making my head hurt

..the very definition of irony

..yep.. this morning i went out to the car: oops the split in my skirt had split higher than meant..toodle off to get changed(no irony yet) Get changed into skirt and blouse...step outside into the better light...oops cant wear that-the skirt needs ironing...go back inside get changed again..another skirt(new skirt) and top..only when outside in the light do i see it needs ironing...ooops inside again for the final change!!!!! wheres the irony you might ask... well given i hardly ever iron-like less than once a month...how ironic that 2 days after i have spent 3 hours IRONING on cup day...i cant find an item of clothing that doesnt need ironing to save myself LOL..i never usually have that problem when I dont IRON~!!!!!how freaking ironic(and no pun!)

awesome day today...and a cool day tomorrow too!no classes til 10am.....

..happy with how i pulled up..and this time my heart rate was at least nearly normal whle driving home..it was elevated for some time last week!
and back is good....again..im hoping when it gets sore its at the stage it gets better quickly..achilles niggly a little so may take anti inflamms!

ummm.i found the session EXTREMELY tough..i am sooooooooooooooo NOT fit! oh well suck it up joey bean ...it will come!
..um and what is with that....
..i have a gf who at the moment is in a complicated relationship- her 'new man' is involved with someone else(long term thing)(i know i know..ive said it all to her!!)..and she has been commenting on what is wrong with my love life ...
... umm .. id say something about pots and black kettles..but im not doing ANYTHING with anyone who is already TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i found it really hard to just take those comments...!

...i have the best nieces in the world

..okey doke..let me answer some of jh's comment

1. dodgy housemate will never read my blog(she wont even speak to me LOL..i actually said hi to her from a metre away and she ignore

2.your comment re toughness of someone...i wont comment ..cos im too scared ...LOL...im joking OF COURSE!!!!! but shhhhhhhh just to be safe....lol

had a REALLY good day at work..even though i had a ridiculously small amount of sleep last night..had to get up way toooooooooo early.. why have i become this earlybird....when you find out...can you please tell my alter ego...the cranky why cant I sleep in gal! but nonetheless was still in a very good mood.. after i had a coke zero)diet coke) for breakfast of course...LOL

..went and saw my absolutely adorable nieces today..gosh i just adore those girls.. so i met Ian(bro in law) and bought them all a drink..lemonata as a special treat for the girls..(i had a great sav blanc and he had some polish beer) will post a pic

..back still very sore and throwing a 3.5 year into the air old isnt great for it..nor probably is stacks on ..or sandwiches(i was the bottom slice of bread of course!!)..nor about a million other things..

..anyway..we had fish n chips for dinner..yum..

girls very excited they were(lol thats a bit of a yoda-ish structured sentence isnt it..and yes i knwo i dont usually construct sentences anyway!!!!).... anyway fortunately at 7 i decided time to go home.... um jojo where is your wallet...we search the house...nup not there... i started getting a little distressed thinking about the phonecall where i cancel YET another credit card(THE fourth in less than 4 months :( anyway we rang the fish and chip shop and fortunately..umm yep i had left it htere..... YEP IM A MORON...dont ever let me tell you any different.. cos trust me ill tell all and sundry(and anyone else who cares to listen wjhat a smart little chickybabe i am...lol..i REALLY am kidding..im more obtuse than a slug)

..oh and yesterday when i bought a new phone..i looked everywhere for the sim card.. when i went over to a friends house... and was grilled as to whether or not i had actually read the manual..YES I HAD..well bits of... and it took them ummmmm five seconds to find it.. yep im definitely KNOCKING on the door of being a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL... i really wish some people would refrain from rolling their eyes at me!!!!hehe

.. is there ever going to be a pleasant run

..i went for the 7kms as advise 3kms @ 5:10m/k 2kms @4:40min/k 2 kms @ 5:10m/km

well i thought after having done this session before and finding it tough i would find it much easier.. i did it at noon today and its not like it was hot or anything ...i just suck...big time!
actual
3kms @5:08min/km (stopped at 2kms to do a big stretch(back a little sore)
1km @ 4:46min/km
1km @ 4:39min/km (had to stop for a bit and get a drink and regain my composure-as i said im sure it shouldnt be that hard)
1km @ 5:07min/km
1km @ 5:04 min/kmand i almost stopped running at 6kms cos i was in struggle central

..was feeling a bit down in the mouth about it..so texted stu saying maybe i wasnt as fit as he thought i was and maybe this session is just too hard for me...

..anyway he tried ot be nice about it but im not convinced..i struggled a LOT

..and my BACK IS NOT COPING :( it has been sore after the consecutive days run, sore yesterday.. and sore enough today to make me stop and stretch whilst running.. i think i will only run 3 days thos week not 4.. i had been starting to think my back was completely better but really im just living in denial

..and i was a miserable git yesterday..i even cried..and i have to say it actually made me feel better.. i know im going ot be bit teary for the next 2 weeks ..only 2 more weekends with my family..well there will be other family members here-but they are the 'may ring you for 10mins here and there ' type... im already feeling lonely

and i wont even start on how much boys are annoying me at the moment

dont worry im fine today... just tutored ..so i have cash burning a hole in my pocket
..oh and spent about 3 hours ironing today..what the..thats more ironing than ive done in the last 3 years...
..oh and if you think i have your phone number(cos you have already given it to me... i dont...new phone.. please text me(my number is the same)..and dont forget to say who you are.. so i have your number again

..corrie..my angel

...woke up and my back was super tight and a bit sore.. i called corrie to see if she could squeeze me in for a massage..thank goodness she could...
..it was a VERY painful massage..also she did the hip flexors-that is such a weird uncomfortable feeling...and the upper back was super tight and painful
..but thankfully my achilles is really quite good

..at least when i walked out i was a little free-er..
..anyway somehow my phone died today(it looks like it might have got wet??) i completely freaked out-i cant deal without my phone
..so i bought a new one- signed up for 24 months..eek..that always freaks me out a littl.. anyway bought N73 nokia phone-so playing around trying to figure it all out..its not a small phone by any means.. but it does have skype enablement which means i can $12 a month for 100mins free skype talk which is good with my sister moving

horrible flatmate has come home but hasnt said anything yet about the note which said leaving open food around for days was disgusting(yes a note-you cant talk to her-she just flies off the handle).. maybe she realises it was disgusting..she has at least cleaned it up now...

a much much better day than yesterday...
not completely sure what training im supposed to do this week..i think im supposed to keep kms roughly the same..not entirely sure as to the separate sessions....

..the death car

..my car seems to be accident prone//(will update later) i just had an accident on the way home...all ok though but a bit of a head-ache so im going to have a nap...
..will post about the rest of the crap day..will edit later ,.when im not so cranky la la
this year(front door kicked in/front windscreen smashed/back windscreen smashed/jo reverses in grannies car/flatmate smashes into my car/now someone hits me..maybe the universe is telling me to move away from the death car and get a new one)
..ok just got A phone call from morsey..id kinda forgotten i posted before..brain went a bit vague..it think the headache is just a stress headache ....ive been stressed all day today

anyway the car guy..i hit my brakes cos the car in front of me stopped..and i stopped in time and was happy and then THUD..guy rams me from behind.... (smacked the back of my head on my car seat...stupid inertia...i get out and hes like ..what happened....i looked at him and said ..well i stopped cos the guy in front did and you smacked into me...his car was NOT in great shape... my little festiva seems to have survived great! a bit of a scratch on the back..so im like..well im prepared to let it go and you can just fix your own since its your fault...
..yes i shouldve exchanged numbers..but i didnt...i kinda freeze up a little when i crash- and we were creating quite a traffic jam.. and well really i jus didnt want to be there any more

..went for an 11.5km run today..running at 9am in the rain(have decided long run pace is about 5:25) which i stuck too.... ummmmmm first 5kms my legs were like lead...i was actually trying to remind myself i like running and remember how upset i was when i couldnt do it... but the drowned rat(me) didnt seem to be responding.... a about 9.5kms my back started to get really quite tight..so even though the plan was 12kms i cut it short a 11.5kms..very tight back...a little sore now..
..was REALLY sad this morning..was thinking about my sis leaving and was tearing up a bit...usually i would spend the weekend and them being away in tassie made me think about what its going to be like when they are away...and ive had a busy weekend :( after work drinks(early) fri / sat aths/out sat night/run sund morning /drinks for a friend's 50th this arvo ....... anyway am sad little jojo.. doesnt help that i know im going to have a fight with my flatmate when she gets home..cos i told her leaving food lying around(uncovered) since thursday is disgusting
..havent seen cg at all for a week and i think i probs p'd him off yesterday..i sent a txt message i probably shouldnt have ... damn those drunk texts.... wha a moody little cow i am..lets see i must be up to mood 20 for the day
..im going to just go and sit quietly in a corner so i cant get myself into any more trouble

oooooh ooh ooooh oooh

..ooooh i got to compete today..all smug and happy...AND I WAS RESTRAINED..yeppppp..thats right ME!!!+restrained..same sentence
i did EXACTLY what i was told :) ive decided(unless im in a smarta%s pain in the a%s kinda mood) that im kinda dutiful person and want people to be pleased with me
..in the absence of anyone telling me what to do the only person to please is myself..which means run fast and hard..
but i had instructions..which i happily fulfilled

lets get the very poor laughable only for point field events done with first.. jav 11.31 shotput 6.03
800m told to do 3 mins even pacing(90s laps)... first 400 was 86 and second lap was 91s so 2:57 and wasnt breathing hard at all... and when a girl overtook me with a hundred to go..i refrained from speeding up!!! excellent

200m relay..didnt sprint but probs a bit too fast

400m..told myself 80-85 so cruised(literally) in at 76.9 and it felt pretty easy(the funny think is my pb is 69.9) but the first race of last season was 75s...(going flat out) so it definitey shows i am faster than last year

AND wait for it.. ieven did a 2.3k warm up and 2 km cool down...unheard of in the past.. i am smug little pussycat(and icing my achilles now before i go out) someone sensible seems to have possessed little jojo :)

OK..heres my morning tho-decide to go get a spare set of keys cut-since no spares since i lost my keys and now use the spares..birl cuts car key, key doesnt opn car,jojo return, boy takes key glares at other girl and fixes it, car doesnt open door..check and it starts engine,jojo returns..boy rezaps, still doesnt open door,jojo returns...maybe you should just start again..new key from scratch,,,still doesnt open door,jojo returns showing him where it is bigger on the other key,boy rezaps and comes out,nope ddoesnt opne door,boy rezaps,jojo returns, boy looks at me..defeated and says heres your money back.... soo little miss jojo refrained from calling htem a goose and trundled out of the shop and waited til she got into her car before one single expletive was released!

...ummmmmmmmmmmmmm how hard is it to cut a frickin key..now i have to go elsewhere goddamit..when i got home i tried it(and bent the keys too but managed to lock it..but fat chance woth unlocking it...good grief charlie brown

okey doke,this happy little pudding is about to go dry her hair and get ready to go out for some drinkies with some of her buds! time to make myself look pretty and bat my eyelids....LOL

still to be told how far i can run tomorrow...but i think it was 12 ish kms?????? assuming the achillles is good.. well when i leave my car out it is going to be at least 6kms away LOL so ill do a sideways loop and then go get it

..a wanna be detective

..the problem with having intelligent friends... is that they try to work things out that they are not supposed to know LOL one of my friends(well two actually) have done some super-sleuthing.. or at least tried to..i received a completely out of the blue text message today from a friend asking me a question.. that may or may not have been true.. however..the fact remains that these people are trying to work out the answer.... i was somewhat surprised!!!!!

so as to my run(competing) for tomorrow..i have been advised that i can run the 800m if i am prepared to forgo my pride and run a 3min-ish 800m(i have never ever ever in my whole life run slower than 3 mins for an 800m :( even when i was 9years old) and then maybe a 400(AND THE RELAY) however i did decide to be completely sensible and said if i was advised to not run, then i wouldnt run..actually it was quite funny..i was rung up and this is how the call went......
.you know the 3000m steeple..well you cant run it....
..the 100m you cant run it! (this actually is about the level of my sense of humour-i should sooo teach primary school...
..heres a primary school joke(and maths)
.what did the zero say to the eight
..nice belt..LOL ..cute and clean
..gotta go buy some wine..although was contemplating going out(except for the fact i didnt organise myself and still havent...oopsies..) am still considering what to do
..hopefully whatever i do..i wont ever make a drunken post like last time... um that has definitely elicited some comments from people..oopsies..ummm and it was a TAD embaraasing..im still hoping LOTS of people forgot to read(although a bit hard when jh,.....posts a LINK to it on his blog plthththththththththht)

how do you stop a mole digging up the garden...
..hide the shovel......LOL

whats orange and sounds like a parrot
..a carrot...LOL

..what did tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill....
..here come the elephants (lol this one kills me)

..what did tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over hte hill wearing sunnies???
..nothing.... he didnt recognise them ...LOL

okay ill stop..i got millions of the little buggers!!!

..it didnt feel THAT hard.................

..my heart rate always seems to make it seem like i am working harder than i am... although thats why i hate it..people forget that average is just that...some people will always be higher(by a bit) and some people will always be lower... i really want to do a max HR test to be sure
160 doesnt feel to me like im working that hard... today my HR was extremely high..and whilst it felt hard and i was breathing heavy..i couldve pushed harder
..my resting heart rate is usually about 48(although i noticed driving over there it was a little elevated
anyway was like a little kid at christmas..all day i couldnt wait for the day to be over so i could go and run some reps(first time since before the achilles and only the 3rd since april..but this time i was allowed..woo hoo
so 15 min warmup @6min -ish pace(Hr was 150-155 which seemed a bit high..)(2.5km)
then 3x400m reps.. i used to be able to crank out 80s reps for 400m and do about 6is of them... umm 90s was a whole lot harder today..ill put the HR in even thoguh i dont want to
90s 181bpm
91s 185bpm
