..well its sort of a run

..okey dokey.. i had the worlds worst sleep last night.. was awake for quite a while at 4:30am this morning and when alarm went off at 6am wasnt feeling wonderful so hit snooze a few times then decided run wasnt happening til later.. i find when im not 100% i find it really hard to open my eyes properly(not sure y) anyway ended up getting up at 8...well staggering would be abetter word..achilles quite sore(and i iced it last night) but i just knew tha there was NO NO NO way i could manage a long run... was going to skip altogether and then was thinking about the conversation i would have to have with stu..so i decided to go water running..first 40mins wasnt great but i started to feel a bit better after that... ran altogether for 80mins... had an argumaent with a lady... i dont mind peopple being in the aqua play lane..but they cant expect everything to work like a lap lane... rehab people and all that should def be in aqua play but cmon there wer 7 other lap lanes lady..anyway i was sort of running up one way and back the same side(if there are only 2 in the lane this is easier cos she doesnt have to overtake you at all..anyway she would be coming straight at me and i said i cant move..and hten we had an argumanet whereupon i told her it wasnt a lap lane..and shes like..well what are you doing..and i said im water running which is tooooo slow for the lap lanes(there are times!!!!) and shes like well real water running should be done between 5-7am.... um hello...was i snoozing when that rule got made...cos i certainly never heard it before...and os i said..listen..this is aqua play lane..i can do anything i want in here... anyway..anytime she went past me she would wait til she was 30cm away and veer outa my way then which of course meant she often kicked me... it was very annoying cos she was there for about 50mins... and when she got out she did this big thing about waving to me...which i completely ignored.. so she did it again..so i completely ignored her... seriously.. yes i could have gone up and down the opposite sides..which i did when there were 3 in the lane..cos there was another lady who was doing side stroke etc..so definitely needed to be in there...
..ohhh and even tho was still a bit average last night there was something that made me feel better...cmon guess.... yep shopping
..i bought a blue pair of bathers(although the problem with a girl of my dimensions...is that bikini tops kinda make me look like im about to go do a porn movie...lol.. i sent my friend a picture explaining this.. he very politely said..nice colour....lol
and then i bought...2 work skirts, green work shirt, a very very cute little skirt,tank top,sports socks...a shirt for someone else but im not really sure if they will like it, one of my favourite sweater girl bras(seamless and gives a nice round shape..not like some of thos pointy madonna bras)
and then i went to nike...
i was going to buy some red miler spikes..the 6.5s(mens) toes right at the end, 7.5's too big(i do sound like goldilocks now dont i) but alas...no size 7's so i was talking to the guy and hes like we got these cross country shoes out the back(not spikes) and htey are called zoom streak XC and are black and a little cute(will post a piccy soon)

just had some fruit salad and yoghurt..i need to eat a bit healthier..oh yeah the february detox starts on well february...2 gfs are doing it with me and have imposed the following rules
if break with alcohol.. have to pay $25 into the kitty first 3 times,50 next 2 and have to go another full month after that..obviously not supposed to break
..also each person has chosen another food that they are quitting and if they break it costs another $5
mine was going to be crisps and hot chips but i amended to fried food but really that just means junk food...

You should have drowned her! Aqua play lanes aren't for swimming laps and anyone who doesn't know that is a complete nuff nuff - otherwise they'd be called lap lanes!

No coke zero....and no bloody other sort of coke, can, glass, bottle or post mix in a cup!!! And no bloody fish & chips, that will be hard too... So what are you going to do with ALL of that money, because all of the readers out here in blogland KNOW that you will be paying lots of penalties!!!

So what very expensive restaurant will the three ladies be eating at??? With many hundreds of $$$ in the penalty kitty and only three persons at dinner you will need to pay for silver service to spend all of those $$$.


And lucky you went to the pool or the coach would have had to have a serious chat with you!

Good luck Jo, don't forget it is a leap year this year ;-)

Shame I wasn't with you, I didn't mind mouthing off to people who got pissy with me when I was pool running. Anyway, is your pool even open at 5am on a Sunday!! I bet it isn't, stupid cow was talking out her butt!

Wow, with those penalties it will be a very expensive drink. I'm with Stu, cut out the soft drink!

I had someone hop in my lane this morning, and there were 3 empty lanes - what is it with these people!

Forget about the pool - the important question is "Where is the photo of you in the new swimsuit ..... :-)

Take care and train hard
