..ummm yeah

ummm i really must remember not to get on the computer when im a little ummmmm drunk...lol
..anyway i woke up and was uite pleased that the back was going to be reasonably ok for the run..(well i really couldnt stand the thought of a 90 min water run) anyway.. so i went for my run(was a bit dehydrated before i began..and i had to pick my car up from northcote...and the area i live in is kinda hilly!!! anyway did about 7 laps of the nearby 1km track(that isnt hilly) then headed off.... it was very busy as it was the blind dogs open day so i was weaving in and out of people(i think that was the 5:07 km..i get a bit impatient and had to run on the road on a busy road-oops....there was a bike lane.... anyway the run was good..except when i would stop and do a back stretch..not fun.... after 13 kms i was very dehydrated(hadnt had a drink since 7kms) so stopped at a servo and bought some water...yeah dont really love carrying a bottle ive decided while i run..was getting pretty tired by this stage....
sucked it up and manged 16.7km in hte 90 mins at an average of 5:24min/km.. best long run in a while so happy with that..
back pretty tight now... ill have to get the lad to tape it for me when i go over there later... looks like another week of taping constantly.not just for running! never mind...champs next week and then a rest then run 4 kids...
have decided not to be too worried with pace and just going to enjoy the run with andrew :)

I haven't even given the R4K a second thought yet! I suppose I better start having a think about whether or not I can give it a decent tilt.

Looking forward to cheering JoJo at the Masters next week.
