..what significance 01 April
the first april is april fools day (also stu's bday..lol... join whatever dots you like hehe)
..but this year it has even more significance to me..it is the start of a new year for me... i injured my back on the 31st march last year... so april 1st closes that and starts my next chapter of running
on that note.. prior to very foolishly throwing the hammer throw -i felt like my back was getting better....then i had 4 VERY bad weeks...but i feel now that it is feeling better again...
i went for a very cruisey 40min run today-no garmin but was trying to run 6min/kms- not sure
it was the first run in ummmmmm a year that i experienced...wait for it... no pain at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no achilles pain(have had that since september left then right) no back pain(cant tell you how awesome that is)
the run itself wasnt brilliant but i am very very pleased.. if i can get a good season of training/racing in this winter then sunmer track season looks good next year
run for the kids- have no idea what sort of pace im aiming...stu seems to think i will probs manage 4:45min kms then if anything left can push a bit harder last few kms(ummm probs not)
...hmmmmm does that mean its time for me to give squash another burl?????? i am thinking of booking in with karen s-sports doc of em/sara/and stu and see if she can assist with my squash rehab and if is is still causing me to not be able to bend the next day- maybe its time to look further into it
miss jo is on holidays...wooo hooo.. got car serviced today..and the air con thing fixed(all free) apparently the idling motor was getting stuck.. the dude was like--dont wait for a service-if theres a prob bring it straight in, that stuff is under warranty
..having a few drinkies with some pals tinight(ealry drinks so will be home not too late..hopefully will refrain from drunk posting
ciao

Plenty of opportunities there Jo, eg birthday presents that are really empty boxes etc.
Great to hear about the pain free running!
4:45 hmmm .....
It's exciting to hear that your back is doing so well. Yay! And you must be so pleased to be getting closer to playing squash properly again.
Enjoy your holidays!
lol jay- when i woke up at 5am this morning with the computer in front of me i was worried that i had!!!
The Voice Of Reason!!!
Let's remember that afternoon when another athlete I coach suggested to you DO NOT throw the hammer, she was right and of course was only repeating what she had heard me say...
Two weeks later, Jo does her own thing and throws the hammer and strangely becomes competitive and tries to PB or beat someone (I can't remember), but outcome; back WORSENS...
After LOTS of rehab and running in the pool (which you didn't like), your back is starting to play 'nicely'.
Can the Voice Of Reason STRONGLY suggest that you WAIT until you have felt NO pain for 14 days in a ROW. Don't play squash until either your physio says so or until you have made that appt with OPSMC.
Learn to enjoy running with no pain.
(wow another long post trying to çalm' Jo down....)
Good luck for the following year and I am sure you will listen to "The Voice of Reason: to guide you :lol:
Have fantastic holidays Jo :)
