..who was mean enough to invent the 'tempo'
..who was mean enough to invent the 'tempo'
..and why does stu have to enjoy setting them i ask you??? i truly truly TRULY do not love them..they are VERY VERY hard... he was snickering when he rang to see how i went and made some comment about how he enjoyed setting at least one session a week that i hated(sadist :) well i think thats what he said...lol... at least i didnt drop the f-bomb this week
..no tanty's.. i went to the Tan, 5 mins vslow(about6min/km) then 10mins slow(about 5:35-40) then stretch then straight into the 20 mins at 4:30 min/km pace(which really seem to fast for me!!!!) anyway i ran the good way as opposed to the uphill way..was behind to guys but they were kinda doing 4:40 min/kms so decided to overtake them- dont think they loved that... then i saw a guy ahead who was going slightly faster than 4:30(he wasnt very even anywhere from 4:15-4:35 really) anyway he was a bit faster than what i wanted so i nestled in behind him..i think he thought it was a bit weird..but OH WELL(he was kinda cute tho!) at the 14;15 mark it was time to turn around(yeah anderspn st not in the 4:30min plan!) and realised with dismay that i was a teensy bit tired..(was at about 4:28 ave at this stage) kept pushing at 17:30 i REALLY considered stopping as i was now hurting mentally and physically(not my back) but i pushed through and made hte 20 stupid minutes,,.... ummmmm I JUST DONT LIKE THE TEMPO RUN
i tried to walk run my recovery but really it was a walk recovery with an occasional one minute jog thrown in
..i was absolutely STUFFED.. i really need someone running with me when i do the tempo...maybe MY COACH(slacker) should start running with me on saturdays.. and yes i can say that cos hes away at the moment for the MULTI's in albury
..unforunately after the run my back is really quite bad... had to take anti inflamms and panadeine(its about as bad as it was last sunday... so im thinking tomorrows 90 minute run may have to be in the pool :( which equates to boring as sh!te ...lol..but does mean it doesnt matter so much if i get a little happy happy happy at this party tonight for a friends 30th(which i forgot to reply to about going)...god im a pain in the back side.....
at least 5 wines in- i will forget that my back hurts..and you know what..im going to frock up AND wear heels even if it is at her house..cos i feel like it
only spent 100 shopping today...bought some facial moisturer-clinique that came with a great free gift set(and make up baggy thhing...awesome) and of course more TAPE for my stupid (grizzle grizzle- can i please..what is it when kids legally separate from their parents..i forget was it was called..anyway i wanna do that to my back!!!stupid thing)
..but to leave on a good note-achilles is well and truly on the mend..only a teensy bit sore
..oh and im sooo proud of jay,em,michelle and corrie0you girls absolutely ROCK!!!!

Well done on getting through that, sounds hellish.
Well done Jo, good to hear you are starting to get the tempo set, a nice start for the training for a sub 45 min 10k race...
Which is 4:30 pace for 45 minutes...........
