..i like a bit of action ;)

...i went and saw my new podiatrist today(sally childs at opsm-she was very good too) she is a woman of ACTION- i like that... no pfaffinf around- she looked at my VERY VERY swollen toe and is like i think we will put a metatrsal dome under that to try to allevaite the pressure-if in two weeks it hasnt we may have to look at an xray to see whats going on. it is either the joint or teh ligament- i think she may have said the fascia plane?????? anyway i now have a bubble under my foot which feels kinda weird-
i also booked in with karen in 3 weeks as i have to do something about this silly sausage back :(

tonights session was a speed session-and because of the pod appt i had to do it at the Tan-which is a little harder on my back than a track i reckon...anyway i di 4x600m reps-supposed to be at 1:55 )3:50min/km then 4 250m reps -supposed to be 55s (3:40min/km)
i know most people wouldnt even notice-but between the 3km and 3.5km marker, there is a bit of an incline..id never really noticed until i did speedwork on it
500s
1:59 (into the incline) 3:58min/km
1:53(downhill) 3:46min/km
2:04 (incline) 4:08min/km :(
1:55 (decline) 3:50 min/km
with 2min rest between each- bit disappointed that i couldnt hit the times stu wanted and inconsistent

250s
55
56
54
55
so hit the time and was trying to concentrate on quicker shorter steps.

then stu and i went and had a look at the new point cook shopping complex-bit weird in that its not all under one roof...you have to walk out in the cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway... hope all is well with everyone :)

Does nothing stop you running? Swollen toe, dome underneath .... haven't you heard of rest?

Yeah, that uphill really bites when you are doing a session, it is subtle but it's there!

Hopefully Dr K will have some insight into this back of yours, I reckon she is keeping half of Melbourne running :-)

Of course there was some difference with the reps, there is a small incline there!

Hopefully this dome thingy helps, or you are going to have a hard summer with training when you are training to run a 2:30 800m.
