GREAT NEWS

..err ewen(saturdays comment)..way to make a girl feel good...like i dont know it was dreadful.... and yes i believe Em will go faster in her debut 1500 too... hopefully she wont be foolish enough to run a 100m race 20mins before nor a big wind!!
..anyway went to the sports doc tonight
..but first did a 5km run followed by 4 min cool down kms:5:24,5:33(anderson st)5:09 4:58 4:53

then off to see KAREN where a few things were discussed
1. shes happy with my back-but it was tight so i had to have dry needling..YOWSERS but nowhere near as bad as it was the first time... as she also said... she did comment several times how happy she was with me and also that my back was in 'an awful mess' when she first saw me-and truth be told it was-as i said today -teh change is dramatic..really the pain was quite intolerable-i almost shudder to think about it now
..anyway during the needling i spoke to her about my ankle pain and she dug around ...errr yelp a couple of time...the something tars tunnel that goes through the ankle is apparently inflamed and need to take voltaren for 5 days ...
..discussing my running and the fact that i never run 1500as well (just in conversation)as would be expected..not saturdays cos she rolled her eyes at me when i said i did the 100 first..
anyway she was asking about whether i cough afterwards-(which i do quite a bit actually) and the fact that i breathe pretty heavy really-she really gets to the crux of the matter..lol...
,,anyway she suggesed that maybe i have some asthma(that was a bit out there really but i do sometimes get short of breath at times-it is something i have always noticed) so she wants me to just trial some ventolin before the 1500 this week to see if there is any difference-well it cant hurt, can it

oh and this is the GREAT news bit... i kinda hung whilst she was about to leave and said ummmm... errr... so will i be able to play squash again...and she said if she is happy in 6 weeks.... early next year looks good for getting back on the court...OMIGOD how cool is that
..oh yeah..if the tunnel thingy doesnt get better in 5 days,,,its an injection into it...eeek... and then a few days off training..which i would try to get to be over the camp time
she did make sure she mentioned that i have a lifelong back injury(i get the feeling she thinks im going to forget.lol) and that it has to be managed

so am having a celebratory wine...wooohoooo.. that went even better than i could have hoped.... too awesome

..also i got offered a small position of responsibility which also comes with an allowance(not huge) but i can tell you my heart was pounding when i got a page saying come to the principal's office....lol...i didnt know anything about it.,....
