..oooh i do looove to race


.what a perfect weekend
..saturday morning we went on a shopping spree - to smith st.. where i bought 3 dri fit tops for $15 each at new balance-not the usual colours i buy those-quite bright
..2 pairs of running shorts, a sports bag..and couldnt find any spikes at nike outlet so we went to runners world in kew and bought some new spike- jana zoom :) i love them..got heaps of compliments on them too!!! see piccy


then dropped in to see a gf(a new one for stu to meet) who shouted us lunch which was a lovely ciabatta roll

then off to coburg to race!!!!how much do i love to race- it is so fantastic

recall 2 weeks ago i ran an abysmal 2:59 in the 800. so i was worried that i had lost all my mojo-so 2 was stu-if i had run that time again i think he was going to look at my training program

aim was for 80s first lap- i put myself in the 2:45 heat.. ran 79s for the first lap, but was feeling pretty tired -NO KICK in the last 100m at all...finished with 2:44 so pretty happy with that actually
..then onto the 4x200-was pretty happy with that-finishing very strong
..not much time then til the 400- 70.7 which considering this time last year i was running 75..im very happy
...then literally still puffing -jogged over to the 3km start to NOT race it- jogged around (literally) with a lady who was planning on just slower than 5min/kms so whilst the time looked bad-it was not a race ..hear that ewen!!! it was 15:41...
and then out with stu -my very lovly bf :) to hang out with HEAPS of people from my old school.. got pretty tiddly-had a dance on the dance floor and then came home and before 2 long it was 7;16 with the alarm going off (stu thinks it very funny to set the alarm for that time because i was yelling out in my sleep the other day..is it 7:16 yet??? i tend ot occasionally have outbursts....LOL

then a very 'not so pleasant' 60 min run at the you-ies. then stu and i had a delightful brekky/brunch followed by a massage.MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN my legs were so so so sore-everything hurt...

I'll tell Jana how good her spikes were when I see her next at Interclub.

2.44 is pretty good for this early in the season - same with 70.7.

Good on you for running with that lady - we need more less speedy runners at Interclub. I'll tell you my 1500 then, and I wasn't jogging... 6:02! How bad is that?
