...barney is not my friend at the moment

..errr so the back was really quite sore on sat..i took my bathers in the car in case i had to stop the session.this was quite likely :(
anyway planned set 4-5 1000s @ 97s laps fortunately got changed to 800s at same pace 3:14 -we went at 9am in the morning yesterday and it was HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
i felt horrible.... 3lap warm up...5-6 strides at 60-70m, then into the 800s with a couple of tagger alongs
errr...got sucked in by the young'uns and did a 42 first 200 bit fast jojo..then settled
rep 1 3:10 (90s/100s) -3:58min/kms
rep 2 3:08 (91/97) -3:55min/kms
rep 3 3:14 (92/102) -4:02min/kms and i let stu know at this point that there were NO more 800s in the legs-well i kinda wailed it from the shade..they are fast reps for me...practically my 1500m race pace!!
he wanted me to do 2 more 600s but it just wasnt there...no oomph
so 400s it was
92s (3:50min/kms)
92s
then a 4 lap cooldown so did 6.5kms...a tough little set-had to lay in the shade for a while afterwards-was very overheated lassie..back was absolutely dreadful-it hurt the whole time i was running...so in the afternoon took some of stus VERY heavy duty anti inflamms..spent ages...massaging glutes by rolling on tennis ball, did my pilates at home and not sure which one it was but the pain was then tolerable

then we went to the soccer which was fun-apparently i talk a lot at the soccer..lol.... then home and pizza yum-and i went to bed-too tuckered out
..then this morning a run at the you-ies
taped up like a mummy(yesterday i wasnt sure if i could manage a run because of stupid back)
70min run...very hot-first lap was 50 mins which the last 10mins is this grinding...not huge...but annoying hill..and then another20 on a mainly flat bit....

then stu and i came home and cooked a delicious brekky poached eggs(which i cooked) on cape seed loaf while stu bbqd some ham(love chrissy leftovers)and tomatoes with a lovely juice on our outdoor setting :) he had said it would be better if we had been truly decadent and had champers...lol.... man he did love that bella the other night-he scoffed nearly the whole lot.....we were not decadent however.
am seeing the sports doctor on wed :( after pilates... i dont think there is any way that im not having dry needling in the back :( :( ooh how i hate them

So what will you do when it does get warm and you have to train in low 30s?

Well done on both sessions, building nicely and you should run some good 8s & 15s and maybe a fast 400m in March.
