..a race of sorts

...lol..it probably comes as no surprise that i can be at times a grumpy la-la...hehe
..anyway todays grumpy la la ness(and i might add i am about to have TOM as a guest so be patient) was because stu was picking someone up which meant i might not get picked up(and i wasnt grumpy that he was picking anyone up) but that i may not get time to warm up.... but then i started to ..as stu would say"get over myself' and realise tonight was about fun and NOT really a race' and then i calmed down and all was good with the world!!!!
anyway: morning
went to a gallery exhibition small one(free) that a friend is having (101 poath road-hughesdale) very good-open after 11).they had dresses, photography, pictures, candlestick holders, pots all sorts of things
met six people from work-then had lunch with them, then shopping for lollies,then made 40 little lolly baskets-32 for stu's athletes, 8 for family for xmas day, wrapped two gifts for two of stu's helpers, then off to the track for the 1km Western Aths gift-handicap based on your 800
-had no idea what i was aiming for but decided to be waaaaaaay conservative after the last time-ran 43 for first 200-oops bit too slow
but very consistent for the rest 3:44(not my pb-i once did in training 3:43) but then i raced tuesday, hard session sunday,45 min pool run wed-not ideal build up..anyway stu thinks i shouldve run 3:40-im happy with 3:44..and yes maybe im making excuses but so be it...
..then drinks-super organised-cut up lime, took vodka,took ice cubes and soda..yum yum-stu got great pressies-yay he does deserve it too..and i gave him his coach pres yesterday(all the other athletes are giving at the mo- a melbourne victory tshirt :) he wore it today so he must like it

oh and cut my finger today god knows on what-yesterday i banged my head so hard on a corner i had to kneel and lay down for a while-note to self-must try to be careful./..lol..as IF
