..first race back-halfway there

-well i woke up feeling quite well-made scrambled eggs on toast-using rice milk instead of cows milk to try to alleviate this week long diarrhea
..then dufus bf bought some asics yesterday at runners world without trying them on so miss jo had to trundle into the car for an hour to exchange them..cos very nice bf runs the u6s at little A's

hten had to scrummage around to find my watch-couldnt find it so went to target to buy a crappy one-d'oh cheapest was $26-i can get a stopwatch watch for $15 at big dub(W)....grrrrr so scrambled around under my bed some more and eventually found it-
then stu came home-we read the shocking 'bitch slapping' that was going on on the forum, and headed off for race day..yay jojo claps hands-love to race
aims sub 2:40 800(this time last year 1st race back ran 2:51) 400 sub 70(last year)
-anyway was a little disappointed when the wind sprung up a little-of course stu didnt agree there was wind, but then everyone else i spoke to mentioned the wind..
so 2:41.x.. was initally disappointed-but then it wasnt a bad run-the third 200 wasnt great but that was where the wind was and it just killed me- i ran a great last 200 and surged and overtook a couple of people and actually won the heat i was in(3rd and last heat mind you) :)
yay-it was nice to have a real race-not just be trailing for the whole run

..then the 400-umm start HUUUUUUURT my back- a bit of wincing-and then ran hard into the wind ,came home ok and hit 69.91 which i was pretty happy-so a SB (seasons best) and a possible SB9not sure til the results come out) for the 800 but i think just off the SB

then din din with hmmmm who could that be...lol... now home...aaaaaah how much this gal loves to race..

think i may do the milers this thursday-i am convinced i am in sub 2:40 form

Hey mate hope your guts are a bit better. What bitch slapping? Have I missed drama somewhere?

Wow! I got the 100ths perfect for the 400 :)

Congrats on the SBs. 2:41 now means you're on target for low 2:30s.

Bitch Slap, what a perfect description, was pretty funny though hey.

Great running, how about Saturday was the warm up and Thursday can be the main event :-)
