more homework and quite a good run really

..this is the first run since the 10-er where ive actually felt reasonable
got up this morning after a lovely sleep in til nearly 9-ok i wasnt sleeping just laying around

then did some hwk- correcting year 9 papers..for a while and then it was time to go and hang out with stu and the rugrats(we went out for pizza last night) and we did some shopping...i just cant help myself-step out for half hour and i spend a couple of hundred dollars
target was having a sale on bedding, 2 quilt covers later-plus matching pillow cases for stu and i, a manchester united cover for Connor and a spiderman blanket and ben10 blanket for the othr 2 boys plus some nice

then home for a quickie lunch..oh did i mention STU cooked us all the most delicious omelette for brekky (even he was proud of them) they had turkey, tomato and cheese in them.,,,,yummy yummy(and herbs too of course)
then off for the pack run at brimbank where stu told me i was to do a 40-45mins run with 10min tempo..so at 15min start tempo and then turn around 22-23mins...
i was running with a pack(they were sitting on sub 5min pace before the tempo, so i slowed with elyse to about 5:10 pace and we were only really about 10mins behind, then at 15 mins we all went tempo and sat between 4:18-4:24min/km for 10mins) at 23 mins elyse and i turned around..burkie was saying why dont you keep going til 10min tempo, then jog for a bit and turn around.No because i only want to run 45 mins not 50mins..so we turned around and did our last 2mins(or so of temp) errrr except for the fact that i didnt restart the watch and ummmm may have made poor elyse run a buit longer at temp(maybe extra min??) and ummm then i realised i didnt pay ANY attention whatsoever to any turns we made.... and ummm nor diud elyse..so had to go up a few tracks for a squiz...its so HARD when im EXPECTED to be the one who knows where she is going...because to be FRANK, i am complete RUBBISH with directions(give me a map and ill find anything-leave me without one-and i can get lost
anyway poor elyse was a bit worried i think....lol..a dn she was working pretty hard..i slowed a bit when i realised i was running still at 5min pace.... anyway we finished over 9kms at 5:03 pace in the end...and fortunately at around the time i was meant to finish -i said to some random guy---um is there any car park nearby????? lol and yes there was, but i had missed the turnoff so we had to go up this shitty little hill...lol..then stretches and a couple of planks 30s front 30side 30front 30 side...must do this more often

it was a great day though-hanging around at the park..i went and had a bit of a kick of the soccer ball with Connor and Kaelan..it was quite funny, id push Connor out of the way so Kaelan could have a go with the footy
..then home and finished marking year 9 exams-with kaelan yabbering away at me-lol,,,the new stools are pretty cool-it my new hwk spot

and now i AM done..having my 2nd wine(yes it is early)

oh and i succumbed this morning(back was REALLY bad(and it hurt during the night) so i took the naprosyn 750mg anti inflamm.. its amazing what a difference they make...i just couldnt take it any more :(

That's speedy. Remind me never to invite you on a tempo run!

When you wrote "quire a good run", I thought you might have run through a quagmire ;)
