..how much do i love track!

...i was sooooooooo happy when stu told me we were off to the track tonight!!!! especially since it was a surprise!
i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEE the track. It also means i get to talk to at least a couple of adults. Stu doesnt quite get what this means to me cos he is talking to dults all day!!!!!!!
.I work all day with kids. I actually crave some adult conversation even if it is just to say hello!!!!!!
Not only that-i have been having pretty crappy days with the back-OLA of late,and the track is certainly MAJOR loads easier on it than the bitumen that tues nights usually is.(i spoke with Bel tonihght who is a physio and she actively agreed that hte track would be majorly beter for my back than bitumen!)
I know it wont make stu happy and he will be annoyed, but if im still having issues(since May really), i may go to the track next week on tues as well. I have to make some effort with the back at the moment, cos its a bit yukky :(
any old hoo... tonights session was the same as a usual tues, which involved 3min efforts with 1min walk 1 min jog/shuffle-still disagree that its much of a recovery ..lol..... yep thats the 400 runnner talking!

so i sat on between 4min/km pace and 4:03min/km pace -and every rep was between 740 and 750m which i was pretty damn happy with i must say.. and there was also a bit of an annoying wind up the straight too!!!!!
yep the track is ALL good!


racing saturday-yay!

Have you tried MSM? It's a supplement, supposed to be good for joint pain.

Stu was being kind giving you 2 minute recoveries. If he was mean he'd cut that down to a 100m shuffle in 45 seconds.

Good luck on Saturday.

So does the Aths season sort of change from XC to track soon? Is that how it works, first part of season XC, then second part track?
