..ok that made me snort!

that heading is addressed to ewens comment from yesterday...lol... im lucky stu didnt drag me out of bed to go running on sunday ...lol .... 9he kept running for THe 6 weeks he was sick..yada yada yada(are you as bored as me yet....lol)
we ALL know im SOFT-but you know what-i can LIVE with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-anyway no running sunday or monday and wasnt sure how i would go today... still sniffly and not feeling great....
proposed set 5x3min efforts with 1min walk and 1 min shuffle recovery.after the warm up i requested a walk recovery as my breathing wasnt great(i also used ventolin as i tend to get a bit of exercise induced asthma when i have a cold) he said see how i go! start with walk and jog recovery(hmmm surprise...NOT)
so he said to aim for 96s laps(4min/km) BUT COULD DROP BACK TO 98S LAPS(PRETTY GENEROUS CONSIDERING LAST YEAR I WAS DOING 105-110S LAPS I SPOSE!)-oops caps lock.not yelling and too lazy to retype!!!!!
elyse(who also has a cold) and is a great little(and i mean little) running partner-literally sits on my hip and CANT be shaken!!!!! a couple of others droppped off for numerous reason so it was just her and i for the duration. we sat on 96s laps and really didnt drop off(a littel slower ont eh second lap) but we did remarkably well. i wa amazed.
then stu and i went out for dinner for date night(which really means we MUST go out for dinner) :) , then i marked a year 12 SAC and now a very quick blog

i have been allocated to the first team for the relay which is a bit scary-cos there are people in the 2nd team who are potentially faster but i have beaten this year(or for other reasons-ie medical are in the 2nd team)(but i am SURE it is because of the hills that i have beaten people!) id better run my A off this week as i wont be happy if i let the team down by not being in the top four fastest cos i shouldve been dropped otherwise...dont get me wrong-i have earned my spot-but that is through cross country racing-i MAKE up lots of ground on hills on those who are faster than me on the flat! oh well nothing wrong with running with a bit of the fear in your belly :(

As long as you didn't blow snot all over your keyboard - they're buggers of things to clean.

96s laps are good - must get down to that if I'm to win our 1500 bet.

Suck up to Stu and get him to put you 2nd or 3rd leg - less pressure than 1st or 4th.
