..i loved tonights set

yep i actually said that
200m reps are my all time fave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the plan 3-4 sets of 3x200@ 37s pace- a bit faster than 800 pace with walk back recov(approx 2min) with 3 min recov between sets

the whole first set was in the 37s
second set 1x37s+ 2x36
third-all 36s
fourth-everyone else dropped out except stu and myself- i kinda got yelled at-not directly but stu was heard to retort to someone who said -cant beat your gf eh, "well shes not running the pace shes supposed to) yep i was very naughty and ran 35.5 on the tenth rep which is NOT what the set is about(and i know that-stu can run heaps faster but we are trying to learn pacing for the first 200m of hte 800). i put my head down and let stu pace the next two cos he is spot on and im shite!
the next two were done in 37s which is what it was supposed to be


yes -i did not complain(i LOVE this set, suits me to a tee) felt good felt strong, felt controlled.... aim for sat sub 2.40-have NEVER EVER done that at shield comp before

performance review at work tomoz..yep def need a few more wines..lol

last night i didnt run but did an elongated pilates at home which i then tacked on to: walking lunges up and down hte hall(omg didnt my legs feel it today!) squats, one legged squats, military press, 2x15 pushups and a few other things too...good gal jo... oh and ive lost a full 1kg in the last week. down to 61.5 which usually i feel like im nearly skinny at, but alas alak, i still feel way too chunky! i think im startin g to feel a bit more serious about losing weight so i can run faster. its less than a second i need in the 800m, and whilst i can never take the 1st girl, the 2nd girl may(and only loosely may-she ran 2.29) may be in reach, if i eat well and train well-sorry im talking about the vic masters champs which is in march. oh and my all time pb(when i was 12) for the 1500 is 5:28 so i wouldnt mind giving that a crack in the next two years either-although i dont see that as very likely!

You have been a good gal. Don't give up on the 5:28 - that's our challenge event :)

I'll predict 2:38.4 for tomorrow.
