..i was going to listen to ewen

ewen told me itd really shock the be-jeepers(or his words to that effect) if i did a set didnt complain and then walked away and said that was easy
WELL, i didnt quite manage that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i was thinking abou it, when he said we were doing 6x400 at 1500 pace which is 90s laps, pretty cruisey! yeah baby!
and then it was gonna be 34+ and im like 'crikey mikkey; that doesnt sounds good, and then the cool change wa gonna come thru and then there was fricking WIND, my FAVOURITE....NOT!!!

instead of bemoaning my fate, i went easy,so stu, if hte wind is ridiculous will you change it to 300s, no,hmmmmmm ill wait till the track to re-ask
..meet up with dave, whilst we walked through the wind, so jo, have you already had words with stu about reducing(he thinks im a sooky la-la) yes David, turns to stu...he says..adn i told her NO, i wasnt perturbed which was bizarre.IM USUALLY very perturbed by this sort of thing
the reps were 84,86,87,86,86,85
i sat in the front on the inside 5of the reps, making A sit on my outside and two people take one rep into the wind. My pacing today was crap, first 100 was 0ut but the rest was okay.... felt VERY VERY strong, no speed in the legs,the 400 this week wont be good!
ummmmmmmmm whilst i bent over double at the end, i kinda found it relatively easy, maybe i WILL run a good 1500 on thursday, unfortunately im also racing an 800 on sat and stu is NOT giving me a rest day hte day before(mr poo poo head) plththht but he doesnt value the little meets(its a coach thing, i hang on the little meets, as i said to stu-they keep me motivated) its different if im elite! and we all know im not
anyway, ill do what im told, my goal is march, ive gone sub 2.40 for the first time in shield,already did a 2.34.99 in oct so its going well and unfortunately the gold medallist from last year in the masters(20s ahead of us-she is WORLD ranked-top 10)) is injured and she is SUCH a lovely gal, but not sure if she will even compete, and i am a SLIM chance to be able to go with the silver gal from last year(but dont know whos coming up) so this year is a good year to FOCUS!

Ha ha! So your next post will be "I was going to listen to Stu"?

You need more coaching in how to pull off the "be-jeepers shock" session.

Good 400s really. I predict something between 5:37 and 5:43 - and 2:38 on Saturday.
