stu is back to his,old tricks(and a mega post)

..yep he had a murderous gleam in his eye today as we set out for ferny creek. seriously the boy is trying to KILL me
yes jo only 60-70 mins. oh okay thats not too bad. and we did fricking 84mins...lol-there was some walking i must say
it was wet, muddy and slippery. not my fave conditions with my back i can tell you. anyway all the juniors took off like the clappers and i was struggling to keep up for the first half hour loop. i panted to stu- i cant keep that pace up...... anyway he mustve felt kindly towards me as he said we would slow it down...thats probably because we did HILLS.....................
we drifted off in teh other direction from the pack, got a bit lost and stu's like we'll just go up this track for a bit and then decide(this was at the 45min mark) and um it was called hillclimb track which kinda tells you that there are fricking BIG hills.....lol. it was also at this stage that i started to have quite some discomfort in the hip flexor region(every step was hurting and the uphills were very unpleasant)
im hoping that its just fatigued and a bit niggly-anyway gonna hit the pool tomorrow(stu says i only have to do 30mins cos im racing next week xoxox woohoo)

oh yeah did i mention school break up last night so a BZILLION wines before 9 oclock(home by 9.30, barely coherent, and unm guess who lost their bloody wallet... ummm looks at the ground, kicks the dirt a bit and thinks what a loser they are...yep thatd be me! very shirty about being such a LOSER(yes double pun!!!!!!!!!!) and going grrrrrr that's gonna make qld tough if i dont have any cards with me...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and then i remember i had $150 in my drawer so at least i was covered for cash for the weekend
anyway, because im a HUGE user of credit card i was able to ring the cab company as the receipt has all the taxi detauls-woohoo(as i was sure it was there since i had paid for the cab!!!!!!!!!!) after 3 phone calls, the cab driver responded to the cab company and yes he does have my wallet.
im going to give him a reward i think(cos i know cabbies dont make much money(in general)) so i will drive over to nunawading tomorrow to pick it up...how much reward should one give??? i was thinking i would be quite generous as NOT cancelling my cards is awesome. how do you think $50 sounds..

nyway training since tuesday
wed OMG how tired am i ..........ridiculously...to the point where i didnt train. i very rarely skip sessions but i was just EXHAUSTIPATED-yes i know its not a word!!!!
thursday... supoosed to do 3xfast 800/1km- was trying to convince myself on the way there that it was my type of set-wasnt really working though...lol
got out of the car and was almost blown off my feet-it gets windy in the werribee wind tunnel....
anyway i wasnt going to ask stu to reduce as he gets annoyed and already thinks im SOFT a custard......................... but it musta been windy cos stu was talking to burkie and had decided to reduce OMFG, where were those flying PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i said how about 20 x 200s stu(kinda joking cos i thought hed probs make us do 600s)
anyway the other coach also did 200s so stu did too!!!!!! woohoo...200s are right up my alley

anyway in groups of 5 with the diagonal jog along hte grass (aim for 45s) and walk after every 5th
tired tired tired legs from the 15km
first set were all 45
second set were all 45sec and i was starting to think 10 more..good grief
..anyway third set starting to feel good- 1st one 42s..oops and the the rest 44s
fourth set felt very good, and at one stage claires gone speedy jo-first rep so i went okay and slowed it down to ummmmmm 42s, then the rest were all 43s
a ripper set- as i said right up my alley , please sir may i have some more(ie do it next week with a Twist(ie oliver)-its okay i find myself funny
its still a distance set, but the shuffle recovery still meant i never fully got my breath back in the 5 reps. the odd thing is, last year i HATED HATED-with a passion- the continuity of the float now i actually think it is VERY beneficial-9kms for the night

AND its my biggest month for the year. i just passed 175kms this month(i know not much for others but HUGE for me)
if i keep this up i may actually have a good 1500 come track season
-dont think ill pb the 10km next week, but hoping to go sub 45

oh BTW-im very fricking tired after todays run..i think i am soft as custard!
ciao chippolatas and chipolettes
