..bucketing down

not really much fun when it is bucketing down and the wind is massive massive

stu has wanted me to do 3x1200 m but there really was no chance in the horrific conditions. as it was our usual 800s of 3.12 were dropped back to 100s laps(and couldnt even keep this up)



the 2 young girls started out way too fast in the first lap-i went my pace(had to stop to do up shoe laces at 500m d'oh) and went through about 3.38(incliding shoe lace tying...lol)



2nd rep girls went out too fast in the first lap and i overtook them in the 2nd lap same for the 3rd rep. was having tummy issues, had to go to toilet 4 times, 3 times before training and once after the third rep..been happening a bit lately

my reps were 3.23-3.26 which isnt ridiculous since it really was dreadful, no big recovery either, justa diagonal walk across and start immediately



trying to keep this cold at bay-have been sniffling for 2.5 weeks now. it just has to wait til AFTER the half!!!!!!!!!!!!





very tired, had to write an extra assemsssment task bc someone else was incompetent...grr am exhausted

God, it was awful wasn't it, we were warming up when the hail hit and all went and hid under somebody's front porch!

We just did 1 minute on/1 minute off fartlek for 20 minutes and then packed it in, I didn't even bother timing the reps.

Still, serious hardcore points were earned :-)

Can't believe you got out and ran in that! It has been freaking woeful. Respect.

4:32 a k including shoelace tying is good!

Look after yourself. Wouldn't want your cold to turn as bad as mine.
