stair crazy-get it,,,huh!

lol
yesterday
whew what a day, where to start
got lost on the way to the radiologist-it was like a farce from a movie seen, im somehow in front of my sisters car and theyre gesticulating wildly from the car behind, how am i supposed to know pull over and let us pass is different from turn left here...... lol they were pointing left hysterically-

anyway once in for the operation i was all scatty and pacing so went for a run. stu asked me to do 7kms at half mara paxe 4.40-4.45min/km..um thats also pretty close to my 10km pace, and i seem to be able to race a whole LOT FASTER than my trainng implies. i knew it would be too hard but thought id give it a go
managed to last for only 300m the first go and thought -you know what, todays not the day. also are there any fricking paths longer than about 2kms here? i cant find them. ended up running on the road in a bike lane with a fair amount of traffic and crossing multiple roundabouts-not conducive to fast running. found about a 1km bit of road with bike path(on the road). then jogged a bit and did 1km at 4.42 then jogged then did 2kms at same pace so i thought it was okay,but i didnt hit the set. did 7 difficult kms.legs dont love me at the moment
:( how mean setting my coach is giving me that set(notice i use my coach not my bf...lol)

then he said i should try it agin today, i tried to tell him this is NOT a set i can do by myself when i dont have a path that just goes. im NO good at locating paths whilst in full flight..anyway as soon as i set off today it was windy and i went nup, going to jog instead
did 30mins(strugglesville had a hotel room with my name on the booking sheet, and then did a stair session(was fun) and hard!
6x6 floors of stairs
Each floor 14 stairs(in 2 lots of 7 with a 180 degree turn)-took approx 30-32s-im surprised thats all it took,and thats with me doing two steps in the turn around so i would be facing the stairs square on to protect my back from doing a sideways leap

i then walked down quickly, 60-70s walk recovery(again surprised it only take 1min to do 6 floors!!!) and off i went again
this certainly worked up a sweat, and 5 mins jog cool down

oh and due to the power outage(7hours) i have actually walked up and down to level 7, 6 times apart from my training set, so have traversed up at LEAST 1000 stairs today...hence the title(but a pun on stir crazy too-hehe i do make myself laugh)

AM STUFFED. oh yeah quad a but niggly, but i think thats from the 25 lunges per leg that i did in the waiting room(yes there were other people but it was a BIG room,whilst mum was in theatre(also did some bridges in the waiting room) have i mentioned im not good at just sitting in one spot for long periods... lol
my fobese nephew did nothing but EAT crap the whole time. "OH jo he doesnt hve to watch what he eats today...." didnt say it but thought, why NOT-surely its importnt to teach good eating habit during times of stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as for my mother-the operation went well(we think) will have final confirmation once the nodes are tested for 'hotspots' but it looked okay apparently.but then(she has allergies) and had an allergic reaction to the pain medication and vomited for hours this morning(i had to leave the hopsital(i went shopping-i cant take vomiting)) so she wasnt released but should be tomorrow

going to buy her a laptop tomorrow(then she wont be so stressed about getting in to work when she does radiatoi therapy) just a basic one...oh yeah probs shouldve told stu i was doing that... lol,
does anyone remember that ad for the State Bank, its your money Ralph
