another 30mins and Happy New Year

yep got up and went for the run this morning.
30mins in blocks of 7.5mins. felt fine but some slight discomfort at the end. not limping or anything-just aware of the left hip(as i have been after hte elliptical)
rather than panic i headed onto the internet to check it out. Apparently it is quite normal to have some slight discomfot when comning back from a stress fracture, i noticed a few articles which described 'phantom pain' or the brain is thinking the pain there and another who said basically you become hyper alert to that site.
Im not overly worried and will mention to Karen. it onl lasted for a bit and wasnt pain.
so wouldve done just over 5kms but it felt better than last time so whilst i was still happy to have my walk breaks, i am getting there-SLOWLY

the PLAN
Stu says i will mainly be training with the 400m runners when i come back with a few slightly longer reps but no more than 600s. Given that i wont really have a base nor time to build one, we are going to probably have to work on shorter sharper.
i will only be racing the 400s and 800s at states this year.

i checked out Ems blog from 2007 to see what was probs next on my program(sorry Em-a bit of stalking there-lol)
after the 4x7.5mins for 3 non consecutive days and then the 3 x10mins(which i start next Tuesday) it appeared she did 4x10min and then 3x15mins and then was pretty much back to doing other speed and stuff, so i have my fingers crossed that im only two-ish weeks away from starting reps.

oh and i bought another Garmin-YES another garmin, as i killed hte last one by leaving it charging for about two weeks

am quite broke i have to say, been overspending a bit
-will need to tighten the belt a bit and hopefully also lose weight so the belt isnt quite so tight.... d'oh

happy New Year
NO resolutions for me, just try to enjoy my running, run some pbs, stay injury free, manage my back as best i can, and of course just enjoy the other things-and maybe buy a doggie :)
