The year in review

ok i plagiarised a little from Em's blog here and decided to review after reading hers.

By the way for all of you who think my spelling is all over the shop, its not my spelling,it's just my typing, i was quite surprised when i went to spell plagiarise that i wasnt quite sure how to spell it i actually went and checked it first.(and if i wanted to be grammatically more correct I could be, but OMG it would take me longer than thoughts just spilling onto the page!!!)

ANyway my year in review
Running
-beginning of the year was awesome
adult pbs in
400(65.1) gold at masters
800 (2.34.76)bronze at masters-and ran with a limp due to achilles
1500 (5.29.x) silver at the masters(and the event which caused the achilles.d'oh)

then got a gold in the 800 at the national masters(sounds better than it is though)

then the first of a few setbacks
injured and on cructhes due to my achilles. came back way too quickly
raced sandown (48 ish -only been back running couple weeks after 5-6 weeks off)
raced 15 kkm-did a pb 70/71, other races were here nor there

youyangs 15km racee, took a major tumble at the 12.5kms and still have not very pretty scars on the knees
then the half mara-pulled up limp the wed before, rested acouple of days and had the most painful run of my life. my feet were numb and aching and had to wal every few mins. missed my pb by a minute 1:44.x
raced the Tan knowing i shouldnt have-was limping in the warmup-had to stop and walk twice, still managed a pb, just 17:18
then the MAJOR setback of the year-diagnosed with the stress fracture of the hip(Karen later downraded to a stress reaction but treatment is identical so whats hte diff)
12 weeks off runnnig, started 3.5 weeks ago

LESSONs LEARNT
twice i ignored my body and twice i ended up on cructhes.
If limping into the stadium when walking-DO NOT RUN
If limping in the warm up and the pain is getting worse not better, DO NOT RUN

-no brainers really

-if i dont run, i get VERY fat. have put on 4-5 kgs in the 12 weeks downtime.

goal for next year- they dont have to be pbs, but i want to race the 400/800 at the states and run as well as i can
and please please please PRETTY please stay INJURY FREE


ps am on a detox, and seriously these cleansing tablets sure as hell cleanse the system.................. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
