..i went for the 7kms as advise 3kms @ 5:10m/k 2kms @4:40min/k 2 kms @ 5:10m/km
well i thought after having done this session before and finding it tough i would find it much easier.. i did it at noon today and its not like it was hot or anything ...i just suck...big time!
actual
3kms @5:08min/km (stopped at 2kms to do a big stretch(back a little sore)
1km @ 4:46min/km
1km @ 4:39min/km (had to stop for a bit and get a drink and regain my composure-as i said im sure it shouldnt be that hard)
1km @ 5:07min/km
1km @ 5:04 min/kmand i almost stopped running at 6kms cos i was in struggle central
..was feeling a bit down in the mouth about it..so texted stu saying maybe i wasnt as fit as he thought i was and maybe this session is just too hard for me...
..anyway he tried ot be nice about it but im not convinced..i struggled a LOT
..and my BACK IS NOT COPING :( it has been sore after the consecutive days run, sore yesterday.. and sore enough today to make me stop and stretch whilst running.. i think i will only run 3 days thos week not 4.. i had been starting to think my back was completely better but really im just living in denial
..and i was a miserable git yesterday..i even cried..and i have to say it actually made me feel better.. i know im going ot be bit teary for the next 2 weeks ..only 2 more weekends with my family..well there will be other family members here-but they are the 'may ring you for 10mins here and there ' type... im already feeling lonely
and i wont even start on how much boys are annoying me at the moment
dont worry im fine today... just tutored ..so i have cash burning a hole in my pocket
..oh and spent about 3 hours ironing today..what the..thats more ironing than ive done in the last 3 years...
..oh and if you think i have your phone number(cos you have already given it to me... i dont...new phone.. please text me(my number is the same)..and dont forget to say who you are.. so i have your number again

...woke up and my back was super tight and a bit sore.. i called corrie to see if she could squeeze me in for a massage..thank goodness she could...
..it was a VERY painful massage..also she did the hip flexors-that is such a weird uncomfortable feeling...and the upper back was super tight and painful
..but thankfully my achilles is really quite good
..at least when i walked out i was a little free-er..
..anyway somehow my phone died today(it looks like it might have got wet??) i completely freaked out-i cant deal without my phone
..so i bought a new one- signed up for 24 months..eek..that always freaks me out a littl.. anyway bought N73 nokia phone-so playing around trying to figure it all out..its not a small phone by any means.. but it does have skype enablement which means i can $12 a month for 100mins free skype talk which is good with my sister moving
horrible flatmate has come home but hasnt said anything yet about the note which said leaving open food around for days was disgusting(yes a note-you cant talk to her-she just flies off the handle).. maybe she realises it was disgusting..she has at least cleaned it up now...
a much much better day than yesterday...
not completely sure what training im supposed to do this week..i think im supposed to keep kms roughly the same..not entirely sure as to the separate sessions....

..will post about the rest of the crap day..will edit later ,.when im not so cranky la la
this year(front door kicked in/front windscreen smashed/back windscreen smashed/jo reverses in grannies car/flatmate smashes into my car/now someone hits me..maybe the universe is telling me to move away from the death car and get a new one)
..ok just got A phone call from morsey..id kinda forgotten i posted before..brain went a bit vague..it think the headache is just a stress headache ....ive been stressed all day today
anyway the car guy..i hit my brakes cos the car in front of me stopped..and i stopped in time and was happy and then THUD..guy rams me from behind.... (smacked the back of my head on my car seat...stupid inertia...i get out and hes like ..what happened....i looked at him and said ..well i stopped cos the guy in front did and you smacked into me...his car was NOT in great shape... my little festiva seems to have survived great! a bit of a scratch on the back..so im like..well im prepared to let it go and you can just fix your own since its your fault...
..yes i shouldve exchanged numbers..but i didnt...i kinda freeze up a little when i crash- and we were creating quite a traffic jam.. and well really i jus didnt want to be there any more
..went for an 11.5km run today..running at 9am in the rain(have decided long run pace is about 5:25) which i stuck too.... ummmmmm first 5kms my legs were like lead...i was actually trying to remind myself i like running and remember how upset i was when i couldnt do it... but the drowned rat(me) didnt seem to be responding.... a about 9.5kms my back started to get really quite tight..so even though the plan was 12kms i cut it short a 11.5kms..very tight back...a little sore now..
..was REALLY sad this morning..was thinking about my sis leaving and was tearing up a bit...usually i would spend the weekend and them being away in tassie made me think about what its going to be like when they are away...and ive had a busy weekend :( after work drinks(early) fri / sat aths/out sat night/run sund morning /drinks for a friend's 50th this arvo ....... anyway am sad little jojo.. doesnt help that i know im going to have a fight with my flatmate when she gets home..cos i told her leaving food lying around(uncovered) since thursday is disgusting
..havent seen cg at all for a week and i think i probs p'd him off yesterday..i sent a txt message i probably shouldnt have ... damn those drunk texts.... wha a moody little cow i am..lets see i must be up to mood 20 for the day

..ooooh i got to compete today..all smug and happy...AND I WAS RESTRAINED..yeppppp..thats right ME!!!+restrained..same sentence
i did EXACTLY what i was told :) ive decided(unless im in a smarta%s pain in the a%s kinda mood) that im kinda dutiful person and want people to be pleased with me
..in the absence of anyone telling me what to do the only person to please is myself..which means run fast and hard..
but i had instructions..which i happily fulfilled
lets get the very poor laughable only for point field events done with first.. jav 11.31 shotput 6.03
800m told to do 3 mins even pacing(90s laps)... first 400 was 86 and second lap was 91s so 2:57 and wasnt breathing hard at all... and when a girl overtook me with a hundred to go..i refrained from speeding up!!! excellent
200m relay..didnt sprint but probs a bit too fast
400m..told myself 80-85 so cruised(literally) in at 76.9 and it felt pretty easy(the funny think is my pb is 69.9) but the first race of last season was 75s...(going flat out) so it definitey shows i am faster than last year
AND wait for it.. ieven did a 2.3k warm up and 2 km cool down...unheard of in the past.. i am smug little pussycat(and icing my achilles now before i go out) someone sensible seems to have possessed little jojo :)
OK..heres my morning tho-decide to go get a spare set of keys cut-since no spares since i lost my keys and now use the spares..birl cuts car key, key doesnt opn car,jojo return, boy takes key glares at other girl and fixes it, car doesnt open door..check and it starts engine,jojo returns..boy rezaps, still doesnt open door,jojo returns...maybe you should just start again..new key from scratch,,,still doesnt open door,jojo returns showing him where it is bigger on the other key,boy rezaps and comes out,nope ddoesnt opne door,boy rezaps,jojo returns, boy looks at me..defeated and says heres your money back.... soo little miss jojo refrained from calling htem a goose and trundled out of the shop and waited til she got into her car before one single expletive was released!
...ummmmmmmmmmmmmm how hard is it to cut a frickin key..now i have to go elsewhere goddamit..when i got home i tried it(and bent the keys too but managed to lock it..but fat chance woth unlocking it...good grief charlie brown
okey doke,this happy little pudding is about to go dry her hair and get ready to go out for some drinkies with some of her buds! time to make myself look pretty and bat my eyelids....LOL
still to be told how far i can run tomorrow...but i think it was 12 ish kms?????? assuming the achillles is good.. well when i leave my car out it is going to be at least 6kms away LOL so ill do a sideways loop and then go get it

..the problem with having intelligent friends... is that they try to work things out that they are not supposed to know LOL one of my friends(well two actually) have done some super-sleuthing.. or at least tried to..i received a completely out of the blue text message today from a friend asking me a question.. that may or may not have been true.. however..the fact remains that these people are trying to work out the answer.... i was somewhat surprised!!!!!
so as to my run(competing) for tomorrow..i have been advised that i can run the 800m if i am prepared to forgo my pride and run a 3min-ish 800m(i have never ever ever in my whole life run slower than 3 mins for an 800m :( even when i was 9years old) and then maybe a 400(AND THE RELAY) however i did decide to be completely sensible and said if i was advised to not run, then i wouldnt run..actually it was quite funny..i was rung up and this is how the call went......
.you know the 3000m steeple..well you cant run it....
..the 100m you cant run it! (this actually is about the level of my sense of humour-i should sooo teach primary school...
..heres a primary school joke(and maths)
.what did the zero say to the eight
..nice belt..LOL ..cute and clean
..gotta go buy some wine..although was contemplating going out(except for the fact i didnt organise myself and still havent...oopsies..) am still considering what to do
..hopefully whatever i do..i wont ever make a drunken post like last time... um that has definitely elicited some comments from people..oopsies..ummm and it was a TAD embaraasing..im still hoping LOTS of people forgot to read(although a bit hard when jh,.....posts a LINK to it on his blog plthththththththththht)
how do you stop a mole digging up the garden...
..hide the shovel......LOL
whats orange and sounds like a parrot
..a carrot...LOL
..what did tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill....
..here come the elephants (lol this one kills me)
..what did tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over hte hill wearing sunnies???
..nothing.... he didnt recognise them ...LOL

..my heart rate always seems to make it seem like i am working harder than i am... although thats why i hate it..people forget that average is just that...some people will always be higher(by a bit) and some people will always be lower... i really want to do a max HR test to be sure
160 doesnt feel to me like im working that hard... today my HR was extremely high..and whilst it felt hard and i was breathing heavy..i couldve pushed harder
..my resting heart rate is usually about 48(although i noticed driving over there it was a little elevated
anyway was like a little kid at christmas..all day i couldnt wait for the day to be over so i could go and run some reps(first time since before the achilles and only the 3rd since april..but this time i was allowed..woo hoo
so 15 min warmup @6min -ish pace(Hr was 150-155 which seemed a bit high..)(2.5km)
then 3x400m reps.. i used to be able to crank out 80s reps for 400m and do about 6is of them... umm 90s was a whole lot harder today..ill put the HR in even thoguh i dont want to
90s 181bpm
91s 185bpm
91s 191bpm but it didnt feel that bad:i mean i was breathing hard... all with 70 s recovery between
then 1.9km cool down and lots of stretches
anyway achilles was very sore during the first km(as it always is) but loosened up..a bit sore now..but not too bad..and back is fine..did loads of stretches..oh and my core work
..pat on head for jojo
and yes ajh.. you did mention once that we were on the same biorhythms...which is quite amusing..that means once every 5 weeks or so you must feel a bit teary LOL
..im a happy girl... only one thing today would make me EVEN happier than i am at the moment ;)
dont even feel tired after the session
