.. OMG miss j was a bit tired at the end of the weekend.... i laughingly told stu that i needed to go back to work to recover
...tough day at work today...then got home and had diarrhea AGAIN ... and then a bit of a run....40mins at easy pace
got quite a lot of homework today..... hmmmmmm
ive decided when you have a squilllion rugrats at your house- your washing explodes-there is so many loads of washing going on!!!!!
..big day yesterday....had to go to Olympic park for work to watch some of my school boys run ..
then ducked off to pilates.... where i was really working them-gee my legs were so bad they were shaking...couldsnt even contemplate running satright after-jelly legs or what!!!! some of my weights have gone up but the hardest exercise of all-i think im doing it more correct and going lower to 90 degress and the back leg goes behind and down the back of the step
..anyway stu ebing stu-would not let me out of running...i got the ... if you want to run 2:30s you need to run.... so i dutifully went out for a horrible dead legged run...30 -35mins so i only did 30 mins and there was 3 surges at 3km pace-stu said 4:45 but wanted 4:30s for 500m at a hit.... so did 3 of those 4:26min/km pace 4:22min/km 4:25min/km i was stuffed!!!!! and then today during my long run, my legs were super super heavy... 60mins slow today but a bit of a struggle(and i had only had one drink last night)
great night last night tho-went over to rungwood-god thats a long way
stu has gone all gourmet and is making dinner for my brother and his wife..ummm doesnt anyone know what the f%$# mirin is??? well i do now on my shopping expedition
adulst entree:dahl with naan,
kids entree : pasta bows with bruscetta,parmesan and peas
main: tuna steak skewers with bok choy,snow pea and black sesame seeds salad
from the simply bill books/tv sow..(bill granger) hes about to go marinade so i spose i should go help
hes about to go start ma
..day started off badly(well last night) i kinda cracked it at stu, had a tanty and slept on the couch til 2am...lol..and then crept to bed..d'oh he woke up when i climbed in..damn his army...can hear everything in his sleep!!!!! lol
im the kinda person thats lets little things escalate when all i really need to do is actually have a conversation a little earlier-im a bottler i am
anyway...no biggie...stu is a honey..on my way home tonight , i got a lovely text saying drive safe, its wet yada yada yada..he is too cute sometimes...oops he may not like me saying that...oh well suck it up babycakes..you are mostly nice :)
sore ankle today...which makes me angry..has been sore since last saturday....... i have had enough injuries so DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT ANKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!N so i have strapped it today..it is the ankle i hurt quite badly at bball a few years ago when i tore both the medial and lateral ligaments concurrently(y do things by half?) and had an elephant leg and a bruise which was quite literally half way up my leg) occasionally it gets sore-but usually only for a day or two
no running today and way grumpy..and my year 10 boys just about drove me to distraction....not a day to put in the teaching annals anyway
...and then home to a lovely meal which stu cooked for me and 3 boys and his committee meeting(3 other adults)-cos he cant go out for it with the littlies in tow :)
anyway..maybe the meeting has finished and i can go back and rejoin and be an actual part of my house instead of in my room like a recluse
out to dinner with duckgirl and mark tomorrow..and hopefully jay :) and corrie and maybe even em...although hopefully everone is warned that we have a squillion kids with us...lol
..youre coach who normally trains with you-plans on not doing the training session. it means its gonna be a tough-un
..stu said we were going to be doing 300s at 400pace although he has since amended to HOT300s..so racing 300s
anyway these were the time
time for 300 min/km 5-7mins break
53.6 (2:58.6 min/km)
54.6 (3:02 min/km)
53.2 (2:57.3 min/km)
54.03 (3:00.1 min/km)
then a 200 flat out
stu clocked me at
32.6
but i actually started half a step behind the other so i timed from the line
31.69 (2:38.45 min/km)
which is faster than my first 2oo of the season and after 4x300s.... it was a ker-nackering of a session!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also known as a BITCH of a session..sucking in air doesnt even begin to describe it-you try doing 5 races in 30 mins!!!!
oh and ewen...not only do i plan to run sub 67-i did 66.2(by electronic timing) in march- i am actually aiming for sub 66 for the 400
..other little grumbles from later on but i spose i better not voice them
got heaps and heaps and heaps done at work today
...good god im a loser....just print me up a big ol' L for my forehead....lol
..miss jo goes to point cook to go shopping for food..yep into the carpark grab the ticket-put in mouth so i dont lose it -find a park-go to pull ticket out of mouth-go to pull ticket out of mout....errrrr what the.... it is completely stuck! uh oh razzamatazz..i had to tear it off causing lip-skin to dutifully come with it....eeeeek...and it BLED!!!! and now it stings with everything i drink!!!!!!!!!!
...shakes head at the ludicrous-ness of it
anyway-i had cracked hte SADS and decided i wasnt water running(already wasnt happy that i had to water run-but back is a teensy bit sore today-not horrible(not great either) but i want to be able to do speed work tomorrow)..then i made dinner and f%cked up the mash potato-how i dont know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe because i errrrrr SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes EWEN loads of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
..then i started thinking damn....stu is gonna get home and ask me about my run-and when i say i havent gone hes gonna go...WHY NOT..damn it ..i love living with my bf but i dont love living with my coach sometimes..lol
....so with a belly full i went water running..... hence the title...a very tight water belt around your very full mid-riff does not go well.... remember barney from the simpsons...at least every 30s i was doing barney burps..im sure my lips were wavering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol..anyway it was hideous, annoying qnd MINDBOGGLINGLY boring, lost my thongs, then managed to get home to say nighty night to the boys...we have stus rugrats for a week and a half
..oh yeah and just as an addendum, went to iron a shirt for tomorrow(ps i NEVER iron either..so before the self congratulation overflows...i picked up a wine-cant iron without one! and spilt it over the ENTIRE shirt....bugger balls...the only redeeming thing was i hadnt ironed the shirt b4 i spilled it on it...that would have been horrific ;)
..miss jo drank waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much last night.. had a fun nite tho- the lad and i went out for a friends birthday at the wesley anne in northcote...heaps of fun but one of my gfs got a bit teary at the end..stu was very good though-just waiting while i took her in her house and had a chat
..i think it was the tequila slammer...oooooh was not feeling fabbo today...shabby springs to mind
..picked the first two horses for the cup-spent $40 over 8 races- and got $100 back
training was tough tough tough..still got this annoying cough-and feeling kinda weak
so the set was 4x200s @44s 4x400s @89s 4x200 @44s- this session is apparently for a 2.42 800 runner which is about where im at
dist time (min/kms-just cos i like to)
200 40 (3:20min/km)
200 43 (3:35min/km)
200 44 (3:40min/km)
200 43 (3:35min/km)
400 90 (3:45min/km)
400 89 (3:43min/km)
400 88 (3:40min/km)
400 89 (3:43min/km)
200 43 (3:35min/km)
200 42 (3:30min/km)
200 40 (3:20min/km)
200 37 (3:05min/km) allowed to stride out in the last 100
so very happy with the set but i found it super super tough-honestly didnt think i was going to be able to do all the 400's 3 and 4 were yuk
then pizza..yum yum tuckered out little jojo
