..i loved tonights set

yep i actually said that
200m reps are my all time fave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the plan 3-4 sets of 3x200@ 37s pace- a bit faster than 800 pace with walk back recov(approx 2min) with 3 min recov between sets

the whole first set was in the 37s
second set 1x37s+ 2x36
third-all 36s
fourth-everyone else dropped out except stu and myself- i kinda got yelled at-not directly but stu was heard to retort to someone who said -cant beat your gf eh, "well shes not running the pace shes supposed to) yep i was very naughty and ran 35.5 on the tenth rep which is NOT what the set is about(and i know that-stu can run heaps faster but we are trying to learn pacing for the first 200m of hte 800). i put my head down and let stu pace the next two cos he is spot on and im shite!
the next two were done in 37s which is what it was supposed to be


yes -i did not complain(i LOVE this set, suits me to a tee) felt good felt strong, felt controlled.... aim for sat sub 2.40-have NEVER EVER done that at shield comp before

performance review at work tomoz..yep def need a few more wines..lol

last night i didnt run but did an elongated pilates at home which i then tacked on to: walking lunges up and down hte hall(omg didnt my legs feel it today!) squats, one legged squats, military press, 2x15 pushups and a few other things too...good gal jo... oh and ive lost a full 1kg in the last week. down to 61.5 which usually i feel like im nearly skinny at, but alas alak, i still feel way too chunky! i think im startin g to feel a bit more serious about losing weight so i can run faster. its less than a second i need in the 800m, and whilst i can never take the 1st girl, the 2nd girl may(and only loosely may-she ran 2.29) may be in reach, if i eat well and train well-sorry im talking about the vic masters champs which is in march. oh and my all time pb(when i was 12) for the 1500 is 5:28 so i wouldnt mind giving that a crack in the next two years either-although i dont see that as very likely!

errr. go get the dictionary little miss

okey dokey.. so miss j put herself on a budget yesterday..YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway apparently i do not understand the meaning of it.. i accidentally ummmm errrr accidentally bought a big freaking TV... lol its 42 inch,5 year warranty, full HD and its way cool, and i didnt mean to go into teh shop but it was the biggest bargain EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i did even ring stu to see if he coul curb my enthusiasm, but he kinda told me that it sounded like a great idea.so ummmmm yeah i spent $1300 hehe
anyway yesterday set was in the hea heat heat
plan was 6x400at just faster than 1500 pace approx 90s for me-but i was kinda running with stu and B(10 year old) and the reps were
91,87,87,87,87,87 and in that last i thought i mustve slowed so tried to tack on with stu 85s

at least it was a standing recovery. i nearly spewd after the 5th rep-bit too fast for me really

then friends over for dinner...was lovely(theyre great fun) but at 11.45 i piked and went to bed! i had to get up at 6am! and besides by that time id already spilt all my wine over everyone...yep actually did... lol

..hot hot hot

okay so today was damned hot!
i wasnt planning on running outdoors, i had planned to do a water run, but when i got htere and asked if there were lap lanes, they said yes. when i went a nd asked the life guard, he said yes for the next ten minutes only so i was kinda p'd off so i went back to the desk and made them refund my money!
oh speaking of refunds, did i mention the other day i went to a servo which seemed to be having issues,only put in $28 and hten had to drive to hte next servo as the first one had give me ZERO petrol-still trying to get them to reimburse me. I have proof. The supposed amount of petrol i bought plus hte next lot is OVER the capacity of my car-and it also happened to 3 other people
sigh- yes these things ALWAYS Happen to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so no wate run meant i had to run outside. OMFG it was hot-still well over 30 deg when i went, tried to skulk around in the shade but there really wasnt that much shade... so 30mins in the heat and i didnt melt like the wicked witch from the west which was a PLUS for me...lol
the year 12 methods paper was a little tricky for hte poor lads today!
oh and i wrote the year 8 common test for torrow and there is an evacuation, yep you guessed it RIGHT in the middle of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol..so today was spent racing around converting it into two papers of shorter duration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, of freaking course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG no sunday run!

i honestly cant remember(barrng sickness) that i havent done a sunday long run(or run of sorts)

went to marks 50th-fell asleep in teh car on the way home and didnt set the alarmand um didnt make the yys at 8am. Was going to go for a water run but wholst waiting for stu to take all 3 boys to little As relay, kalena came over to me and i was like, gee never realised his arms were so fat, looked at teh other one,,,crap, its just well swollen so ive marched him over to stu(and its hot) and stu's said well he needs to bewatched and we decided he had to be taken to the dr..poor little tyke-fortunately it wasnt hurting him at all... so i took K(and tried not to freak out about his giant arm!)
waited for 50mins then got into the dr, he said it was a bite...derr fred!!!!! lol nd gave a prescription cos otherwise it might become cellulitis which would be a real problem...lol... this funny because i am the CELLULITIS queen!!!!!!! as if i dont know what that means!!!!!!!!!!! recall cellulitis on the leg, finger and arm and certain dr's freaking out.really hoping he doesnt get it
so no chance to run in the morning-but dont think i was overly motivated anyway really. cos i coulda gone in hte afternoon and just didnt!
bit of a shock tho-no sunday run...fancy that having said that, prior to stu, i never DID sunday runs and its been a tough running week
and my bf is cooking me chicken skewers and a big big salad yay! i love salad,i could eat it every single day for the rest of my life(as long as could have meat or something with it-cos it DOESNT fill me up at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think ill keep him...lol

..okerly dokerly
my choice was to go outside and run in the heat of hte day(about 11am) or to do water running. Given my heel is SUPER niggly at the moment, and hte back of my knee is also very sore, i decided a water run woudl be better. and it wasnt crowded surprisingly and it was actually veryenjoyable. And yes, that was me uttering those words, no gremlins have overtaken my computer!
40mins
and we are now of to OP to see one of stu's athletes run the 400m final and then off to Michelle and Marks :)

whew, i will be happy campers when my year 12 exams(for the boys) finish on mo nday..i had ummm 7 boys come and see me throughout the day-pretty busy really!

anyway la night did a light 30min run(5-5.5km) slow, the first 20mins average but then the last 10 felt good...legs tired from day before, kinda sore behind the knee

then off to karen for dry needling,...miss j was SCARED, but karen said she was happy and yes i could do hill repeats and whilst my back is very tight for a normal person, for me it was quite good,..
so dry needling once a fortnight on a semi permanent basis

then a track set tonight,,, sounds easy doesnt it (i thought it did!!!)
300,200,200 with 100m walk recovery of 3 sets at 800m pace,,,, yeah not really that easy(and it was slightly faster than 800pace)
the reps are as below
59,38,37, 57,37,38 57,38,34high
tuckered out little gal, then off to dinner where the service was a joke...the pooor bar tenders got yelled at by customers and other waiting staff, felt bad for them...mind you stu's dinner was forgotten, they mized up our bill, and we had to wait quite some time for things to be rectified, but we did at least manage to be pleasant!!!!

anyway RUSH is on, a bit blah today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all a-flutter

not really.... have just put on best and somehow missed my wins and places...oh well lots of mystery bets!

sundays run was ..like WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my legs hated me after hte day before. Even stu said that his legs werent happy so he only made us run for 48mins! worst run in a whle but it was always going to be that way(i had been drinking from 1pm til about midnight hte day before..actually all was good except for hte legs

rest day yesterday...woohoo and i was wanting to run but stu said no! OMG are we in topsy turvy world or what

and then today: kjiller set
hills reps 6x60s with small walk down then jog recovery(and YOU all know how much i love an active recovery NOT) gee it hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, i reckon my next 1500 will be significantly faster than my last since i have been doing endurance/strength work now for oh um 2weeks...lol
anyway maybe ill have a trifecta come through(mystery bet) and then feel rich for about 2 days....lol
