yay holidays

love being on holidays!
anyway, slept in good and late-still havent quite got rid of the stupid cold
sunday went for a 50min run.legs were definitelty reminding me that i had raced and JUMPED the day before.and went up a hilll, brathing was not good
.and today im going to the milers meet in boxhill.the plan is to go out pretty hard..might as well go for it.i ran sub 2.40 sat so even if i run crap, i have done something i wanted to do on saturday :)
going to do some hwk today(yes its not all fun and games) im in charge of yr 12 Further maths at my school next year so i need to start writing the timeline and a few other things
anyway ill pots iether tonight or tomorrow morn!hopefully with a good time for teh 800!

shield round up

..yes sorry folks a double post today
...was not sure what to expect today..had decided since im still sick that anything under 2.44 would probs be acceptable.
anyway, slight breeze, not too bad though(did high jump.. first lol...well 2 jumps- no fosby)
so started of in the heat with some girls who were running 2.25 down to myself and a couple at 2.40+ .... dont ask, i wasnt happy.if they call 2.45, i will run to the integrity of the heat...so annoying though.i actually turned around to girls not in my club and said you should be here you run 2.30s. It happens every single week and is VERY annoying.you come to race so get the f%ck out there and race.stop hiding in the slower heats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway first 200in 37(yes i checked my watch) and then one of my team mates overtook me so i thought ill just go with her, went through 78s and thought ill just push a little, over took the girl in the back straight(she did only get home at 7am) lol, got to 600 and saw 1,59 on the watch and thought okay time to push, went through in 2.39.54. Thats more like it. Its hte first time ive gone under 2.40 at shield comp. i know its weird, 6 weeks ago i did 2.34 in a big comp and can barely go sub 2.40
then off to shotput where i did a 30cm PB and got 6.80
then off to the 200 where i kinda did some strides but not a proper warm up
shit start as ever(pop straight up, grimace at the pain in my back) and a couple of gals in my race so really didnt want to be beaten by them, worked hard into the headwind(not huge) and crossed in 31.15 a seasons best and could be a pb(i have a 30.8 recorded a few years ago, but i think it was a mistake)
decided yes no yes no yes no and eventually no to a 5km(cos i really am still a bit sick) and did a 15min cool down. pretty tuckkered out..and yes i did make the call when i got there i was only going to do a couple of events... unmmmmm 5 is the new couple isnt it???????????
60min run tomorrow, doing slow slow, have a girl from ausrun joining me so introducing her to a hill :)

ooh racing today..

supposed to race today, still have a stupid cold.... was EXTREMELY sick on wednesday, drove to school, had to have a nap in sick bay went home and then slept for the rest of the day.
musta been teh training set that i did on tuesday night(and i wasnt feeling great so probs shouldnt have really done it...completely fell in aheap afterwards)
the tues set was 4x600s and 1 400 in 95s for the 400/faster for the last wto

was not pretty wed and thursday but am starting to feel better

have no IDEA what to expect in the 800 today. am trying not to talk myself out of it.... but oct/nov have been very low km months :(

anyway i will try, probs cough up a lung afterwards,.,.. and try not to be too snotty(and i can tell you that i am well snotty!

2 days is NOT a long time :)

2 more days at school , hten miss jo is on HOLY-days..... lol(cmon i do work at a Presby- school) let me pretend im being religious!)
anyway took half day off work today as my head was ABSOLUTELY banging this mornin(the cold has taken hold again, im a coughy spluttering SNOTball at the moment), drove to work, a real dennis the menace, thought i might fall asleep at the wheel
my mentoree(or my mentee as we often call her) had the panel interview for full refistration so i HAD to go...yay-she is now fully quall-ed!
got to the track, not even sure if i would finish hte set.took some ventolin(as i oft do when i have a cold) as my breathing is abit crappy(it is in my chest a bit)
goal 600 reps with 400 @ bw 1500 and 3km pace(95ish sec)/40ish second

let the kids pace hte first one, 400 in 99 and the 200 in 45 sec..(2:24)too slow so i went to the front (but on the inside for the next few reps)
94/44 2:18
93/45 2:18
94:/44 2:18
the last one was 300/100
70/18 1:28 for the 400
gee i was breathing heavy, i trained way better than i thought i would so quite pleased. will be more pleased to get rid of the cold

dry needling yesterday was manageable,only a couple of yukkies, and i mentioned my glute so she chucked some in there, a little more than a tickle but settled very quickly and felt very good today
stu and i had our 'date night' at the indian ...was nice... and if i could just rid of this sh%tty headache then i would be ahappy happy camper
ciao bellas and bellettes :)

..shy little thing

..lol...
..yep i was wondering what the acute pain in one spot in my back was(not un-normal......) but it turned out to be a great big ruise...tooo shy to come out immediately...but out nonetheless today..i wonder if it is still there tomoz if karen will shove a needle into my bruise...wouldnt that be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had a mixed day today...over-reacting about something that i should tbut it is bothering me................................... :(
sore teeth kept me awake a
mos tof fri night but ran sat ..i did 2km warm up then 2km bends and straights(straights faster(1500pace)) and then another 2 so 7km all up...surprisingly then bed and straights section ended up abput 4.50min /km...i was shocked by this...i would find it hard work to do 2km at 4.50 in training(hard work might be over stating it i sp0se)
and then out for drinks with david and nic, waied an hour and half for cab, got shitty so walked to cra, had an argument, cos stu is THE slowest walker in the world, cos when im cold i kinda wanna MOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! far out brussel sprout....
then 10.4km run today
then caight up with gfs from high school

quite funny-all had done quite well...going to a GOOD school does make a big difference.....and we didnt pay to go-there are some very good gov schools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway nighty night! hoping to NOT have injection in the back of the knee tomoz

..back at the track

well i got back on the track but eased into it.
bends and straights
did 1.6km warm up..couple of hammy stretches the
2kms bends and straights funny that this still ends up faster than 5min/km pace even with the jogging between bends.. couple mins alking to someone then another 2km od bends and straights.... was starting to fatigue towards the end. the back of the knee held up reasonably well...have iced it.quite sore to touch still
i had planned to go and race with corrie and Em, but i may have to pass....bugger bugger

getting close to finshing the reports.but have hit the wall. have to stop,,,, am grumpy and stu is shitting me

..not so small a niggle

..the tendon behind the knee has been more and more sore this week
been icing..didnt even run last night..instead officiated for an hour and half and then home for reports :(
anyway.. stu has gone tonight...what did you do training wise.... umm errr ummm did you not see me not run last night.... nothing
im not even sure about swimming
..will do some form of training tomorrow-probs bends and straights
..sh$t day at work, not happy about the inequity of hte system..but not just whinging-have actually made plans to talk to those who can do something about it

.eyes hurting

OMG....lol... how is this... put my sunscreen on a 6.50 am(yes every day...lol) but somehow got it in both eyes... do you know how much it hurts... i could barely open my eyes the whole drive there..... i was a complete dennis the menace...almost had to pull over ...the eyes just wanted to shut for a bit. In the end i pulled over in richmond for 7mins and shut my eyes(not sleeping-just letting them recuperate)...i had been trying to douse them with water but it was a bit hard on the west gate....
when you think LOSER, just think of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway i asked stu if i was grumpy-youre the same as always

well theres two ways a woman can take this:
1) im really good at not taking my SUPREME frustrations out on my bf
2)he thinks im grumpy all the time

ill go with number one....lol... GO ME ;) doesnt that make me little miss perfect(stu wont agree because ive been REALLY REALLY funny tonight..which in his world means ive been annoying the crapola outa him... but seriously anyone who can fit the gag..... cos 7 ate 9 into a proper conversation...that takes real skill
(stu was saying about his soccer finals.... six played seven..... werent they scared?........ what?????...cos 7 8(ate) 9 LOL (the ensuing joke).... see i fitted into a REAL conversation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes still unimpressed and i think its HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
