..bart kisses the teacher

have u ever see that episode where Bart is sooo happy that he passed the test that he kissed the teacher..I just about planted one on stuart- my doc when he said i could start easing back into running..yep im back on the rehab trail..

deege..the toe thing..there are nerves etc that run all the way from the back down the leg to toe etc..the fact that the toe has no strength means the back nerve or whatever is still being compressed making me unable to fully use my toe...
my aunt is particularly concerned about this toe business(and was very worried when i couldnt walk on my heels...she keeps mentioning neurosurgeon) anyway aunt(physio) has ordered me in to her office on monday for a check which somewhat dampened my hitherto unbridled happiness...

apparently i have not one BUT TWO disc bulges(L4/L5 and also L5/S1)..yay..f.ing yay...and they dont actually get much better ..you just kind of manage them..the second one however is not compressing the nerve so its ok

so tomorrow is a 5min jog..and if that goes ok i can do 15min jog on sat.then break day and build up by 5mins each time til get to 35 mins then drop back to 10mins and can go on a harder surface..its a start!

and geelong is a possibility to race not just jog..well all dependent on how everything pulls up of course.. ;)

so pretty good news i reckon.. oh no squash for months...strengthening core big time..going to do clinical pilates

obviously i decided news like thhis needed its OWN post...thats why two today

the stupid thing is I RARELY even eat chocolate..some eating DEMON possessed me and I had no control hmmmmmm???can i blame TOM..is there anything else i can blame apart from me??prob not..i just suck..
i will edit this post later this arvo after the sports doc..I have fingers and toes crossed...yes even the big one that was having some problem working ;)

..settle gretel.

ok so the sports doctor tomorrow..am still trying not to get TOO excited..but well i am excited..so much for me not getting carried away..there is some strength in my big toe now..and i feel freer in the back.. im thinking we may be looking at a rehab plan tomorrow..i know i know ..Stu was completely right when he told me to be patient..but well i just cant help it at the mo(you may not want to read tomorrow's post if its bad news...

went water running with Em today..steady pace..mostly 130-140 HR 35 mins it was supposed to be but we did a tiny bit more.. plus warm up cool down....was great..The time WENT way fast comparative to my solo sessions..I actually enjoyed it today

had a dental appt(whats new HEHE... am booked in to have two wisdom teeth out in 2 weeks..again no way will they let me get a cab home..what if i dont have anyone who can pick me up...my bro in law is picking me up so Im ok..but seriously if he wasnt there..everyone works Mr Dentist and i dont like asking for favours!I mean what do you do then..hire a fake dole bludger?what would someone with no family do?..ok rant over

lets think nice thoughts and picture myself maybe being able to run soon...i am hoping geelong AV meet is on the cards..at least to jog it if i cant race it


oh yeah weigh in 62.4..only lost 0.3 but 1kg over 2 weeks is ok..and i was about to have chicken and chips for lunch..headed up and realised sheepishly i hadnt checked that i had enough cash on me..slunk into the butcher and said um i have $3.50..can you please give me however much low fat mince that is...LOSER..anyway made a lovely hamburger and healthy baked chips..someones looking out for my weight(cos i certainly wasnt after a horror weekend of food..TA

hope everyones day was as good
excited little joey bean :)

..cmon i'm on my knees..

..cmon i'm on my knees.. and praying to the back gods..im generally a nice person(ok so maybe on friday night i made fun of the girl wearing dotty shoes with a check dress..a bit clownish.. but apart from that....its not like she heard me...)
for some reason, my back has been sore all day today..please please be better for the doctor on thursday...pleeeeeease

..maybe its just cos its the T.O.M.. or am i just fooling myself..i just dont know..

anyway cancelled on Em...not taking any chances....

oh and jo..just cos you lost your favourite jacket does not mean you can buy a new jacket every week..how many trenchcoat jackets do you need..LOL..at least i stayed away from jeans.. i worked out i have two blue size 10(almost fit again..well they fit but u dont wanna sit down),2blue size 12.. 1black size 12..1 maroon size 12, 2 blue size 14,1 black 14.. and dont even get me started on my cords!
have weigh in tomorrow..hopefully the numbers are good..
will consider a light swim later...all back dependent..

..trying to keep a lid on it

doctors appointment on thursday..big toe is starting to get some functionality back..but trying not to get carried away...dont wanna go THUD if the doc still says i have to have the injection..and the 2 weeks of no running AGAIN..still cant stand on my right heel and hold the toes up off the ground

went w.running with Em...WOW that was a tough session 5 min warm up 6x90sec hard with 30 sec rest between then 2 min breather then 6x90sec hard with 30 sec rest between then 5 min cool down... so glad Em was there..would have seriously struggled with that one by myself

2 fillings today..upper and bottom..I looked like a stroke victim...and then there was the drool..LOL...sooooo attractive..quite interesting having a coke zero..half felt cold half felt warm...weird..thats one of the 3 dental appointments for the week!!

..ummm..jo its not your car

hehe.. standing at the pool furously trying to get my car to unlock..muttering stupid beeper..finally sinks in..oops its not your car!well it looked the same!
..reminds me of one time years ago..opened the door with key jumped into car..mm nice cumfortable orange cushion..looked at the radio and thought hmm.im unobservant didnt realise my radio had that thingy..then kinda went ..hang on i dont remember having an orange cushion...uh oh..i was in someone elses car..hehe..slunk to my car two spots up..ummm embarrassment!!!
..woke up in my clothes from last night(always a good sign i drank too much!)check that i didnt send any embarassing texts..nup im good..phew..
went to the pool
did the ladder session..after the glute pain yesterday thought 4x5mins hard might be too much so 1hard 1easy 2hard 1easy 3hard 1 easy 4 hard 1 easy 3hard 1easy 2hard 1 easy 1hard with 5 min warm up and 5 minute cool down..stupid fat man in my lane hit me on the head and the lady kicked me...i very politely(not being sarcastic here either) said if im in your way there are lap lanes.. i didnt mind the cute pool attendant coming up to talk to me about deep water running though

and i decided after swimming that my craving for crisps was too strong..im having them as a substitute for my breakfast!nutritional value=0 enjoyment value= huge

..not a good sign..

..ok so maybe im paranoid..but im pretty sure hte pain in the glute is NOT a good sign(it was the precursor last time to a whole lotta pain..
so not even water work today :( see how i am tomorrow

went to sandown today(very unhappy initially cos this was the race i wanted..i was expecting a sub 45 here :( :( ) anyway before too long i had a job and was busy chatting away to everyone so it helped me get out of my funk... a couple of juniors and i were the official 'BURGERS' cheer squad (and i recorded all our teams times too

saw tiger boy come in..looked for Em ..couldnt find her so i was well occupied

out for dinner tonight....so have to try to be good..

..and ive decide what annoys me about the boy saying he just 'wants to go with the flow' if someone doesnt want to see you on the weekend..then i would consider that indifference or ambivalence..yes i think we definitely need to have a chat
..perhaps not while im in the mood im in at the moment LOL
