...no racing AGAIN

..well i can barely call myself a racer can i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 i never bloody race...lol- at least ill be racing at the milers meet on tues(doing the 800m)
went to lunch then was going to do a track session-even stu said it was ok to call it off today(and trust me-he was in a foul mood today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
so nada- no running but a fair bit of shopping..and with three boys in tow-that is no small feat
..anyway the lad just did cook me an absolute ripper dinner. garlic prawns on a bed of lettuce and delicous salad..... mmm mmmm
only a 45 min run tomorrow... feeling a bit fat- i think it is time with the onset of holidays to pay attention to my diet-vegies and fruit in particular- i did have some of each today

..work breakup and unmm maybe some drinks

ok...lol...so i must fess up too many people saw me ;last night for me to petend i hadnt been drinking- at least i didnt POST here though :)

70 freaking mins to get to work yesterday made running befor ework pretty tough. at least it was a short session, 4x200s at around 37s(it was grass and not marked out so i had to guess.i ran pretty fast though and my legs felt way tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

,,and then super quick shower just to be in time for chapel- yes my school is a presby school-an hour of it..at leats i like singing the carols :)

then a few odd jobs then drinks and lunch provided, then out to 'canvas' where i dutifully avoided the tab and bought about 4 wines at about $8 a pop(depending on who served me- it always makes me luagh-different prices from different wait staff!!!! )

then off to zatopek-where miss jojo was decidedly errr happy- hopefully not slurring too much ..hehe

saw my bf-(i think he just rolled his eyes at me...lol)..where i was freezing----i had told him to rbing a jacket for me and leave it in the car-y oh y did he listen to that part..anyw atiger boy-god bless him- lent me his jacket...oh we were at zatopek..had a quick chat/hug with Em and corrie

..then spent a bzillion hours driving home-trafic was monstrous-fell asleep in the car-woke up with the dry mouths this morning lol- had to bunk a lift with stu and then PT to get my(car yes i am miss responsible)

then a few odds at school but decide id go in moday to finish up teh stuff i didnt get to do while i was on camp...just couldnt be botherred..then um hte shopping started in earnest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45 in sthis morning
..read camp blog:
Friday dec 5th -sat 6th inclusive

Okerly dokerly –so big big nig day..had the student form-from 8:30 to 12:30 with only half hour break-no work or anything just had to organise activities-harder than it sounds
Then straight off to camp
Camp is at cowes which is quite lovely. Im the only chicky babe here at the moment, but someones wife is coming down and so is principal and his wife for the day.currently sitting at the porch-someone has to wait here-my shift will be on the beach next..
Anyway tried to run this morning and had all sorts of problems. I was having chest pains the entire time-kept having to stop-it was very weird and disconcerting.anyway somehow struggled through 40 unpleasant mins-still hurts a bit-mostly when I breathe though …lol could just be a muscular ‘been writing reports in a bad possie kinda thing) I suppose-will see how I go tomorrow.anyway as a result I did not do any speed-so slow in fact-mostly slower than 6min/kms…was not pretty
…ill reserve judgement till tomorrows run.
A 40min shit run I suppose is better than no run

I rnag stu last night.OMG-how drunk was he-he was kinda funny though- ive only seen him really drunk once(and yes he had gone out with that guy) and he sounded in a very similar state. I rang him this morning to wake him up in case he forgot to set alarm-but he is of course uber organised so I needn’t have bothered
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tired. It 9:52 am and I could seriously go back to bed.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

SUN:
Long run of 60 mins this morn..went to bed super early last night 10:30. am eating way too much L need to try to remedy that. The run was slow-a lot of it had hills but also a lot of it was on very very heavy and thick grass which feels like you are running in very soft sand.
And then I went and put myself into the freezing cold water but only lasted a couple of mins..it was super duper cold…..
And then back out for beach duty… would love to go home-but as camps go its pretty good-as stu said people pay for what im doing..and I get paid an extra allowance on top of my salary for being here.
Next year is going to be so busy
Year 8 head of maths
Head of junior aths(this will be a huge amount of time)
2 year twelves
FORM teacher
Plus normal teaching duties of course,plus trying to fit in running training and occasionally trying to say hello to my bf
-will be expected to go on either 2 or 3 camps(one is during the holidays)
And just found out also im now a MENTOR-just great…I have to come back to school a day early next year-there is no time allocation for it, you don’t get paid, have to have a meeting every week, help her with her FOLIO she has to submit(and no I didn’t get a choice- when I made a semi joke to the dean of staff last night(it went doen loke a lead balloon) WHO else is going to do it(I am he only female in the senior maths dept-and she is first year out)-yep-next yer is going to be a hoot!NOT!!!!!!!

Anyway back to today…went out on the zodiac(inflatable boat with motor) sooooooo much fun
..miss having someone to cuddle and give me a goodnight kiss L and very tired again
MON
Very tired when I got up today but got up NONETHELESS..
This is the first camp ever I have managed it

6kms@5:14 pace –so much harder than expected,but then really the first 2 ks were 5:25-5:30 and hten next 4 were 5,11,4:58,,5:08,5:11

.....oooh long long did i mention LONG day

ok.be prepare dfor a small RANT,...i am (barring my spell checking//lol-too lazy)- a reasonably smart chicky babe...if there is ONE THING i CANNA take its being treated like a complete f-ing moron... so im in this pD day...(and cranky and tired i should say in advance)..asked the lecturer a question just about whether something on CALC should be END or BEGIN(really just confirming) random guy that i didnt ask answers..yadaa yada.....'ok thanks'' then goes on a spiel about banks ripping you off... yes got it..(i already knew-was trying to conform with the other guy a VCE examinare...yada yada yada... you understand...yes(being very tolereant at the moment.. he continues...are you sure you understand..."YES..I DO UNDERSTAND THE MATHEMATICS BEHIND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" resistsed yelling,resisted telling him to be stop such a condescending little shit, resisted telling him about a million things............................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... anyWAY

and then ..let me regroup lest i YELL again.... I WENT to the worst PD in the history of the PD...errr EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. it was so bad i actually walked out early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and im such a "johnny be goodie two shoes"..thats AMAZING
then training
planned : 2x200s fast(35s) 2x15s same pace(25s) 2x120(21s) 2x100(17ish) 2x70 with a rolling start,2x50 rolling start
..yep i definitely needed a set like this..all very fast....one of the girls pushed me and i worked to overtake her nearly every set
...so
200s 33-too fast 35 good
150s 23.x ,24.x
120s 19.x 18.x fast fast
100s 15.6(same as comp 2 weeks ago...lol) 15.1 faster than i raced two weeks ago-yay
70s with a rolling start 10.1, same again
rolling 50s then stopped timing
..sore back AND have been very upset/DISCONCERTED by some leg pain which feels like the referred pain i had last year..but i may just be panciking
packing for a week away... will miss my super lovely bf..wll sometimes lobvely bf..pmsl

..ughghghghghg

..have just put my reporst down for the night- will do some before school tomorrow :(
i was working out-just the form teacher reports(not my subject reports) ended up being over 10,000 words in total(more than 350-450 words per student)-no wonder they are taking so damn long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
think about how long you took last time you worte a 10,000 word essay
...anyway as Stu so BLUNTLY told me-i can hardly complain given all my holidays...but i have literally been working my ass of the last week..still stressed.....am RIDICULOUSLY tired... :(
..busy busy all day reading reports and correcting and writing since 7:30,teaching classes, parent meeting straight after school, followed by pilates(which was a shit session cos i felt like rubbish- and it was very bizarre..when i walked in, i noticed how sore something on my foot is) anyway after pilates i made the decision to NOT run..stu had me down to run 45-50mins but it just couldnt happen...but i wish he would take into account my overwhelming tiredness during report time..i think next year he may have to be a teensy bit more accommodating..
..anyway since i hate to miss a session. i somehow persuaded myself as i drove past the Tan to get out and go for a run. first 10 mins -terrible -foot super sore but at about 11 mins started to go away...rest of the run seriously AVERAGE..stopped at 30mins..it just wasnt feeling good-even my right glute was sore- i seem to be very NIGGLY at the moment
..anyway after pilates, 30mins seems to be well enough...so THATS ALL I COULD MANAGE
..sorry for all the whinging,...im going to finish my vodka,,,try to unwind a bit and then go to bed

..just a quickie

yeponly quick- cos my eyes hurt-been looking at a computer so long my eyes are streaming water...and im not crying(although i did cry earlier-when i opened a card from my nieces..whatta baby i am)
..anyway super tired...just stopped doing reports-have been going full on since 7:30 this morn..and feeling so stressed and tired...i am at that stage where im so tiredi feel like im about to cry :(
anyway im supposed to have checked and corrected all my student reports(between 10-14 reports per student, 27 reports) but one person still hasnt done 2 reports for every person so i have NO IDEA how im supposed to finish within the time line. Then i have to finish my tutor reports.80% done, only have to make the academic comments and spell check etc(which takes longer than one might think)
anyway seeing double so ive had enough for the day...super grumpy
..and i got to the track feeling all of these at once...faint(very),grumpy(very), on the verge of tears(big time) no motivation(big time) and i nearly packed up my gear and just left when a i was doing my stride throughs i was having a pain in my leg..a not very nice one either
anyway the set was 4x200@44s, 2x400@88-89 1x600@2:12 2x400@88s 4x200@44s

yep its a tough little set...a bit of wind too but not too bad until the 600..even stu added on some time abd said i could do 2:15

200s 41.x 42.x 42.x 42.x
400 87.x 88.x
600 2:15
400 87.x 86.x
200 42.x 43.x 42.x 39.x we chased down someone

amazed i got through it-as i really felt terrible..didnt feel much better at the end..then when i got home, i saw the card from my nieces and had a big cry in the shower

life sucks at the moment..but its only for 2 days and then i can stop being the huge bee-ach i am at the moment..i dont deal particularly well with stress..
..although at the track-i tried particularly hard not to snap at anyone-so i just didnt talk much
:( x 10

ughghghg more reports

-i cant look any longer at reports...
(well i probably will go back to it...ughghghghg)
an intersting offer cam my way today: a teacher exchange to singapore for a month feb-march-not sure tho that next year is the right year(it happens every year) as i have 2 years and would feel a it weird teaching them for 2 weeks then p-ing off for 4 weeks.... and also i have just accepted the role of head of Junior Atheletics, and have also put my hand up to be head of year 8 maths(not sure if i will get that one yet) so its going to be busy busy busy..so maybe i will wait one year??? dont know-the head of maths basically said if i say yes i can go..i dont love travelling really.... im bit of a home person as i dont sleep very well away fromm home(im about to go away to camp for 5 days so probs not much sleep)
aaaagh i hate decisions..i am possibly the worst person IN THE WORLD at making decisions :( i overthink things way too much

so 40 min run today, woulda been 7ish kms again...pretty tired..and then made a magnificant meatlovers pita bread pizza..it was so FREAKING good too
