..errrr cranky is the start of it

..well i was the grumpiest gal in the land today.. woke up grumpy-and then stu said something(which he didnt mean to come out that way- i have no filter today) so it upset me a lot(im also a bit more sensitive than usual at the moment)

anyway considering my mindset..and how everybody even NEAR me should be walking on egg shells- i was pretty pleased that the weight was 63.0 as im probs retaining some water 2! very upset/and annoying stomach today-which i dont usually get

..massage at 11 after a 55 min walk..quite funny-it was sooooo windy........ i watched a bird try 5 times(a small one) to go forward into it and he ended up 30m behind where he started..he was a persistent little brat
-then in for my massage..and narelle said i was like a NORMAL person today..woohoo..it barely hurt today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a bit here and there..but not the whole time!!! how cool
..apparently my right ITB band is soooo tight that it has been pulling my alignment out
...today it was tight but it wasnt so bad it ouldnt be touched....lol
..then home to wrap pressies via shopping but i tried to keep wallet shut
..stu cooked me a gorgeous dinner-zuchinni pasta..delicious..nice glass of red-ajh in particualr will appreciate..
..back..well let me ostrich- it s kinda crap at the mo-did some pilates tonight though
..ive decided.............. im more quiet than i used to be
..sigh..maybe im growing up :(
..oh and to answer a qn EE asked me the other day-im not going to singapore..the teaching would be quite err uninspiring.....and it will be available another year and next year...what with- 2 year 12s , head of junior aths, head of year 8 maths, form teacher, and normal teaching load-that is well and truly enough of me being out there!!!!

...errr someone please staple my wallet SHUT..lol

..wow
miss jo went shopping again today....dont fall off your chair...;lol

so the day started at the you-ies..it was so awesome..we had like a girls possie, a boys possie and stu and his junior athletes possie...WOW how cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then stu and i had subway-yum and then went shopping. we got stopped by this israeli dude who showed me a nail thing(i was thinking yeah yeah) but OMG you shouldve seen how shiny my nails were(ps only my nails were done///lol)..anyway 100 dollars later........(3 packs though)and then he showed us the piece de resistance..this salt exfoliator and moisturiser and OMG both stu and i are like....our hands HAVE never been softer...120 more dollars later.......................... LOL
..then we went to look at outdoor setting...saw a really cool one..wrought iron around the outside with tiles on the inside...too cool...had a snack while we discussed-the i bought it(of course) well it did save me 45 so i dont have to buy a trestle table to fit everyone for christmas and the home delivery is free..but i did spend over 1500 dollars....bit broke now-need to be more careful with the cashola-when it is delivered on tues i will take a piccy
-then we came home(after ordering a turkey) and then napped and watched foodie stuff on foxtel and then stu made our wheelie things be full of herbs..yay

ooh lotsa shopping

okey dokey
so i am a dutiful little gf- last night picked up a very drunk stu-where we progressed to the lovely Ems house.felt a bit bad cos i very abruptly went 'right stu' im ready to go-i have done this since i was born and my best gf always tells me off about..i was very tired though -knew i had a 50min drive and since i had fallen asleep actually driving last week-just knew it was time to go-he was asleep before we hit the westgate..lol...
//anyway tpoday i left an hour earlier than i would have so i could drive 'said lad' to his car at the tan. I then went on a 40 min run...i was trying to decide WHERE i was most sore from my massage yesterday-ummm pretty much everywhere but kinda teh inner??hip flexor and the left shin/calf-where narelle said didnt feel normal -maybe still crap there from the injury
..anyway pretty sore..but a good run none-the-less..
then Pilates(back was a it sore after the run :( and hurt a bit today :( :(
..then stu came home-had a beer..(at midday)
was quite funny..ive gone
'stu: y arent you running-you wouldnt let me not run'
..s: im having a beer
..who's your coach?burkie?
...no!(he does coach himself now)
..well im going to call him(he thought i meant burkie)
..so i went into the bedroom and called...STU!youre athlete is refusing to run and is drinking beer(ie i called stu)...lol and then hung up---gee i crack myself up
then shopping.......
first a piccie from suite deals---it is cool too
..then lotsa xmassy tabley stuff
..then bunnings where we bought some big blue(cute) pots and plants(red ferny things-ooohhhhh thats right cornelius(no quite) FALCONS
looks great
then nearly bought a $1000 setting from bunnings but they refused to give us a discount so i said NO i will thinkj about it-i made stu go and try to haggle..LOL and then he called me over and i was trying so hard not to laugh-i suck at that stuff
..hope everyone is having a good day :)
..much better mood today than the last two :)

..a race of sorts

...lol..it probably comes as no surprise that i can be at times a grumpy la-la...hehe
..anyway todays grumpy la la ness(and i might add i am about to have TOM as a guest so be patient) was because stu was picking someone up which meant i might not get picked up(and i wasnt grumpy that he was picking anyone up) but that i may not get time to warm up.... but then i started to ..as stu would say"get over myself' and realise tonight was about fun and NOT really a race' and then i calmed down and all was good with the world!!!!
anyway: morning
went to a gallery exhibition small one(free) that a friend is having (101 poath road-hughesdale) very good-open after 11).they had dresses, photography, pictures, candlestick holders, pots all sorts of things
met six people from work-then had lunch with them, then shopping for lollies,then made 40 little lolly baskets-32 for stu's athletes, 8 for family for xmas day, wrapped two gifts for two of stu's helpers, then off to the track for the 1km Western Aths gift-handicap based on your 800
-had no idea what i was aiming for but decided to be waaaaaaay conservative after the last time-ran 43 for first 200-oops bit too slow
but very consistent for the rest 3:44(not my pb-i once did in training 3:43) but then i raced tuesday, hard session sunday,45 min pool run wed-not ideal build up..anyway stu thinks i shouldve run 3:40-im happy with 3:44..and yes maybe im making excuses but so be it...
..then drinks-super organised-cut up lime, took vodka,took ice cubes and soda..yum yum-stu got great pressies-yay he does deserve it too..and i gave him his coach pres yesterday(all the other athletes are giving at the mo- a melbourne victory tshirt :) he wore it today so he must like it

oh and cut my finger today god knows on what-yesterday i banged my head so hard on a corner i had to kneel and lay down for a while-note to self-must try to be careful./..lol..as IF

..perspective

http://jojo-runjanerun.blogspot.com/2007/12/clarification.html
this did make me laugh-well not wholly but it did remind.. and still sometimes...im like WOW..i cant believe how much things have changed(re stu)
..and i am way glad i did...a very very lucky gal :)

anyway-running perspective-the reason i was back reading(does anyone ever do this?)was to see what my best 800was at this time..yes cough cough..geek gal
2:44 seems to be the fastest same time last year so I MUST KEEP PERSPECTIVE.i am doing ok-but then i did also have an achilles problem at this time..so that must also go into perspective nd YES STUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTTTTTTTT we both know i over -analyse(note analyse not analyze like my stupid report spellcheck...grrrrrrrrr)
tomorrow- am going to a gallery of a friend.._YAY-feel free to call(or email me before 9) me if you wanna come meet-poath road at 11:30!!
then the western aths 'GIFT" a 1km handicap-as long as my BF manages to pick me up in time to warm up-followed by a coupla drinky poos..woohoo..but we do not find out our handicap

anyway im gonna go watch crap TV-since im on hols i dont have to go to bed before midnight if i dont WANNA-and i dont wanna---er yes i may be being a BRAT

:(

.well i didnt hit the time i wanted.
went way too fast the first 200m 35s then had nothing in the last 100..literally.. 2.42 which this time last year i wouldve been rapt with,
but no sub 2:40 for me tonight :(

tweaked the ankle twice today too! did it once during stride throughs yesterday-once during stride throughs today and once during the race(am icing now) it did not affect my run in the slightest though..but i may strap it for a few days i think

pretty disappointed really but then i guess its only 1s slower than my best for this season(so far)
:(
some great runs by others
anyway im tired and not happy with runner girl jojo...but then i tried my hardest and was and am completely spent..very tired
..saw the best outdoor setting today-very different..errr $3500-it was divine

..healthy eating plan PZ

we thats it.a healthy eating plan it is
todays start weight 64kgs- im usually happy when im around 62.5kgs so that is the goal over the next two weeks(when i stick to a plan , i actually drop weight pretty easy)-and besides i think im actually closer to 63.5-there hadnt been any errrr movements
then the secondary plan will be to get to 61.5- relatively slim at this weight-although it makes my boobs look even bigger(as if thats possible!!!!!!!!!! but it is) cos my stomach gets skinnier and nothing else does... i do know where each kg of weight comes off from..

so the healthy eating plan is this
brekky-
either a bowl of cerael with fruit and a juice
-can be alternated with poached eggs on plain toast
-snacks-can be rice crackers-muesli bar-fruit-

lunch-sandwich or roll

dinner-whatever stu cooks...lol

plans for eating out-
NO CHIPS
sushi is good
must choose pasta over pizza
NO FISH and CHIPS
other NO's crisps(threw away cheezels yesterday)
subway is an obvious choice

back is quite tender today.i would say thats from my run yesterday
45 mins at the you yangs-but had i known i was doing a big hill and then coming down a very very steep hill(particularly bad for back), i would have taped my back..it was also a lot faster than my planned run as i was running with people

milers meet tomorrow-aiming for sub 2:40 with a 2:1.6 a few weeks ago, it snot out of the realms of possibility.stu is getting me to run it a bit differently i think.a bit faster in the first lap

getting a little bit of a cold-hopefully it will just stay as it is
my poor little stu is having horrible ear pains-it must be bad cos he is going to the dr

oh yeah-the PZ pz means plus zero(coke zero)im NOT giving that up
