Hans estimated this to be my time. This was still heaps off my pb, how laaame. didnt think much about the race. was a total mess this mornin, more worried about a) neck fringe, b) silly shorts, c) caning myself on the bunting. My arms and legs felt heavy and slowwww. Caught up on all the goss w lara but :P my biorhythm outlook is not good :(
Running warm up/down 20:00 [3]

Was gonna go for a long run but didnt want to- fail :( . I was heaps sleepy from lying on the porch. i saw ducks in the bush. in lambton :S, and they flew up really high & stood around in the trees- trippyy. i got soo bored which is strange cos nobody else says they get bored when runnin. ive just discovered i am incredibly tired and my quads hurt.

slept:10.0 shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 14
The weather was sooo beautiful today. It srsly took me 3hrs to get outta bed and go for a run, cos i was worried about it bein cold. Ive been wishing for warmth and sunshine this past week and i finally got it today. yesss. Im quite sore in some odd places like knees, ankles, mainly in the quads but. it hurts to touch them. is that normal? But it was really nice. I couldnt think of anywhere else i wanted to go so it was only short. I really should go exploring in the bush someday, thatd be awesome. Im thinkin of goin for my super long run tmow to gear up for the king of the mountain!! but its only like a wk befor so mayb theres no point...? oh and im considerin doin a half marathon on my birthday

Running race (State) 14:09 [5] 4.0 km (3:32 / km)
shoes: Go Fast Shoes
Wasnt v hyped befor the race. Had a good start, stayed in 4 position whole race (overtook 1, got overtaken by 1). All the hunter girls were so supportive :) team mhs put in a solid effort but i think their abilities were partly impaired by a)gettin up at 4am, b)the sheer amount of food eaten, c)pre race aerobics. lol i love them. i hav mixed feelings about my result. frustrated/disappointed that i didnt make nationals. hmm.. cant decide btwn intense training or none at all. ill prolly make a half hearted attempt.
today was heaps of fun & josh ran soooo well :D im so proud, wat a machine :O!!!
