SWEAT-y Tuesday

Well I did it! Got up early and debated how long it would take me to walk down to McKay Oval in Centennial Park. As always I overestimated by about 10 minutes but that was fine because I got to meet another new girl who was just lovely and who runs about as fast as me (hurray!!). (and Hi Jenny if you drop by!).

The session was fantastic and cause we were new Sean wanted us to take it easy. We did two laps to warm up and then some other running warm up things (i don't know how to describe them...). and then we got into the guts of it which was 10 x 400m reps. Sean suggested that we do every second one or 2 and then 1 off. In the end we did 7 out of 10 of them and finished with 3 in a row. Admittedly we were pretty slow (about 2mins! give or take 5 seconds) but i was amazed at just being able to finish. I can see the potential to improve!

But mostly i had a great time! i found that I recovered pretty well and didn't come away needing to spew - but I certainly felt like I worked. It was fun - but that could just be cause I'm new...

Was great to meet a few new CR faces and re-meet some others. Thanks to Mr Lulu and Don Juan and Sparkie and Amjan for being friendly!! And to Lulu for dropping down too, in her fantastic CR shirt.

So i'll be back on Thursday - which sounds like a hard session - but i'm starting to quite enjoy the back-of-the-pack.... excellent view....

PS - its nearly Easter!!!! hurray for easter eggs! although it will be a little sad because I will have to buy them for myself cause my mama is back in Perth... but I think i'm ok with that... at least i'll get one of those rabbits made out of that crap red tulip chocolate - to remind me of my childhood. (ok... and last year...)
