wild wally and tangerine tulips

Well i realllllly didn't want to get up and go out this morning. i had a bad attitude when i went to bed and a bad attitude when i got up. for some reason i actually went to sweat training despite all my best intentions :)

Today was Wild Wally - i was down to do only 3 of the 5 reps - no complaining here! i was pretty pleased that i did them (they are about 700m of hills i think) in 3.31, 3.30, 3.27 - so i improved with each one! yay! i want to go back and cross reference with my times from a few weeks ago - i am pretty sure i was up around the 4 min mark. of course that was when i was running on no food, no sleep and quite possibly still had a significant amount of 2 bottles of champagne in my bloodstream. but all good! plus amjan said she thought i was shrinking which was very nice! (thanks amanda!). now another 15 kilos and i am sure i'll go faster!

anyway - work is improving - the person i was doing a hard job for said even she didn't quite understand what we were doing it and that i was doing a good job. i'll hold back on feeling too pleased until i get the red-penned document back...

i also have a pot of gorgeous tangerine tulips that my mum sent me at work. makes me smile every time i see them! (perhaps not as much as getting 12 long stemmed red roses from a spunky boy - but pretty darn good nonetheless!).

i have been having a "niggle" of late on the back of my left knee, on the inside. i feel it mostly after (but sometimes during) a run, often when i am walking with long steps. feels like something is pulling. not sure what but i probably have been getting a bit lax on the hamstring stretching recently - but who knows! i am going to hope for a miracle disappearance - unless anyone has any suggestions?

i need to train my coffee shop what "light" butter on raisin toast means... (ie less than an oil slick...). tastes good though...
