Well our netball team was so ready for the first set of the semi's today and i am pretty sure we did the best warm up we had ever done but then the other team just didn't turn up :$ Twas a bit weird but that means that next week we play the team we played the week before and we have to win to get into the Grand final.
ooooo ...... nervous :}

Rest Day today. I walked home from school with two of my friends. It was heaps fun. Just dawdled and talked the whole way. Is a pretty big walk though. Maybe not something you would do everyday because yea, Is pretty far. But yea, good fun : )

So wasn't motivated for the run today. Was freezing cold and minutes before "Kazza" and i left to go out it was raining. So already was pleased with myself before we had started : )
Ran out and then turned around and ran pretty much the same route back. Has been ages since i have been for a road run and at the start i was feeling not so good and i got a bit frustrated (sorry mum : ] ) however at the end in the last section mum set ,e a challenge to get the time down to 5 minutes so i ran heaps harder and i ddn't feel that bad. So yes, that was a bit wierd but anywho. It was good to get out for my first road training run in such a long time, i needed to do so before the City to Surf : )

Yes, thats right. I stretched! yay. And the stretch showed that my bum is pretty much better. It still hurts in one stretch but i can do the normal hamstring stretch with no pain at all YAY! : ]

We did a little warm up and then go straight into it. It felt so wierd on the bike because it has been a while since i have been so that caused me to get a little saddle sore too : ( It was a good class, Very exhausting and hard, but good. We did a bit of everything, Sprints, long tracks and hills. There were heaps of people there! When we finished we did a little warm down. When walking back to the car my legs felt heaps jelly : )

Coach planned on working us hard this week because the semi's are on Saturday. We did the drills like usual and then worked on more game play. We did base line and side line throwin's. We then played a game against another team training at the same time. I played WA for the whole time except at the end i had to go to playing GK for the other team because they didn't have enough players. Training was good fun : )

We had to run around all of the courts like usual but this time it was including the ones up the hill! It was ok though. When we got back we just did a stretch before we started training and as expected no Warm down was done : )

Did the usual, which is 10 lots of 6 laps. Was good because i haven't been in so long. There was a bit of confuzzle with the lanes and had to keep on changing all of the times but it was ok. My arms tended to feel sore on the 3rd and 4th laps in the sets but then it went again. Felt good, found it a bit hard to breathe a few times because of the badish chest but it was all good : )

You can tell from my time that my run wasn't the best. I stuffed up number 1 and then at number 2 I got to where my compass lead me and it ended up being that heaps and heaps of people were looking for it. There were heaps of controls in the green and at the end of my course i was going really slow because of it. Appart from that my course was good and i was running well through the bush but yea, i wish i didn't make those mistakes : )

I ran to the car and back before going to the start where i was really nervouse and was jumping like a rabbit. Once again i didn't do a warm down, I really think i should start them once in a while : )

C • oh so u were jumping like angus? 9
