I'm Back...aaaarrrrr FLASH....AAARRRRRR Clairie....(sung to the Flash Gordon music of course...)
mmm okay so it wasn't really that much of an achievement...but it was Fantastic.
I got a stitch, couldn't breathe, my legs were aching and I was smiling the whole time. Weird what we put ourselves through in order to have some fun heh?
Alarm went off at 4.10am this morning and I thought I was nuts. However with Tesso waiting on me I decided I had better get moving. My fat arse hasn't done anything for exactly six weeks since the op so today was MOVEMENT DAY. I got Billy up, fed him, changed him and threw him (= placed gently) in the car. Off we went to PCRG for our first session post op.
Ran with Tesso for the 3km warm up and felt great. Okay we were at the back of the pack and she was almost walking to stay with me but it was wonderful to just be out there with everyone. I did a few minutes whilst everyone went off and did their speed session but I didn't want to push it too much. I mean really if I follow the rules of getting back into it I should'nt be doing more than 10% each week....though how do you start if 10% of nothing always = zero :))))
The cool down was better for me because I was used to the action of running now and I felt I could go forever...until about 500m out from the end and a slight rise (remember I WAS pushing the pram) caused me to groan and ease to a walk for a bit. I didn't have the energy to do any pushups (my arms would have hated me) so I stretched, had a coffee and raced Billy off to care and me to work.
I feel fantastic, exhausted, tired, sore. But this is what I have been missing.
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO

Terrific news Clairie. i was getting all depressed and down in the dumps but now I am smiling agian. Clairie is back! Yahoo!
Good on you Fred!
Happy to hear this too Clairie.
Glad you're taking good care of young Billy as well. Just some advice. In the carpark, just leave the car windows a little open as bubs might get a little hot in the car waiting for you to finish your run!
Wilmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Good one Clairie. Now just teach Billy to ring the cowbells whenever he says Mummy and your set.
That's the way to go, Clairie! Don't overdo it though....at least, not yet!
really? you hide your excitement well, great to see you again
Glad to hear you're well and back into it Clairie.
Man, it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good to have you back at Pat's!
I can't believe how well you ran. We were NOT going slow in the warmup. If you think we were then I am always slow as that is my normal warmup pace.
Hope Billy did get DOMS :)
Oh no, I meant to say I hope Billy didn't get DOMS!!
