Thursday - January 3
23min 56 seconds - 1000m freestyle.
Was supposed to run to the pool, but was seriously hurting today so I walked.
Well I might be officially SCREWED!!! I'm sorry LEMmings...
You know that Pain I had on Monday night, Well I'm still sore today. I still thought I'd pulled a muscle but now I have - Blood in the urine last night and this morning - DOCTOR THINKS I HAVE A KIDNEY INFECTION!!! (or a kidney stone, or a tumour - But the first one is by far the most likely)
Can't get in for an ultrasound until monday. Samples have been sent to the lab and I'll be doing "light work" and drinking lots of water until I get the results.
Thought I better post this here too. I posted it a little earlier in the SPOUSE SUPPORT THREAD
He's become my cycling coach. I don't need to join a bunch ride when I get enough training and motivation chasing his arse on the brisbane corso! ^_^ It's a great view! I keep getting top 5 places in my age group so his method is DEFINATLEY working!
He buys me tri gear, and he's a bit of a gadget nut. AND he loves coming to races so he can check out the bike porn (even if most of it is TT bikes!) and
As well as being my cycling coach, He is also my cheersquad, bike servicer, massage therepist, nutritionist, team car, photographer, eye candy type sherpa.
Even though triathlon is something I do for me, I couldn't do it without him.

Man I'm so glad I did this. LOTS of rests in between but some interval sessions are good right! Should be a good group. One of the instructors is new too so overall a very friendly no threatening group! I really injoyed it!
Best News I've heard all year! If you haven't heard we're in the middle of a drought! So rain is a VERY good thing!
Who else is back to the grindstone today? There's like no one here at work! Majority of people are still on holidays. It's so god damn cold in the office here! I'm going to go over to target and buy a jacket/jumper or scarf or something. it's FREEZING

Interesting smell on the run this morning. The rain and humidity actually bought up the smell of KOALA SHIT as I ran through the scrub near bowie's flat. As the smell got stronger, I did find the " evidence" so I stopped and looked up and around for the little bugga.

YIKES! Man I was in pain last night. On my right side just under my ribs. It stretched from the bottom of my rib cage (including the last rib) down to just to the right of my abs, around my back to where my right kidney is then all the way down my back to the top of my hips.
It HURT. It was like I'd overstretched the muscle! OUCH. Fiance gave me a really nice massage but when he got to these spots it was ABSOLUTE AGONY!!! ;_;
My legs are still sore from the fitness test I did on sunday. Those squats are AWESOME!!! The run this morning certainly helped that out.
Smelt this on the run this morning. Couldn't find the source of it though. It's nice to know there are Koalas around!
Oh yeah - I sent an email to intraining! ^_^ Hopefully I'll be joining their run class tomorrow night! EEP!

Enchanted was a GREAT flick and I highly reccommend taking along younger girls to go see it!
I was too busy laughing at the prince getting run over by the peleton to notice what bikes the guys were riding. LOL It was too funny. Guess I'll just have to wait for the DVD.
I even was singing my head off in the car on my way home! Although I'm trying to remember the lyrics now and all I can think of is "how does she know?"
Was a good flick! DEFINATLEY a chick flick. Definatley a kid flick. The animation is pure disney! The Kings and Queens ball is beautiful - And like Evie so eliquently put it when we were watching the fairy godmother is a 6 year old wielding an American express credit card scene "What? Don't you need a signature in America?"
Is that true?
Can a six year old really go into a boutique store and buy designer shite and pay for it with Daddy's credit card??? O_O
Guess there's nothing else to blog here except:

I've decided to give the Women's Health Ultimate fitness plan '08 a whirl! Click here to read more!
It apparently goes for six months. But I was drawn to it out of the fact that there's also self monitoring every few weeks to see where I'm improving or need extra work. I needed something to help me with strength and flexibility - I figured this was a good way to start.
The Fitness test I completed today can be found here and has set me up for the exercises I need to incorporate into my training for the next 4 weeks.
And so - The results are
CARDIO: 110 recovery average heart rate. SOLID
STRENGTH - Upper: Can complete 2 ankle and 10 of the knee stability ball push ups SOLID/STRONG
STRENGTH - Lower: 24 SOLID
FLEXIBILITY: Didn't understand the instructions - So I'm unsure if I completed it correctly - ASPIRING/SOLID
BALANCE: Left foot is dominant. TOP SCORE 15 STRONG. Right foot was pathetic. 5 ASPIRING.
AGILITY: Left foot is dominant. 28 STRONG. Right foot was shakey. 24 SOLID
Interesting results. I know I have a "high" heart rate. It maxes out in tries a lot higher than my Fiance's does when he's sprinting in a race on his bike. The strength was kind of unexpected. I know I'm a lot stronger since I started swimming but that's pretty impressive! Flexibility was no suprise. I'm as flexible as concrete. The Balance and agility results were suprising.
I'm right handed but in these tests I'm clearly left leg dominant!
I thought I'd be pretty good at balancing since I used to skate a lot. But then after I completed this test it dawned on me that whenever I did a graceful fly in my skate class or on my rollerblades I was always balanced on my left foot, arm's spread and my right foot out the back behind me. I used to skate laps like that! Rarely did I use my right foot!
The other reason I'm so crappy on my right leg is because I spent almost two years balancing on my left because the bone in my tibia was regrowing after surgery to remove a cyst caused by the golden staff bug. Ever since I was diagnosed with that bout of Osteomyelitis in high school I guess I've been "tredding with care" on my right foot... Might explain why I can't stand running too. If these tests are anything to go by then all my power is probably coming from my left leg!
So - I guess I've got a strength and flexibility plan to work on for the next six months. It'll be pretty to good to blog about that's for sure.
Then I'll get a treat tomorrow! I'm going to see ENCHANTED! It's only been open here for a week - As usual Australia has to wait ages for the disney flicks which show up in the states soooo much earlier. >_< I'm taking Evie (Mini triathlete!) and her little sister along. Should be a good day. Fiance's staying at home since it's a "kid-chick" flick.
I dunno - If the adds are anything to go by - I'd like to see the prince get run over by those cyclists in the park! I can "brand spot" if I can. ^_^
