Had a lovely Christmas Day with my family. I was very spoilt - much to my surprise, I got a new snazzy digital camera from Santa so there are no excuses for not having more photos on my blog from now on! (Christmas Day photos to follow)
Boxing Day was spent on the couch - where else? - watching the cricket so I didn't make it to the pool for a swim. Saw Good Night and Good Luck with Mr Jen_Swims last night - very good.
My ITB has been pretty good - a bit tight on Christmas morning but otherwise it's been niggle free. I'm seeing my usual chiro/osteo next week so I'll speak to him then about when I'm likely to be able to return to running (*she says with fingers crossed trying not to jinx herself)
Today has been a busy day - up early for a swim, followed by breakfast and seeing Pride and Prejudice with one of my closest girlfriends, T *waves*. Loved P & P - it's one of my favourite books and I was pretty scared that the movie would butcher the story but I'm v. pleased to say that it didn't.
Activity: swim
Time: 8am
Duration: 35mins
Mood/energy: pretty tired
ITB: not bad.
Was out the front of the pool waiting for it to open today so I that I could squeeze my swim in before meeting T for breakfast at 9.15am. I felt heavy in the pool today - no doubt a result of doing nothing more strenuous than lifting a fork or wine glass to my mouth over the last few days. I also went out a bit hard in the first 500m and paid for it during the rest of the session. However ultimately I did 50m more than I normally do in my 35mins session so I left feeling v. happy and looking forward to a relaxing day.
Summary: 35.05mins; 1,450m
Tomorrow - it's back to work, to the gym and to the chiro/osteo

Looking forward to some photos now Jen!
Hope the ITB comes good for you in 2006 - think positive thoughts! I will also send some positive vibes your way.
Hey, we went to see Good night and Good luck yesterday too!
I'll be in the CBD on Thursday if you want to catch up for a coffee. I've an appt at 11 so we could do something before or after that.
Welcome back Jen. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos now.
Good positive swim report, only saw one bad word in the blog, 'work'.
Take it easy tomorrow. Thursday is good for coffee too if you need to be tempted away from time-sheets.
Boxing day watching the cricket - is there anything better (apart from snoozing on the couch between overs).
Photos? Great stuff - lets see 'em!
The toughest days end with great results, it is a fact!!
I can't wait to see all those pictures!!
Cant wait for some pics!!! Sounds like you had a great Christmas... well deserved! Yeah that the ITB is being a little more well behaved!
Glad to see you enjoying the cricket Jen. Thanks for the kind words on our blog. I know it seems as though your injury problems are never going to end. Just hang in there, keep doing what you have to get you back out there. Glad the swimming is going well.
Your swimming is awe inspiring, thanks for sharing it with us Jen. :)
It comes but once a year and it sounds like you spent Chrissy doing exactly what should be done - isn't it great!
looking forward to seeing your photos!
