Sore back still

I didn't run yesterday or go to pump class because my back was a bit sore- I am sort of glad that I didn't go to pump because if I did then I would have thought that the back pain was from pump.
I did spend a lovely day at the Flemington Market and Chadstone- spending all the money that I saved from having an early night on Saturday. I also caught up with a friend for a coffee in the afternoon.
My upper back and shoulders were so sore by the time I went to bed and they are sore now so I have put off doing any exercise today as well. I might try to go to the gym in the morning and have a run on the dreadmill. I can't think of what else I am going to do. I can't not exercise but I am frightened of back pain and I don't want to make it worse.

Albert Park Lake x3

I slept in till 7am this morning thanks to a very disrupted sleep so I didnt really get to the lake until 8. Because I was so tired I really struggled to keep the pace up but I concentrated on making the first two laps good ones- it was so lovely and sunny that I was glad that I was wearing a singlet top. My third lap was awful, the wind had picked up on the golf course side and it was pushing me backwards- I slowed right down to 6.45min/km even though I had been hovering around 6min/km for the rest.
Then when I should have been having a glorious tail wind I had a terrible stitch. I had started having sports beans while I was running and I was pretty happy with them even though they weren't as good as Roger Ramjets proton pills like I had been secretly hoping. I must have had too many beans because I don't normally get a stitch when I run. The beans are just like jelly beans but not as sweet- I prefer them to the gels which get me heading to the toilets very quickly (I think it is the caffeine). So I was practising being hard core and running through the pain but it just got worse and worse so I ended the run about 1km from the car- 13.5 all up in an average pace of 6.20 min/km.
I will have to revise the plan of just running every 3rd day because I am not going to get enough kms in before 27th of May- I am not prepared for that run at all. I am not even averaging 100km a month at the moment- must start to get those kms up a bit.
My PF was pretty bad at the end- I think I was just in a bit of a slump at the end, tired from lack of sleep and then my PF started hurting. I have been icing it in a bucket all morning in between random bouts of cleaning after BF tells me that his friends are coming here in an hour and the place looks like a bomb hit it.
Working day shift all week is going to take its toll- I just can't seem to keep on top of the detritus that litters every free surface!
You have to check out completerunning.com it has a video of how to pick a marathoner and it made me laugh out loud!

I ran! (and stayed on my feet the whole time!)

I went around the Tan this morning with Bella- she was so well behaved and hardly stopped at all to sniff random patches of grass. I did a proper warm up and then a lap, then the loop from Anderson St hill down to the Swan St bridge and back along the other side.
Man, I was so slow but there were no ankle, neck or shoulder problems so I am still counting it as a success!
Now the idea is that this weekend I will get 3 laps of the lake in (at 3 varying speeds), then the Great Train Run Disaster will be next weekend (where I realise that doing no hill training is not the best preparation for a hilly run) followed by a massive 18-20 km run on the Mothers Day weekend before starting to taper for the Sri Chinmoy HM on the 27th of May. Half of me wants to pike out and do the HM at Run2G in June instead but I figure that I have gone into every run very underdone so one more won't hurt.
Looks like a rainy run on Saturday- I can't wait!

Physio Says Yes

I am allowed a short moderate run tomorrow- very excited! I think I will take Bella to the
Tan again. The physio gave my neck and back a pummelling- considering on Friday my neck was too sore to touch and today she was kneading it like it was bread. Still no cycling and I have to make sure it doesn't hurt and if it does- stop (that sounds like common sense but I think we all know that I need those things spelled out).

I got up early and went to the dawn service- I left it a bit late and so had to park and then nearly run there. Sadly I was dressed for work and so I was in the worlds most stupid shoes - apart from my other heels- I am actually quite sore from powerwalking down St Kilda Road- I think I undid all the good work from my weeks rest.
There was a couple behind me also running late who were definitely in the ANZAC spirit- they embodied the whole ANZAC concept by fighting furiously, refusing to admit defeat and never giving up. I wanted to turn around and say 'It doesn't matter who was supposed to get up early and check the road closures and whose fault you got stuck on Punt Road, just start practising that minute's silence now or you will both be walking home'. Then I remembered it was none of my business.

I was so tired after work that I had a little nanna nap before taking Bella to the park. I did some more powerwalking around the park with my friend Jane and her dog Wilbur. I am always a bit unhappy with a nanna nap because I don't sleep very well afterwards but I have started re-reading my school novels and I am sure that Wuthering Heights can still send me to sleep!

Still Resting

I am going to the physio tomorrow- nothing to report again but I did take Bella to the Tan this morning for a good walk. I try to take her to different places so that she gets to sniff some new things (and I got to do a lap of the Tan even though I wasn't running). We also walked along the Yarra for a bit too.
I feel like I am getting a head cold and I am generally cranky about other non running related issues- but normally being able to exercise allows me to cope with everything but having been told no swimming or cycling as well has meant that I am just a little less tolerant of everything. Boring. Promise I will be happier tomorrow.

Still Not Running

I am not running yet- I will go back to the physio and get the okay first- so I really shouldn't be sitting here eating yummy fudge that I bought in Hobart (chilli chocolate fudge- so chocolatey and so hot) seeing as I haven't exercised for days and the diet has been terrible.
My neck and back are still a bit sore and I am just sick of it now. I had no idea how bad it is to have this sort of injury- and mine is minor- you just can't do anything without being reminded of it. At least with my ankle I can sit at my desk and forget about the pain until I stand up. This enforced rest is probably doing wonders for my ankle- just not the size of my butt.
New office is sort of ok, a bit complicated but I hated the other place so this was always going to be better.
Oh dear, it is quarter to seven and I am wondering if it is too early to go to bed- I really need a life.

Weekend in Hobart

I have just returned from Hobart and I am so tired but I am resisting the urge for a nanna nap.
Friday- I went to the physio and he said no running, no cycling or swimming (not much chance of that in Hobart!). He said my neck tendons are like piano wire and gave me some movements to practise and suggested anti-inflammatories. We flew to Hobart and had dinner with Dad's cousin and his wife who had also come over with us from Melbourne to find out about the Tasmanian Morses.
My sister and I were tired so we went to bed early - though not before I had gone up to the room we were sharing and short sheeted her bed. I know it is childish and I am 32 now- but it is almost tradition and the look on her face was hilarious- she rang my brother in Perth to complain but I had already told him what I planned to do so he just laughed at her.

Saturday- I got up early and wandered around Hobart - it is such a beautiful old city though I am surprised they don't really make the most of the water frontage. Then Prue finally got up (a bit grumpily because our hotel was next to a pub that had loud music and yahoos out the front all night) and we went to the Salamanca markets- so close to the hotel and so much food! I had a great vegan pie- I wish I had two! We didn't buy a lot but I think we must have wandered around for about three hours. We went to meet Dad's 2nd cousin Eric who is 88 and has researched the family history. We had lunch and were each given a book that traces our ancestory. It was so good to meet relatives! We only have a few that we are in contact with and thankfully Eric has written down where we have come from or it would all be lost.
From Eric's we walked to the Cascade Brewery and although my Dad was concerned we wouldn't be able to get a drink there (!!!) we settled in and sampled some of the local wares.
Saturday night we went to the Casino with Eric and his daughter to have dinner at the buffet- the food was ordinary but that is not surprising- when I hear the word buffet I think only of Smorgy's. Then we had a few drinks in the bar (where Eric Bana was telling his friends about smashing his car during the Targa Rally) and went back to the hotel to hear the live music from the pub next door through the walls until about 3am!

Such a great weekend- it would have only been better if I had a chance to run along the path that runs along the water from the war memorial- it looked so good- and you can even run over their bridge which is enormous.

My head, neck and shoulders are feeling much better- I am sure I should be allowed to run soon but I have learnt the hard way that it is better to listen to the advice of medical professionals- after all we do pay them for it!

Me at Cascade Brewery

Harbour at dawn

Mt Wellington from Hamden Park Road.

My neck and shoulders are still sore so I am off to the doctor today then I might have to consider some physio if it doesnt get better- my neck is very sore to touch and my non- medically minded colleagues have diagnosed whip lash.
I am heading to Hobart tomorrow to meet the long lost relatives so Bella is under the control of BF which is causing me angst all ready. BF doesn't like to walk Bella (unless it is 6am and he just got home from the pub and decides to follow me to work with Bella wearing only his red man panties- but that is a whole other story) and so I am preparing to be greeted by a lot more damage to the lawn on Sunday.
I was hoping to have a run in Hobart and I haven't ruled it out yet, I will try to go to spin tomorrow morning before we leave but if I am still in pain I may give that a miss. Funny, I don't mind ankle pain, but this is horrible.
Thanks for all your kind comments- I had forgotten about falling over on Saturday too so yes, I do spend a lot of time on the ground.

Hit by a truck (well dog really)

You might remember my friend Leslie, with the arm in a sling after surgery after she was knocked over by her dog at the park?? Well this morning she and a friend came to the park just as Bella and I were leaving so I could go to the gym (you know where this is going don't you?) and they had Arnie and Lucy, Leslie's two dogs with them.
I very nicely offered to pick up Arnies poop because Leslie was still in a sling and her friend looked freaked out by the thought- as was I but I figured if I can pick up Bella's, I can pick up Arnie's. As I walked back from the bin Arnie hit me from behind as he ran along chasing Bella and knocked my legs clean out from under me. The first thing that hit the ground was the back of my head.
It took me a little while to realise where I was and what had happened by which stage Leslie and her friend were trying to make me stay on the ground while I was trying to get up while the dogs were coming over to slobber on me.
I didn't make it to the gym and now I am sitting at work, my neck and shoulders are so stiff I can barely move them and I have a thumper of a head ache.
I think I might have to go home but I am moving offices to a new task force next Monday so I have a lot of stuff to tidy and arrange.
I haven't googled my symptoms (yet!) but I am tipping this could nearly be a mild concussion- all I want to do is sleep but Leslie was a nurse and said I should try to stay awake!

*Edit* I came home from work early and rang "Nurses On Call" and after asking a lot of questions the kind nurse stopped laughing at me and told me it was all right to have a sleep, some panadol, no alcohol and if my pupils were different sizes, my arms felt tingly or I started vomiting then I should go to hospital. So I have just had some sleep and I feel a bit better.

Morning Run

I am on arvo today so I slept in until 6 and then took Bella to the park before heading to the Tan. I did one lap then headed over the Yarra and ran to Clarendon Street and then back along the other side, then another lap of the Tan and I was done. I bumped into a friend on the last lap of the tan and so I stopped for a quick chat that turned into a long chat so when I went to run again my muscles had cooled down and my ankle was hurting a lot more. I was going to run a bit further but I decided not to push it. I think it was about 13.5 km and my heart rate max was 86% and average was 75%. I averaged 6.30 min/k which was what I was aiming for.
Steve was right- I need to find new places to run- I really enjoyed this run because I had the security of knowing where the toilets were in the early part of the course (!) and then I was along a path where I don't normally run and I also got to run amongst the normal people in suits heading off to work along southbank.

My legs were still screaming at me from pump class on Sunday- I had to run and answer my phone at work yesterday and every step hurt everywhere, including my pecs. Luckily I had a very good bra on today so there was no painful pec jiggle!
I had a swim yesterday morning before work because I was having dinner with girlfriends last night and wouldnt make it to spin class. I am not sure about the swimming in the morning thing- I was so tired all day and it makes me hungry.

Anyway I am off to walk Bella again so that I can wear her out so she doesn't dig anymore holes.

Too much red wine (and pump class)

I got up very very late this morning- possibly the latest I have slept in for ages- and I really earned it. I drank and ate so much yesterday that I definitely needed a little lie in. Sadly while I was at the wedding Bella chose to punish me by digging SIX holes in the lawn- it looks awful. I didn't notice last night so it was a rude shock this morning.
I walked Bella to East Malvern to collect my sisters car and then drove it to her house and she drove us home.
I pretty much just cleaned all day then went to Pump class tonight and I really cranked up the weights- my legs, butt, arms and shoulders will be shouting at me tomorrow.
I was planning on going swimming in the morning but I will see how things pan out- I am worried my shoulders will be too sore- might just use the kickboard and flippers.

Boring run

I headed out this morning feeling less than happy after a very bad nights sleep and I think I should get used to it, definitely more where that came from. I walked Bella and for the first time I realised that it didn't take me a 2km walk to get my joints moving freely and pain free! Bella had a very good run and didn't get into any blues in the park.
I drove to the Tan simply because I was lacking in imagination and did two very poor laps- on the second I stumbled over my enormous feet and did that stumbly run where you are trying to stop from falling but all you do is increase the pace for when you eventually hit the deck. So now I have a wedding to go to with nasty scrapes on my right leg (the right side is the problem everytime!)
I got up hastily- but there is no disguising the fact I had been lounging on the track, I was covered in dust and bleeding.
I kept running- but I decided to head down the path along the Yarra so I didnt have to look at anyone who saw me reclining on the ground. I wasn't very happy and my leg was stinging so after I stumbled two more times but managed to stay upright I thought I should quit while I am still in one piece. I must have been more tired than I thought if I couldn't even lift my feet properly without concentrating.
I am icing my foot but it really felt good after my run, I had no real soreness in my PF or ankle- mainly just the toe extender- and the palms of my hands and my right lower leg. One day I will be grown up enough not to have scabby knees and grazed palms!

3 Laps of Tan

I headed out a little later than usual this morning- got to the Tan at about 8am after walking Bella and driving to the Tan in the luxury of a car that doesn't wake up the neighbours everytime I drive off!
I did my first lap averaging 6.30min/k and then tried to ramp up the pace for the second lap- sadly I had used up all my energy on the first run up the hill and found myself severly lacking for the second trip. I still averaged 5.33 min/km for the second lap and the third was pretty abysmal because I was exhausted but I concentrated on keeping it around 6.30 min/k. My heart rate was okay- it was climbing through the roof for the quick lap when I was going up the hill but otherwise stayed around 75%.
I was a sweaty girl when I finished- and very unhappy because it meant climbing into my new car and being far too concerned about how dirty the seats would get. I don't know how long I will be this precious for!

I went to the physio afterwards and she told me that the pain in the top of my foot is a strained big toe extender tendon (yes Deege, I made that one up too!) so she got stuck into it and I nearly cried- but it is better than my diagnosis. The rest of my problems are all being managed nicely according to the physio and she said I should just keep going, every 3 days for a run and only go back to her if there is a problem. I am happy with that because my health insurance doesn't subsidise my visits very much after this many.

More rest days....and a new car

I took the train to Warrnambool yesterday and bought a car! I have said goodbye to my 94 Laser TX3- red of course and now I have a 2006 Mazda3 and a lot more debt. I do miss my old car- but the exhaust got so loud that I kept turning up the radio to drown out the sound that I eventually blew out the speakers. It really sounded like a truck- my new car purrrrrrrs!
I spent the night at Mum and Dad's then drove home this morning- it is nice to go home even if it is just for the night though it always results in too much red wine.

The top of my foot has been really sore, it doesn't matter what shoes I wear or how much I ice it, it just really hurt to walk. I think the rest has been fantastic though and it is getting better so the plan is to see how it is in the morning when I go for a walk with Bella and have a run if it doesn't hurt at all.
I have booked to see the physio in the morning so it should all be sorted out anyway.

The new plan (depending on what the physio says) is the Sri Chinmoy HM on 27th of May (after I get back from Perth).

Damn rest day (strange foot pain)

I had to work early this morning so I didn't make it out for anything other than a walk with Bella before I had to stand at the tram stop waiting for a very very late tram. I was still the first one in the office and spent a very boring day doing nothing worthy.
I took Bella for another walk when I got home and realised that my weird top of the foot/ big toe pain is getting worse. Of course I have been checking runner's rescue and have decided that I have a stress fracture in my metatarsal- who knows but it damn hurts.
I have two days off now and I am heading to the countryside to buy a new car- hopefully! My old car is safely in the hands of BF's dad who is fixing it for the new owner (18 y.o guy- I am sure he would have preferred the noisy exhaust).
My Mum has found the perfect car for me in Warrnambool so I am off on the train in the morning to see if she is right! Hopefully I will be driving back to Melbourne- not that I don't like the train but it wears thin after a while, especially during school holidays.

1.3km (dont worry it was a swim)

Had a great sleep in- it is so nice when I wake up, realise it is morning and I haven't been called into work during the night! One more night- touch wood.

I walked Bella then rode to the Prahran pool for a swim- I took my flippers and after a short warm up I just grabbed my kickboard and used my flippers to power along- my legs were burning and it felt really good. I finished off with some laps - freestyle up and breaststroke back. I felt so tired while I was swimming but when I got out I felt really good.
I forgot my thongs again so when I had a shower I stood on my kickboard- last time I forgot them I showered in my flippers and nearly fell over several times- I imagined that I would fall and someone would have to break down the door to rescue me as I lay on the floor wearing nothing but flippers. Maybe next time!
I also rode my bike for about an hour- I said I would feed my friend Amy's two cats while she and her family were away- forgot I had no car but it wasn't too hard to cycle there and go to the supermarket as well.

I have decided not to do the Bunbury HM- I really wanted to run with Celeste because it would be her first HM but now she is injured and I don't think it will be the same. I rang and cancelled the motel I booked for Cam, Bec, the kids and I and they didn't charge me for it. I think I might either do the Run2the G HM or the Sri Chinmoy Williamstown HM on 27 May instead. So I am still going to Perth to see Harry and Daisy (and Cam and Bec) and I will hopefully get to meet Celeste also. I sort of feel a bit relieved- I wasn't feeling that confident with such a small field and they make the HM start 90 minutes after everyone else - and I need a head start not a time penalty! I feell like a piker especially because I have already sent off my entry form- I emailed the organisers and told them to keep it for next year!

Run around the lake

I got up at stupid o'clock this morning (5am)- took Bella for a quick run then headed out to run to Albert Park Lake- fortunately my friend Deb was driving past on her way to the Tan and she offered to drive me to the lake.
So I did two laps- the first at 6.30 min/k pace and the second at 6 min/k pace. I am so bad at keeping a constant pace and considering how flat it is around the lake it is a bit embarrassing. I just lose focus and slow down. I tried to keep on top of it and stay focused but I was a bit all over the pace. I also tried the sports beans I bought at a cycle shop the other day- I think the gels have caffeine in them and it is no good for my guts and usually results in a "comfort stop"- the beans were fine, though I couldn't chew and run at the same time! What an unco loser!! Sadly after I paid $3 at the cycle shop I found them at Coles for $1.50.
I ran home from the lake - making it 12km all up and I was pretty happy that I averaged 6.10 min.k for my two laps.
When I was walking Bella I noticed that the bone that runs along my foot towards my big toe was quite sore- I thought I must have taped my foot too tight so I loosened off the tape but it just got very sore as I was running and now I am in quite a bit of pain.
It all makes sense- now that I can run without the PF or my ankle hurting I have to have another niggle- surely it is psychosomatic- I just need the attention for my feet!
Back to the physio next week for sure.
BF has gone to his parents for a few days and work told me to do my computer assignment from home for the weekend so I am not going to work- just hanging with Bella in the sun!

Great Friday (Only 4.5kg to Bunbury!)

The weather is fantastic this morning- such a glorious day and such a shame I have to work at 3pm but thems the breaks.
I got up early and went and met Leslie who has the two large dogs, she had recent shoulder surgery after her dog Arnie knocked her over while we were out walking and dislocated her shoulder and broke part of the socket off! So it is hard for her to walk her dogs and I have been terrible and haven't helped her apart from one measly walk a few weeks ago. So I took Bella and Arnie (enormous white American bulldog - possibly part pony!) and she had her elderly boxer Lucy.
We wandered around the various parks in the area until the dogs were exhausted and then we walked them back to her house. I feel like a much better person now- she pays a dog walker because otherwise the dogs become destructive so I must make more of an effort in the next few weeks. Bella loves playing with Arnie too because he is indestructible.

Anyway- yesterday I did spin class in the morning and rode my bike to and from work- I took Bella for a massive power walk as well. I went to Weight Watchers last night and I have lost 1.3kg in the last two weeks! I was so happy with myself- finally I am making the right decisions.
I am going swimming this morning before I go to work- because I have no car, I have no choice but to ride to the pool but it is such a lovely day I think I would anyway. My legs are killing me from pump the other morning but I am feeling strong at the moment- though my PF is a bit sore so I am definitely thinking that the 2 rest days between runs is a good idea. I will go back to the physio next week.

46 Sleeps Until Bunbury!

Had a massive sleep in until 7.30 this morning- Bella didn't even mind because she was asleep beside the bed because BF had to work until 5am. After I had taken Bella for a walk I ran down Orrong Road to the Yarra and back again- 5km all up and it is very undulating! This is the beginning of my Great Train Race training- but I think the key might be to do the hills as part of a much longer run because it was pretty easy today. My heel/ PF thing is pretty sore but the usual ankle problem is slowly subsiding!
I also went to Pump class today (with the crazy shouting nasty instructor who likes to tell people off for putting away their step early!!) as well so I am feeling all right about going to weigh in tomorrow night- I will probably keep putting on weight thanks to last weeks inactive little tapering session but seeing as I am working over Easter there shouldn't be a blow out with chocolate and hot cross buns.
I need to find a pool that is open on Good Friday so I can keep my plans of cross training going.

Bella is a Staffy Lab cross- which makes her very playful but very determined!

Taking it very easy

I had yesterday off and today was a bit of a rest day also! My BF organised for his dad to fix my car up a bit and sell it so I drove it to Bendigo at 5.30 this morning and organised to work an afternoon shift- I got the train back from Bendigo after saying goodbye to little red car (hopefully forever!).
I didn't get to walk Bella properly because I left so early so I was not surprised to see she had dug a massive hole in the lawn. I took her to the park and she got into a fight so I gave her a talking to about smartening up- just like my mum would have given me.
I decided to make it to 1200 Pump class at the gym but halfway out the door on my bike I realised that it was Tuesday not Monday and I was actually hurrying to Yoga. So I went anyway but spent my 40 minutes on the x-trainer doing interval work then gave the stepper a hiding as well. The intervals were based on the ones I would do around the Tan but it is surprising when you get a speed up on those things that they get a bit wobbly and I was a bit frightened that I was about to cause an incident!
I weighed myself at the gym and I am horrified at myself.
My muscles are still a bit sore but my ankle has pulled up really well so I am almost committed to the Great Train Run (and also Run2G)
Arvo again tomorrow so I might try a run tomorrow morning.

Run4Kids 88mins!

I am pretty glad that is over! It was so much fun and I beat last years time by 7 minutes!
I got up way too early, walked Bella to the park (where I was standing beside the road trying to work out what a noise was then I realised it was a couple having "ooshmackoondy" in the car I was standing next to- I was embarassed and they should have been).

I got home, stressed some more about doing number 2s then went and picked up my friend Kendra. I parked near work and we walked to the mosh pit! There were so many people- we ended up going to the Music Bowl toilets because the queue was only 20 metres long, not 120m! Then we had to find the baggage drop off then join the start. It must have taken 20 minutes for me to cross the line and the whole time I was getting less friendly with the organisers. Finally we were running and over the line and heading straight for the tunnel.

I didn't think the tunnel was that bad this year- last year I couldnt breath in there- but I lost Kendra who sprinted away. As usual the hills killed me and I was seriously thinking about walking up the Bolte but I took a few steps then realised I might never start running again so I kept going.
The Latrobe Street hill was probably the shortest but the worst for me- I was really struggling and hating every second- then when I got to Spencer Street I was back weaving through the crowd again.

My ankle was fine- my inner calf muscle was very nasty though and I might have to routinely strap it because I was starting to think that I would have to stop on the Bolte because it hurt so much. But I got distracted by Britney on my ipod and tried to forget about it.
My splits are all over the place- a few in the 5m/k and a few 6m/k and a 4 and an 8???? But my average pace was .......5.53 m/k! That is my fastest yet- faster even than the 8km Zoo Run! That is based on the course being 15km, and I am more inclined to believe that it was 14.8 which would still keep me under the 6min/k limit! I was so excited when I realised that I was going to beat last years time - I actually had some go left in my legs which is the opposite of last year where I could barely raise a trot at the end!

When I finished we were shunted into a mass of people that moved ever so slowly and all I wanted was a drink- I didn't drink at all on the course - though I poured one cup over my head. I was hungry, tired, blood sugar was getting low and we were shunted in with all the prams and bikes on sticks- the next person who pushed their pusher into my ankle was going to have that pusher pushed somewhere unpleasant!
After about 15 minutes I was given a bag containing rubbish but thankfully it had a tiny bottle of water in it and some lollies so my patience, tolerance and happy thoughts returned.

I went to Transport and met lots of Ausrunners and Coolrunners- had two beers (or was it three) then headed home (via the fish and chip shop....I know, but I decided I had earned it)

So I am sitting here in my 2XU tights (had to return them and get the small ones!) with my foot in a bucket of ice bricks. So tired and I was hoping the housework fairy might have visited while I was away but she must have run out of time.
