Thanks guys. Next up is the Vaal marathon. Yes it is a big step up. But the aim is to finish regardless of time. If I do manage to get in under 5 it will be a bonus.
Legs were still good at the finish. Guess if I had to, I could have gone further. But I think the distance was just right for now. I don't want to over do it.
I ran my first half marathon this weekend at the McCarthy Toyota in PTA. The aim was to finish without feeling like I want to die. I finished in a time of 2:19 Overall I am very happy with my first 21km. From here things can only get better.
Attended my first club TT on Tuesday since 1994. It was a big shock to my body as I am not used to the pace for the distance. I did the 8km which was actually 7.5km, what a tough little route with over 130m of climbing all in the last 4km. I survived and looking forward to do the next one... but not next week.
Oh yes I do want both. The peregrines has my name all over them. Let me think about it. ... wait thinking part is over now. ... This will be the to me from me chrismas present.
I got the kinvaras with the shoe booster and still have a long way to go before I can boost again. At the moment I only have this one pair of running shoes. So I am looking to get something as a second pair that will be more durable. But still cannot decide if I should get a trail running shoe or a high mileage road shoe.
Thanks for all the shoe mileage posts. I have done about 400km on my Kinvara's now but have done quiet a bit of off road running with them and cannot see them lasting another 400km.
Vetties my Babe, When it gets rough and tough... remember I am watching your dot and I don’t like to see your dot hanging around the same spot for too long. Good luck and enjoy.
