Haven't been able to concentrate for a week. I must have googled every down run tip I could find and worked out every single pacing permutation.

Haha I see I can't even spell properly. The word Hard missing completely and from became form

And you have to wake up at 2 am on race day if you live on Durban's side.

They should really give all Comrades runners compassionate leave the week before Comrades. Believe me, you are not alone. You and 21 000 people feel exactly the same.

 

One of my colleagues acted bravely today. He picked a fight with me... It didn't end well for him.  ^_^

 

Hey guys - been holidaying this long weekend. Briefly saw that Ferret was doing some secret training with Gerda!

 

but.....also saw lots of sick/injured people....Haac...lexx..Jackes...Andrew...Andrew's wife...updates please

I went for more needles on Monday, almost cried like a baby. I asked the physio if anyone has ever started crying from his therapy. He laughed and said no. He did say he does not normally butcher his patients the way he is doing with me right now due to the time constraints.

 

Yesterday, I felt a bit better. I am feeling very stressed as I am aware of my glute all the time. I had a 5km treadmill run this morning to test my butt. The first kilometer I felt very stiff but it felt better after 10 minutes or so.  I am feeling a bit sore now, so the stress levels are very high. 

 

I am seeing the physio again tomorrow, for my last strapping. He said I will be ok on Sunday, I might feel pain but I cannot break anything.  :unsure:

 

I am concentrating on staying positive and healthy at the moment. Trying not to think of anything negative. 

 

Sunday can really come now.

Thanks Stretch.  I took the Zitromax once off against my normal beliefs on Monday and continued to overdose with everything else I normally do as well.  Had two good nights sleep and feel a lot better today.  I trust and belief I will be healthy and VERY VERY rested come Sunday for what will most probably be a very lonnggg day.  

 

For the record, I have done 673km from Jan I see...  :rolleyes:

I'm still working tomorrow and can't wait , will be driving down Friday morning early. I'm looking forward to the fact that I will be on leave for a week even though I will most probably be in pain most of the time.

 

My number is 6849

We are also staying in Amanzimtoti. The bus is leaving at 3 am. At least you can try and sleep a bit on the bus, but normally you are way too nervous. It is a very long day.... but so worth it!
