2010

So the new year is upon us, 2009 nothing but memory.
Have you made any New Years Resolutions, and if so, what were they? Have you managed to stick to them so far???


I hit the ground running this year - Saturday 2nd January saw me running 22km in the heat with a group of friends. 


Monday saw me back at work, and in the throes of a nasty new years cold... A week later I'm feeling human once again, and can actually breathe through my now for the first time in a week! I'm still trying to shrug of the last lingering effects, but I think I'll be ready for a slow run by Thursday.
In the meantime I think I need to take a couple of evening walks or slow jogs from home (in my FiveFingers!), to clear my lungs and purge the remaining bugs before they can take hold again. I've already missed running Bay to Bay 30km this past Sunday due to this bug, and I was hoping to have those 30km behind me before I tackle Red Hill Classic (36.2km) next weekend (23rd Jan). Oh well, I guess I'll just be making full use of the very generous cut-off and have a slow, enjoyable run out in Kommetjie!


This coming weekend is a nice warm-up - Hohenort 15km. Hilly route through Claremont, Newlands, Bishops Court, it includes the business-end of Southern Cross Drive (Two Oceans Half) and a few other 'little hills'. Always a fun event!
