32 days to go

Only 32 days left until NDC 2012. S#@T.

I'm sure every runner has her/his off days or even an off week. I hate it when that happens, especially when I have 3 weeks of serious training to get through. But, today is a new day!
and I started off on the right foot. 1h gym at the University of Stellenbosch Bio and a short run after that.
Tonight I'll make up for no running yesterday. I'm going to take my backpack for a 2 h run in the mountains.
so all good, not a lost cause yet!

I know by now what to do if I don't feel like running, know the drill......Just put on those running shoes and go for it. I might find my rythm after 10min or 20min or 30min....but I know I will find it eventually.

Ok, enough of the semi negative state I'm in at the moment.

In a month's time, I'm off to Namibia for my first adventure of 2012!!!!!

Can't wait to meet the rest of the runners and to make new friends. After each day, the campsite looks like a war zone. People lying everywhere, some waiting for Amy to fix their feet, some stuffing their faces with fabulous cuizine (aka freeze dried meals) and some just gratefull that they survived yet another day.

Why run for 5 days in the desert?

Don't have a clear answer on that one yet.
