117 Days to go

After an EPIC weekend of training.........EPIC......as in THE WORST EVER training weekend of the year. Or even last year. It was just one of those weekends were I could not get my feet moving. Everything was sore - legs, feet, .....just about my whole body.

That might be due to the fact that I had a EPIC COOL training weekend the previous one. 50km of running in Table Mountain. From Camps Bay to Kalkbay. 11hrs later......

So that training run came back and bite me in the back side this weekend. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I see this past weekend as "hitting rock bottom" and it can only get better from here onwards.

With only 117 days to go, there is no more time for bad training weekends. IT IS SOMETHING OF THE PAST. punt klaar punt

On Friday I paid the balance of the entry fee for The Sahara Race end of October - and suddenly it hit me. This is it!!!!!! Only 4 months to go 'till the biggest running event of my life. Faaarrrkkkk!!!!!

There are still so much to do - Training - KIT - FOOD.


Training.........ignoring this weekend's EPIC FAIL......is going according to plan.
It's a new week, with new goals. The goal - TO follow my training program to the T.
No "I'm not in the mood to do speed work" - Just do it. Don't stop when tired, stop when done. Don't stop when tired, stop when done. Don't stop when tired, stop when done............Ja Ja, this is me talking to myself.

KIT.......got almost everthing I need for the race. A few mandatory are still missing, but nothing that a bit of online shopping can't fix.

FOOD........alot.


Training for the Sahara Race, is a journey....... A journey I'm planning to enjoy every km of the way.
