Back on the road running

I haven't run since doing the Rhodes trail run 12th July, decided that I had to rest and recover as I did Rhodes 52km only 4 weeks after Comrades but I wanted to try and keep up fitness, with doing walk the talk this gave me a good oppurtunity to do some walk training.

Last night I went to Time trials at the running club, met up with Maureen and off we went for a leisurely 8k run, it went very well considering I haven't run in a while it was also warmer that it has been lately. When we got back to the club house we met Belinda who was still going to walk down to the 6k turn around which is about 2k from the club house so we decided to join her and did another 4k. I felt quite good I was expecting to battle a bit we have a couple of steep hills on the route and I managed to get up them ok.

Kim I have heard that the comrades committee has confirmed that it will be a down run next year May 24th.

Tonight I'm going to gym my daughter will go with me. She is running the Spar Ladies race at the end of August with her tennis team from school so she needs to do some training.

The girls I run with are busy planning our next adventure, nothing as strenuous as the past adventures of this year...  we are going to the Spa for the day....  a whole day of pampering....  lovely.

Be good

Will the Comrades still be in sequence after next year: Wasn't it 2010 they wanted to change? Haven't thought much abou tit recently as have too many other things to sort out. Thanks for the input though, much appreciated. Will you be doing it again over the next few years?' added 3rd Aug 2008
