Recovery run

I had to get the legs moving again and went for a chill (almost) 6km at my work’s running club. I stuck by one of my friends that didn’t know the route that well and usually did shorter distances. Good thing too. The spirit is willing but the flesh weak.

I’ll kick it into high gear tomorrow.

About:Andy

Location:Pretoria Gauteng South Africa

I've never really been much of an athlete. Ever since school, I was a bit of an IT geek. I did sports here and there, but I was always at the back of the pack gasping for air. I started mountain biking in 2006 and have since completed a few mtb marathons and a 90km road race or two... on the mtb. I got into multi-sport events at the end of '07 and have since completed a couple of Adventure Races and Sprint-Triathlons. My goal for 2008 was to keep a steady training programme going, without getting sick in winter. Well that didn't happen. I was down with the flue, TWICE!! So my ambitions of doing a half-ironman early in 2009 flew right out the window. I still have to do an Olympic distance triathlon, so I'll try to get one below my belt early in 2009. My favorite sports include: cycling, running, swimming, adventure racing, triathlons, rowing, golf and hiking.
