"The world meets nobody halfway,
if you want it you gotta take it"
Linc Hawk, Over The Top
This week has seen me return back to New Zealand for my Grandfather's funeral. Returning to the hills of Wellington has made me realise that whilst the 90km of Comrades is going to be hard enough, the big 5 hills and many many smaller ones are going to kill me! It will require a lot of fitness and strength to be able to survive let alone run swiftly. At least I managed to do a few more kms this week even though I wasn't feeling so great. Wednesday I ran my favourite, up Ngauranga gorge, and friday I started the long runs again, doing a 32km run from Wilton to Tawa and back, on friday. Sunday ended with a 20km run along the Brisbane river, which resulted in a much more consistent pace than the up and down of Wellington which saw me get slower and slower as I ran.

Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible"

congratulations on accepting the comrades challenge as not many people make this sort of commitment. as a springboks supporter and ultra marathon runner you must be certifiably insane. remember to enjoy the journey as much as the destination and also "that the road to success has many tempting parking spaces"

Hey Sanjay,
Great website that you have setup to track your progress of your training. I admire your commitment to the cause and goal. Keep up the hard work - it's an achievement in itself just to be putting in the effort that you are in preparation. Goodluck with everything over the next few weeks and I look forward to your progress.
