"No one has ever drowned in sweat"
Lou Holtz
As the going gets tough, I have just had to get it going. This has been my first full on training week in some time, finally stepping up my training back to where it should be. I always feel when you are doing 100km+ per week you start to get fit pretty quickly. However by this weekend my body has been knacked and just wants to rest!
Thanks for the messages of support, they certainly help to motivate me in the early mornings when I don't want to get out of bed. I am happy the longer runs have stepped back up in distance, but it is the run the next day that is harder when the body is still stiff and trying to recover!

Hey Sanjay
Brett's dad - Trevor - here.I was in SA earlier in the year - and was lucky enough to drive over a good part of the comrades course - very testing - but a fabulous event/experience. You'll really need to get in heaps of KM's - including hills (up/down) to be ready.
I have some good friends in SA who have run lots of Comrades - they'd be happy to adivse you if local help ever needed. Regards TV
