"Good things come slow – especially in distance running”
Bill Dellinger

This week was meant to be a big one. It started off well with a 9km and then a 25km midweek run up Mt Coot Tha which involved a 1.7km steady climb. (Similar to running up ngauranga gorge for those who know Wellington)
That was tough, Comrades has 5 big ones that are all longer than that with Fields hill lasting 3.2km!
Then by wednesday I was starting to get sore. I had an easy wednesday and thursday but come long run time on friday morning I tried running but decided I needed the rest as I didn't want to aggravate the little niggles I was feeling.
Over the weekend I could and Should have trained but I have taken it easy. After 3 hard weeks maybe the rest could be good and I need to put together another 2-3 tough weeks and do a 60km run in May. Back to work...

You're doing good Sanjay... man, I liked your story about RE: the Canberra experience... so, now you made me curious: what is the toilette procedure?! LOL! (let me know).

Hey, by the way, thanks for letting me run with you man, after looking at your trajectory of running, I've been honoured to run next to you! :)

So, what about next Monday again? :)... I hope you're not feeling like doing other 50k, 'cos then I'll be just cheering you up (in my thoughts) hahah...

You have fun man, take care, God bless you and wifey :)

Once more, thanks!
