With a new year, it was nice to re-evaluate and set new goals. 2009 produced a good beginning before being derailed with neural pain and frustration at not knowing to handle it. After numerous specialist consultations and investigations it was up to me to deal with it, and I finally feel I now know how to handle it.
2010 is more about training consistently and reaping the rewards that brings. The 10kg I need to lose will hopefully happen as I build up and regain more intensity.
It was nice to start off with a fairly solid week. One knows one is not fit when 24km is a long run and leaves you knacked! I took it fairly easy over the weekend, but next week brings the chance to build on some decent sessions and push to the next level…
