Running, Running, Running and Running some more...
Hiya all,
This half ironman seems very close now.. only 6 weeks away.. I am extremely focused and can't wait for race day to be here.
Went out running with my run coach Doug this morning.. about 10kms.. and thoroughly enjoyed it. Doug talks none stop and it really does help because I listen to him talking and not to my own brain telling me that everything hurts. This is my short run for the week now.... eheheheheheheheheheh it is so funny to me that I say that.... hehahahahahahahh! Wednesday is long and slow doing around 16-18kms, not so worried about the kms on Wednesdays just to be moving for 2 hours. Then on fridays I have dropped a bike run to slide in another longer run around 12kms.
My new knee brace is taking some getting used to but I have to say the support it gives me while running is amazing and will hopefully help pull me through race day. So still doing only 3 runs per week so as not to overload the legs... and trying to fill in the other days with cycling.
I can't wait till everyone is here... very much looking forward to the finishing chute family and friends cheering.. wooooohoooooo!

Getting the issues sorted now before its too late!
Well its been a while since my last confession.. Not that I have been sitting on my laurels.. definately not! I have been running and riding consistently. I did a 16km run on Saturday and felt really good afterwards.. Seems sereal to me to be able to say that. I am feeling really confident about Busso now... Everyones ticket is booked and I can't wait to see everyone.. The house is going to be bursting at the seams!.
Now I have had some knee issues since doing the hills runs and some beach work.. So this week I have been back to the Physio, for rub downs, stretching and acupuncture (sure thats not how to spell it).. Off to get a knee brace to stop my petela (spelling????) from tracking out and back to the podiatrist next week.. I am again doing physio exercises to stregthen my inside leg muscles 3 x times per day and taking a bucket of vitimins.. No panic I am still all good for Busso, just would rather get these things sorted now than to let things get out of hand and not be able to run on the day!

Hills training till I cried....
With only 9 weeks till the half... blind panic is setting in big time.. I have got myself the services of a running coach.. I will be doing hills training with him once a week to build up fitness and lung power until the half.. Last night we ran a km hills track... Who knew our town had some big killer hills.... not me... I did surprise myself tho by finishing the session.. Got to the top of the biggest hill and burst into sobbing uncontrollable tears.. But did manage to get the stress out of my brain for an hour.. So I feel empowered... I can run hills.. and the crazy thing... I am going again monday morning willingly. Clearly have some screws loose!
