Why are holidays so short? And which silly HR consultant/manager/professional came up with 15 days of annual leave? Had a great break from work but now back to travelling, running and focusing on the task at hand...
This past week has been a great running week- 90km in 7 days, 122km in 10 days. Best block so far. Feet are slightly sore but that is to be expected. 2 day rest now and then back on the road to tackle another monster block. Looking good for another +90km week this week and an epic 10 day block of 138km. Lets hope the feet don't fall to pieces.
On another note: I've been thinking about my nutrition for the race and my mind starts wandering to "How the hell am I going to get tuna, trail mix, and canned chicken into Namibia?" After watching Border Patrol on TV, I'm a bit concerned that I may be running the race on Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem and Hammer Gels only... Hahaha. Actually, I suppose that's the normal concern on every travelling athlete's mind. Never been stopped at Customs before so, touch wood, I won't this time.
Taken a pic of the meals to be tested so here is the menu:
Nutritious... Ah, high kJ content rather... and easy to cart in my baggage. Luckily the Sossusvlei Lodge is catering for dinner. All I have to do is bring my own breakfast lunch and snacks.
All for now. Comrades runners- Tee and Horstman- take note for your Comrades meals :)
Later,
Me
