Namibian Viking

I cannot believe my unfortune… I have been flat out in bed during the weekend. A tummy bug has put a dent in my preparations!

I guess I should be careful what I wish for, a couple of weeks ago I told some friends it would be good if I could loose a couple of kg before the race, so that I could race lighter. Well mission accomplished, but not really the way I planned it.

I am now less then two weeks away from the race and I can not eat much, and definitely not run. Well from here on it can only gets better I think… Trying to stay positive at the moment is not the easiest. I have trained harder then last year, and I am in better shape, but something like this I had not planned for. I usually feel strong and able and today when I got the tube into work I felt that even that was a struggle!

Watch this space, the race is getting close, and I am leaving on Friday!

Any tips, help or thoughts along the way are much appreciated.
