2 August 2010
Cant believe were in August allready. another 28 days till
my birthday, whopee. Didnt do any sports yesterday. wanted
to rather rest and prepare for the long flight to Dublin.
And yes it was long. Flight problems delayed my flights by
2 hours, which resulted in me barely making my connecting flight
to Dublin. Heathrow security sux. Finger prints / photos /
questions and I wasnt even staying in their country.
Anywhoo , managed to do a 44 min run tonight in Dublin. Ran
along the grand canal, then down passed Lansdowne Road (Rugby
stadium) and back passed Marion square. Garmin say 7.5km.
I need to do at least 20km on saturday. Hopefully wont get too
lost in Dublin.

Its been a bit of a boring week, mostly did treadmill running at the gym.
Managed to run a nice 20km run this morning. 1h: 45 min. This was my
first 20km without any stopping or walking.
I also managed to finally calibrate my garmin watch and foot pod. Its
been out by about 10%.
Off to Dublin tomorrow evening. Packed in my running shoes and clothes.

1:h 30 min cycle ride this morning. Simple flat ride.
Managed to join a fairly biggish group of cyclist. Rode
to Simonstown along the coast. Weather was great, a little
cold to start but warmed up I can feel im slowly getting
fitter but theres still a lot of work to do.

16km run this morning, 1h 21min, 2 minutes faster than last week.
been a busy week at work, managed to get in 3 x 40 minute sessions
at the gym. 26th September is the day Ive chosen for my first
marathon. This is the day of the Cape Town City Marathon. I believe
its one of the better marathons to do , especially for a novice.
No idea of what time to go for, just hoping to finish. I will need
to increase my long runs to over 20km in order to get closer to
the marathon distance.

Did a short 30 min run at the gym last night followed by 5 mins
of rowing and a few weights.
I finally managed to get in my 15km run this morning.It was a little
cold but manageable. The last part was quite tough with some very
steep uphills as well as steep downhills. I must measure the distance
some time, but im guessing its more towards the 16km mark. Time taken
1:23:03. I didnt stop once and felt good at the end. Ive never completed
a half marathon without stopping. If I can keep this up I definately think
I should be able to make the comrades next year.
Tomorrow is cycling day, weather permitting I would like to do a 2 hour ride
of rowing and a few weights.
