exciting times

I've completed 2 races since my last post, a 15km race in Britz and the chamberlain 10km race in pretoria.

After 3 races the one thing I really appreciated about the race in britz is that the Field was really small compared to the 2 races in Pretoria. The way the club members interacted and encouraged each other, has got me thinking of joining a running club.

The draw back of the britz race was that is started at 7am, so it was abit of a scorcher. I haven't seen heat lumps on myself like that in a while. I got trinkets, that is always the fun part trinkets, although I don't need such stuff it is cool. I need to either find my "cheap-eel-ler" watch or buy a new one. I have grown really attached to my watch, was only a R100 but I used it for the midmar mile and many other strenuous hardcore activities......for a watch. so I would be sad to lose it. The last couple of statements are a tad fluffy.

The chamberlain 10km race, eish the field was large, and I missed to see what time I had finished, but my trinket was different from the other people's trinkets who came in after an hour, so I skeem my time ws less than an hour, however it seems abit weird for me to shave of so much time of my 10kay, which makes me wonder if the race was really 10 km. either way I am pleased.

My weight/Body fat/measurement stats have remained the same which is a good thing, although slightly altered, seems to indicate that I am gaining some muscle.

Next up, half marathon, abit excited and nervous at the same time. hopefully I do well. Time to train like mad hard!
