Too few days

So I haven't done this in a while, but considering the lack of time left I think I need to start blogging again. I had a rather busy holiday, drove 1500km down to Cape Town from Pretoria, spent 2 days (including christmas) with my family in Robertson, drove 700km to the Orange river on boxing day and then spent 5 fantastic days paddling down the river. Drove back to Cape Town, spent a few days with friends and then drove back to Pretoria. In that time I consumed more stuff that is bad for me than I think I have the entire preceding year...

Getting back to it has been pretty tough, especially considering that I was sick late November, then I travelled to New Zealand for a week early December, then 2 weeks back at it and then away on the previously mentioned holiday. I feel in bad shape :( and then there the heat and the humidity that really don't help either.

So from today on in 76 days to go, I'm going to try to be a lot stricter about what I eat and drink again, and I'll try to step up my pace a little, but mainly the distance... a lot.

I had intended running my first 10km of the year today, but decided against it last night cause if I'm honest with myself I'm not feeling well enough to run a 10.

But so far this month I've run 36 km, which is alright, but pretty shappy by last years standards... I'm gonna have to pull something out the hat if I wanna do this, but as much as the mind is willing... the body isn't really :(
