Re: Week 7
Strapping is the tape the physiotherapist use when you have an injury like shin splints. Does that explain it?

Re: Week 7
Finished week 7. Feel really good. Am a bit tired after today's run. My left shin is quite sore though. Will go to the physio and get it strapped. Will need to get good running shoes and some orthotic insoles. The shoes i run with are more for walking than running.

Re: Thought 3 mins was going to kill me!
Good job. Remember not to think too much ahead with your runs. That can mess with your mind a bit. Keep pacing yourself and slowdown when you need to. You can do it. Kia kaha (Be strong).

Re: Week 6
Kia kaha is a great word. When the Maori say it they really say it with passion. Like KIA KAHA. By the way if any of you come to NZ pop on into Christchurch we could go for a run in hagley or in the port hills.

Re: Week 6
Arrrr. Mother Nature has thrown a major curve ball. There is snow from here to Timbuktu. Not literally of course. Ice on the paths. No way am I going to run with the paths like this. There will be hidden pot holes not risking my body now. Will do it tomorrow at hagley park.

Re: Week 6
Great news. I said at the beginning that one of my goals is to get into outward bound course via Kathmandu. I was short listed but did not get The full scholoship. However outward bound will give me $1000 towards it

Re: Week 6
What dreaded week? I'm finding it easy. Despite the weather. Weather is clearing up was able to run yesterday. Will be going to hagley park tomorrow though. Need a much more smoother surface. The foot paths were more uneven because of the flooding. My shins were sore because of the paths, so need so...
