"Men, today we die a little." - Emil Zatopek at the start of the 1956 Olympic Marathon.
You may have noticed that Aki has been picking up form again recently, and with patience and persistence in her training, will start to challenge the rest of us. Aki is tenacious, so will be very hard to shake for those of us who run around the 20 minute mark for 5k.
Aki has a devastating final sprint too, as she demonstrated again yesterday. Although it must be said, everyone can out-sprint Flashdrake at the end of a race!
On the road again... I am just easing into it, a few km each day. But it is mightily cold outside! This Wednesday should be fun if the forecast is correct; snow with a range of zero to 5 for the city, which makes it -3 to 2 here in Holt. Brrrr.
Aki finishing the Canberra Half Marathon. Her best times are at Telopea Park. I ran Telopea last year and the course is a bit dodgy: my time was a lot faster than I thought I was running: the Telopea course is not accredited so is likely to be short. No such problem with Cross Country Club courses though; they are never short!
