Met with Marko today to discuss my 9 week training plan from here until WOC. Some interesting sessions to look forward to.
Also managed to contact the running club in Klerksdorp (where I am being forced to go for 3 weeks just before I leave). They apparently have access to a track so they are going to let me know when it is available to use and if the lights are on in the mornings.
Coughing a little bit and didn't stop running while coughing... needless to say I didn't get a high enough lift on the bumpy pavement and took a dive on the tar. Pretty impressive lacerations on my palms and knees...
