Glitches in the Matrix

[co] Glitches in the matrix... happen and I guess its all about bouncing back from them...

So hence not a post for a while... but glitch over and back on track (for now). No matter how focused we can be there is still the potential to have things fall over... sickness, new jobs... general flatness and apathy...

But its all back on track (till next time)...

So last week hit the running hard, got a good 7 hours in (plus a bit of other stuff)... which felt a good effort for me. Means today I am a little stiff and sore... but in a good way. The main reason being that giving running a kick in the ass meant hitting the concrete monster run.

Now this is a nice wee loop from Titirangi shops through Henderson and back via Scenic Drive (for those that know Auckland). Broken down it is:
a) run about an hour out,
b) then run about 30 mins up (to Scenic Drive... and if you know the Waitakere Estate driveway you are now with me), and then;
c) back to Titirangi along Scenic Drive (dodging cars) for another hour.

I think it is about 28 kms give our take someone once told me... or at least I pretend its about that... but its a good run that builds strength and mental toughness. As well it is one normally done in a group... so it ends up a little bit of a race even if you don't think it should be... but hey we are all doing it and it pushes you a lot more.

So 10 week countdown... lots more running to do... and I think a few more runs up big hills! And hopefully not too many "aberrations" along the way... at least none that last longer than 24 hours...
