Back to doing the walks in the evening ... I did one more yesterday (Tuesday) after work just to Yaya. Quite brisk, so much so that I was out of breath. I wonder how it would feel to run up Valley Road - it's quite steep.
The walk was pretty good for the muscles that were screaming 'Stretch me, please, stretch me!!!!!'
Tomorrow, Thursday morning, I do a warm up run and wait for Ndakaini come Saturday. I register on Friday. Now is to have my arsenal ready - clean biker, change of clothes, water bottle, glucose, fare, watch, clean shoes, and a kick-ass frame of mind.
As I was climbing Valley Road, George Karimi's description of Ndakaini kept ringing in my mind, 'there are two killer-hills in Ndakaini...'Everyone who's been to Ndakaini they are hills like they have never seen; that they can't even find the words to describe them short of 'hills ordered from hell!'
The only hill am familiar with is the one going to Uthiru ... if Ndakaini is tougher, steeper etc etc, I am game.
PS.
The Standard Chartered marathon banner is here, finally. I see a sub 2hr beckoning...
