5 More Days

… and the countdown continues…..

It is 5 more days to when the wife and I make our way to the airport.

After doing some packing today, I decided to go for a run.  A looooong one.  I filled up the Adidas running bladder…. ok, before you start getting any ideas…. this is what it looks like…..

… and I went a running.

I just went into running mode and I just ran and ran.  There were a couple of times when I actually thought of only doing two laps instead of three, but I just pushed myself and I did eventually complete the three.  The right knee was starting to ache a little but after I changed my running style a bit, it was back to normal.

Another good thing that came out of this run was that I completed 15 km and still felt good at the end.  I just have to keep at it and yeah.. I managed to break the 10 km wall that I constantly faced.  I broke the wall last week when I managed to go 12 km, but today, I added another 3 km to that.  The last 12 km run, I ended with two aching knees but this time round, with my trusty knee braces that I picked up from the pharmacy the other day, all felt good.

So, a pat on my back to encourage myself, and a good night’s sleep, here I come!
