THINKING OF OTHERS

Over the last couple of years I have been lucky enough not to have had any serious injuries, in fact I have run every day for the last 560 days!!! I here you guy saying, but Coach you tell us to rest, well guys I do rest, on a Friday I only run 4-8km easy and then other days if I'm tired or not feeling well I will leave a session or a long run and only run an easy 4-8km. I know that if I don't run I feel guilty if I see someone else out there running...

Now I have a couple of friends who can't run, who have been hit by injury or illness and this last weekend I was thinking about them as I took to the mountains...

We have Ryan Sands, who after being sick and not finishing his last race (the one Down Under) was keen too get training again and... after doing an ankle in, is stuck inside for a bit...

 Training on the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill

While me, I've been seen on the mountain's about his house in Hout Bay:

This one is for you Ryan!

The sun was out after a little rain and after running through a waterfall I look back and took a picture of the others I had just run past...

Perfect day on the mountain.

Wait, I happen to know that Ryan has also gotten his feet wet while running this last week.... Dawn saw him Aqua jogging...

With Monday a public holiday I met a couple of friends and we took off round the mountain... This run was for another friend who is sick and has been for a long time now, so for her it was a long run, what is 3 hours and 1000+ meters climb between friends!!!

The top of Kasteels...

It was youth day holiday, so I took the kids with me...

I wish by my running I could make other people fit, but it doesn't happen like that... At least they know I'm out there doing it for them, putting in the hard / high miles, Hope you guys will run a couple for me the day I can't!
