I didn't even go as far as to enlist the marshals (but then again I'm not running in extra cold weather) but I guess knowing that I'm raising money for a good cause is keeping me ticking over - PLUS someone from work is running his first Comrades so need to keep a brave face ;) Good luck to you and hope to see you at the start (or before for a power protein pre-comrades dinner) PS that invite goes out to any other Comrades runners out there, come and join us for dinner pre-race in Pietermaritzburg, send me an email or comment with MEMEME in it and I'll make sure we have enough chairs at the dinner table!!

I am struggling with my training for Big C #2. Last year I was a ball of energy, had motivation coming out of my ears. I run 67 km in a lonely park by mylonesome. I ran in -37degrees C. I was that pumped. This year I have nothing. So I went looking for tough love got some training buddies who are realy marshals, they take no prisoners and have no mercy. If the appt is at 5: am 10 min miles it is...I have not gotten my motivation back but I am putting in the training and soon I should be at the start line of the big C. Add to that I have hard glute issues sometimes I wonder if it's my body being lazy. I have not run for a month. I just got back into it and my longest have been 45 min. This is not goot for the confindence bank. So all you virgin big Cs bottle your motivation and share it or save it for next year Hey Candice, I hear you.
