Comrades countdown

206 days, 19 hours and 27 minutes...
Mmm...

Anyone that has ever experienced the event that is called the Comrades marathon will know that it is something that, somehow, takes hold of your soul. The feeling bubbles in your blood, the spirit becomes part of your heartbeat, the memory of elation gives you instant goosebumps... And now it is that time of year to commit or decide, to start the planning, to write up the training plans, to get jumpy with excitement, to find yourself suddenly smiling without reason and then remember... :)

Yesterday I managed to run 3km without needing a walk break. Today my legs feel like they ran 21km. I have a almost 3 month old baby, I am starting (hopefully!) to specialise in January, I have a family and a lot of family commitments, I do about 90-100 hours of overtime work every month, I will be working 2 out of 4 weekends...
BUT...
Oh, how my heart yearns to commit!!!
