Someone once told me that no-one, whilst on their death bed, ever said “I wish I spent more time at work”. No way I would ever say that because it feels like I live at work-and while I love it, I am getting tired of bumping into friends only for them to say “Wow, you look exhausted”.
I stopped running for about a week because the PF in my left foot was getting bad and I was struggling every day with the pain (and I didn’t have any motivation or time). The time off has worked and I am feeling very little pain- though have another night in heels tomorrow night might ruin that for me.
Vic and I have been kayaking A LOT- which has resulted in her wearing a large divot in her ar5e cheek which bled.
Fortunately I have enough padding to ensure that this never happens to me after 5 hours in the kayak- while Vic was sitting on her life jacket to ease the pain, I was sitting very comfortable.
Anyway, I am going to pull out of Two Bays- no way I can push it from my little 10km run now into a 28km in about 6 weeks without a world of hurt.
I have been continuing my efforts to convince Vic to downgrade from the full marathon to the half- after we paddled 40km on Monday in 5 hours- meaning we will take over 10 hours to complete the first and second days. The half would actually be enjoyable.

Sounds like wise thoughts to me. We do have to realize our limitations and actually try and enjoy what we are doing.

You’ll have more fun if you do what is more achieveable, no point flogging yourself and hating it.
2 Bays has sold out and there are stacks of people on the waiting list, you will make someones Christmas. I am volunteering now, I am in charge of a Ute full of water.

I agree with Em, that woman is sensible
