A run with John - Afton

Goodevening readers!! Well crunch time is here, time to train as hard as we can wilst still resting when we can, Janelle and I have literally 32 days to our run, are we scared?? I know I am. Actually I'm feeling a bit of almost every emotion out there it seems, but I keep being told that I will be fine so I'm doing my best to keep sane! This past Sunday the 26th Jen and I took our run south, to the Glenmore Reservoir. I have never been there before it was beautiful despite the fact it was a tad nippy and the snow decided to migrate into my shoes, which made for a very challenging run. In total that day Jen and I went a whopping 16.5 kilometers in just over 2 hours.
Tonight I arrived a bit late to the Tech Shop only to get there and find everyone had already left... as I walked back outside who do I see standing at the corner... JOHN!! My long lost trainer! I haven't seen John for about 3 weeks, between my extra resting and John's previous engagements, I thought I would end up not seeing him before I left for Prague! So off we went together insearch of our group only to find them and take off our own way anyways. Tonight we ran a sweet 8 kilometers in 52 minutes, WOO that was fast! Well I'm off to domestically engineer my apartment, I'll catch ya next week, same place ;)
Don't forget to keep watching for Janelle's posts from Russia They are a whole eleven hours ahead of us so her days vary from time to time. Now I leave you with a fantastic picture Jen took of me on Sunday.
