One step at a time

Quickly checking in.

We are about to go on (probably the last) family holiday by flying to Peru.

Amongst other things, we'll be trekking up to Machu Picchu. With greater or lesser success we have all been increasing our fitness levels.
By now I have managed to average somewhere around 40ks a week. Last week I got up to 18ks in one hit including a number of times up and down Reabold Hill.
Can't say I'm back to where I would want to be, but hey, it's not a race.
And it definitely won't be in the Andes. The altitude will probably do us in at first and more than one step after the other, slowly, slowly, won't work.
Over and out. More when we're back at the beginning of August.

Hey, still here!

Logging in to comment on Epi's last post has prompted me to post again. Had to rummage and look for the login details first though.

The Four Seasons at Wailea in Maui is indeed beyond this world. Somewhere someone said that if there is a heaven, it is hopefully managed by Four Seasons. I agree.
And so, if anyone ever has an injury, it should also be looked after by someone from Four Seasons. Ok, I'll stop waxing lyrical, it's getting pathetic.

Not much happening on the running front with me. I do try to get out three times a week, ride the bike occasionally, go to the gym etc. and the lack of exercise still shows.
Still better than my last post though, down to 89kgs! Yeah! Ehm.... Can't shake those pesky twins I carry around with me constantly.

Anyway, still here. Will check in occasionally.
