Aaron...
Just Chris and I out for our Saturday morning run this week with Jesse away in Taupo and John struck down with a touch of sciatica. We took on the Tuki loop, 35.2km return to Johns house and we did it in 2hrs48mins which I think we were both pretty stoked about. Must say the run hurt a bit on Saturday in my feet, ankles and knees, its a long way on the roads and we have had the "luxury" of doing a fair bit off road on the long runs so this was new for us. Recovered really quickly though and I felt pretty good on Saturday evening and again on Sunday which I was pleased about. Went for a quick run with Chris again on Sunday through the tracks on Tannui reserve which was good to run out the legs after Saturday. 32 days to go and I think we are looking OK, another couple of long runs over the next couple of weeks before we start tapering back and hopefully she will be all good on the day.
