- Alone again!
But with the good memories of all the friendly help I got in Adelaide :-)

It came at a very crucial moment where I had been pushing myself too hard.
It is due to their friendship that the run is back to its usual good state
again!


The short term aim is to make sure I stay within limits and don?t make the
previous mistake of powering on despite clear body signals to slow down.
So I can keep enjoying the Run - even now after 15000km :-)


14. December tip:
Respect the body.
Never loose sight of that the training should be good for you.
Even in extreme distance competitions I believe strongly in enjoying the
strength & endurance of the body - yet not to go beyond what it invites
you to do (often its more than the mind expects!).

- That way you will benefit from less injuries and more running pleasure
:-)
