Only 2 more sleeps and I will be standing at another start line for 2016. Excitement setting in after recovering from the travelling. The disadvantage of living in a country town giving me the additional travel time.

Spending this morning checking out the start line and going for a good long walk through the beautiful scenic Rotorua Redwoods. Opting for a travel recovery day of a long walk and some site seeing rather than in running clothes, just the running shoes. Perfect weather conditions making it a perfect day for being a tourist still whilst stretching the legs. Spending the morning experiencing the historical culture at “The Living Maori Village” and appreciating the history behind the Geysers and Maori culture. Then an amazing afternoon walking the trails through “Waimangu Volcanic Valley”. So I believe I covered many kilometres feeling refreshed and pre race training session successful. :-).

 

Tomorrow between the expo, race pack pick up, race briefing and briefing my crew man (hubby Phil) of race plan and requirements it will be a full pre race day.  The race will have live tracking so even without internet for Facebook updating I won’t be able to hide. So with race bib number 95 you may track me down.

What ever the outcome I will cross that finishing line with a smile.

Love My Running 🙂
