Happy Spring! First day and already my flowers are popping up to mid-April heights.
A perfect day for Runners and Ducks although there was one skunk sighting. The Spring showers made this morning’s run so much easier. Twenty miles around the dojo, gave Linda a 1 hour head start so we could get used to being inside our own heads when the going gets tough. Included in the run was over 2 hours of challenging work, I came through just fine indeed, and so did she.
I’d felt a little twinge in my right hammy while abed last night and actually considered taking today off, especially given the nature of the workout. But then came the email from Killer Coach with just the right words to get me out and going. I can’t say enough good things about this cat. Or his son.
Peter vd Westhuizen will be racing at the Yellow Pages meet in Stellenbosch, South Africa tonight. The Yellow Pages is a series of meets that prep their very best athletes for Olympic team selection. Stellenbosch also produces some of the finest wines in the country. Race well and raise a toast Mate!
Peter does most all of his speed work on this beautiful grass track. Can you imagine? He’s looking mighty lean and fit and we are hoping the rainbow in the background portends the obvious.
And here he is at last October’s Swamp Stomp 8K Cajun Festival. Peter is one Good Mate no matter where in the world he is training or racing!
