January done and dusted.

I can’t believe the 1st month of 2011 is already something of the past. It was a busy month which obviously helped the time to move along so quickly.

Running wise it was a very good month for me. I started it with the 80km (50miles) Odyssey Ultra and finished it with a 35.5km (22miles) long run yesterday. My total for January is 301.5km (187.3miles). I’m very happy with that.

I also got some new road shoes last week.


For those who might wonder, yes, I did do this to them the moment I got home...


On the work front I am moving to a new project at a different customer. I’ll start there on 15 Feb and I’m looking forward to a new and different challenge. When I get to my new desk on 15 Feb this will be one of the first items to “mark my new spot”. Thanks Molly!


February 2011 awaits! May it be a good month for all!

    Hey, we have the same shoes, I think! You'll be replacing yours a bit sooner than I have to! :) My mileage for January is about 1/3 of yours...and still good for me. Here's to a great February!

    Nice customization of the shoe - quite the cobbler you are Johann! Is that a hotspot you always accommodate?

    Excellent January and it's looking like February is going to bring you new adventures...what more could you ask for? Well, aside from trying to keep your new road shoes unscathed, perhaps. :)

    I cut my shoes like that where I find I have some hot spots. These shoes have kept me injury free for many years so I cut off any cosmetic parts I can feel against my feet. I don't know why they always have to change a good model shoe. I shape them back to the original.:)

    Impressive amount of miles! I did wonder if you immediately "fixed" your new shoes. I started with a brand new pair of shoes today too!

    Those are pretty big numbers. Impressive! They'll make Comrades a breeze. (if almost 100k can ever be a breeze)
