I have been home now for a week and a half and I am very pleased to say that I feel as if I am on the road to recovery and back to my usual self. After some blood tests, 2 visits to the doctor and a very strong course of medication to clear any and every bug that might be living inside of me, I am back into training full time for the marathon world Champs in Portugal. My excitement about the world champs grows each and everyday in training as I feel myself improving and getting into good form again.

Ant Stott is up in Joburg to train with me this week. Our K2 is going really nicely so I am very excited about our chances. Its been great to have someone to train with everyday as it definately helps to increase the intensity level of training.

Spring is finally here, its been 28 degrees all week and I am loving being home and training at a much higher level than I was able to earlier in the season. I feel veryhappy and super amped to get to Portugal and race my guts out! 17 more days to go!!!
