I've been travelling quite a bit in 2012. 9 trips within the first half of this year alone and I'll be in New York in 6 weeks for the ING New York Marathon on November 4. Needless to say, I've been incredibly busy over the last few months training for the race - I've been making more of an effort to have early nights, lay off the alcohol, watch my diet and hydration, albeit with a few exceptions here and there, but those exceptions are stories in themselves, stories for another day and another time:) I foresee the next 4 weeks getting a little more intense as I ramp up the mileage further before I taper off in the final 2 weeks. I've managed to clock 70km in a week, and my last long run was 30km in 2hr50mins. I reckon that's a pretty decent time, considering Singapore's hot weather, and also considering that I spent the previous afternoon learning how to play beach volleyball...
And yes, I know I've been behind on my posts, in particular writing about my time in East/Central Africa and spending my 25th birthday in the DR Congo. I'll try to come up with a trip report on that soon, but in any case, here's what I've done so far, and what I will be doing:
