RE: February 2012 - Base Camp
Am sitting in Adelaide airport with my thinks-it's-smart phone plugged into the wall charger and using the surprisingly free wifi access (20 metres away you can pay $5 /hr to use the same company's wired 'net access, duh) after a stonkingly debauched weekend of great food, great wine and beer and nearly too much indoor sport (no, not *that* kind of indoor sport, Hortense) but no running. A fab couple of days off, sadly now at an end - well, once I get back home late tonight that is.
I've also been given a ripper challenge. I've been promised that if when next in Adelaide (about 4 weeks hence) I pull out a 35km run I will be given not one, but two full 750ml bottles of Chimay Blue, one of my favourite (tho deadly powerful) Belgian beers.
So, what's a poor beer-addict like me to do? Train, MLCM, train!
Oh, and if you think such a run should be pretty simple for me, given my decent long runs of late, there is just one hitch - the daily temperatures here the last three days have been 37, 39 and 37 degrees Celcius. This will require some careful consideration and not a small amount of extra insanity to even attempt, as well as the use of a very large Camelbak.
The things I do for a decent beer.
