It's been a relatively easy week for me, and i just focused on recovering whilst not losing too much time on the road. Recovery is essential in any training programme. If you don't slow down, you injure yourself.
Next two weeks i will be starting night shift, this means I have time in the day to run. I am planning to increase my running mileage and time on the trail again, and i will be exploring the glasshouse mountain region which i still know so little about. Am excited to see how far i can go this time.
Finally my lovely scooter - Sasha has found a buyer. I have been having this girl for about 2 years as a student, riding it whenever i went, groceries, clinic, hospital, church, friend's place etc. She has definitely been the most trusted companion for me. I just hope the new buyer will treat her with care and respect that she deserves.
Easter is just around the corner. Whilst we should live each day as if it's Easter, this period does bring with it a certain kind of soberness and quietness, with renewed attitude and intimacy with Jesus. I am once again reminded by Jesus's word: 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.' (Matt 16:24). New living translation said it this way: 'you must turn from your selfish ways and take up your cross and follow me.'
'Dear Lord, you know this disease of selfishness and self-centredness that are so ingrained in me. Open my eyes to see what i cannot see on my own, and turn my heart toward your truth and your eternal Kingdom. Grant me the strength to overcome that which can be overcome, and surrender that which can only be surrendered. In Jesus' name. Amen.'
