rogerdogerMy little Elana called today from Thailand. She wanted to call yesterday to wish me happy valentine's day, but with the time difference it didn't work out for her. Anyway nice to hear from her today, she sounded in good spirits and was having fun and thankful that Id recommended Ko Lak, the amazing lake I went to a couple of years ago.
Agh my legs hurt. As usual I want things to happen now. nearly 3 weeks ago I arrived in NZ and before that I hadnt run in 6 weeks. Now here I am whizzing twice around the lake, which is still only 11km, but im breaking the one hour mark now, but I still want more!! I want the run to feel like nothing, I want it to be my warm up before a 3 hour bike, I want to run it in 40 mins like the pros. Shit the pros ran it in 40 mins after the 26km bike! Ah well I am pleased I guess. Just keep on building.
I am also pleased with progress today on the mapping. Talking a bit more with Linda the local graphic designer and she has pointed me more in the right direction. I also located a company that does Illustrator training up in Auckland. Its a one day course for the basic, but it would give me a good start. Although I think Id do better with a one on one with Linda, if she'll do it. Even better I located the company that produced a really nice tourist map for Rotorua. The guy emailed me right back when I made an inquiry to find out if it was them that produced the map, but when I told him what I was after, some one on one training, he didn't reply. Doesn't mean its dead, since i did send it late in the day. If I could get with this guy that could be really useful.
Did nothing on the van today! Must do better tomorrow.
