Have I mentioned that I have a marathon coming up?!
In two weeks I'll run my 4th marathon in Wanganui. I've been building my cardio fitness through weekly swims at Moana pool, Monday night rides with the Cycle World ladies, and looooong runs around Dunedin.

A few weeks ago, my 18-mile route took me to the south end of Dunedin, past Tomahawk Lagoon, and up a wee track to the Soldiers' Monument.
These sheep were unfazed by my presence.
This past weekend I did a 20-mile out-and-back to Port Chalmers. I saw great views of the peninsula!
Four-hour solo runs aren't too shabby on roads like this:
No more long runs until race day! So, maybe next week I'll go for a long day walk or overnight tramping trip to Port Craig hut. I enjoy the time away from thesis work and there's still a lot of New Zealand to see before I leave!
