running the race!

I managed to do the run on Sunday, only made the decision on Saturday morning when I tested to see if my trainer would fit on my foot. Most of the swelling had gone down so I strapped it up well and ran.
The race was great, very weird really running a organised race in Africa. It was such a tough race as most of it was on a gradual hill which took its toll after a while and then the hot sun came out at 8am so the last 45 mins of the race where hot.
My aim was the finish the race which I did and only walked for about 3 mins throughout the race, normally at the top of the hills! I completed it in 1 hour 24 min, not record beating, well maybe one of the slowest times but I did it and enjoyed it which is the main thing. Afterward we watched the marathon winner cross the line. After he pasted the crowd got excited and came on the the road and true Ugandan style the police went at them all the batons and sticks, smacking them over the head! Nice!

My foot is doing well now, back to normal size, no pain just a good scab to pick at!!
This week has not gone that well as my laptop screen has broken so it needs to go back to the UK to get fixed, it doesn't look like I will get it back until after Christmas which is so frustrating as I have big deadlines before Christmas. So I am now relying on the desk top at the office which is dependent on power, not great here! So I am making my new home at the internet cafe! Oh well!!

Going to try some yoga tonight with a friend, not sure I will be able to move tomorrow!!
