i'm happy i managed to break the 10 minute barrier finally. 9:47 for 2.4km. a personal achievement that i'm proud of. thursday was quite shit. but all's good.

next week will be spent on an island where i stayed for the first 2 months of my ns life. wish me luck.

3 weeks down, with field camp up next and i would have reached the halfway mark. i have no idea whether to push on after that. many before me have done so and survived. if any one doesn't know, i'm actually a pretty proud person. the knowledge that so many have gone through what i may go through in the future only serves to act as a reluctant motivation. but part of me is calling out, wanting to give it up. 

its only 2 years they say, but 2 years can be a long time. 

for now, i'll just have to suck my thumb and hope things turn out smoothly.
