Aims for June 2012 to 2013
Well, I'm writing this in January. Last June I trained very well for Comrades then was concussed and had some face bones broken in a motor accident. 
Don't be in another accident
Run a second Comrades (this year is 'Up')
The minimal running is going very well, but I must still strive to 'Run more like a Kenyan'

Aims for June 2011 to 2012
Run more like a Kenyan! Better style, more minimal shoes and barefoot ✔
Run the Comrades 'down run' ✗
Hike up Mount Kilimanjaro ✗
Trail running ✔, plyometric runs ✗, trackwork, ✔
39m 10k ✗, 3h20m marathon ✔, barefoot 21.1k ✗
Improve my swimming (midmar mile)

I'm well though, and my legs are fine! I'm sitting here now watching others doing it. What a lot or training for nothing! However, I'm going to choose another race soon to concentrate my efforts on. All the best, Matt"
