Monday 2nd August

Weekend was not a great training one again. Did manage one gym session where I did a 5K run, and some cross training and cycling but no walking at all.

This morning however was a trip to the nurse.......So the odd vaccination/injection is recommended on a trip to Tanzania, actually by the time the nurse had finished telling me what she recommended I was feeling a bit feint!

Today she has booked me in for another 3 sessions over the coming weeks, but started gently with 5 today !!!!!!!! Wow do my arms ache now.

Note she strongly advised that I should have Rabies, as despite the low chance of a Monkey biting my rear (especially after 10 days up the mountain with no shower), I could end up like someone she knows who got stuck in the airport automatic doors with a dog, that proceeded to bite them........

So traveller be aware, dogs in airports are dangerous - more so than monkeys in trees - get your Rabies vaccination soon.

p.s. you still need to get to hospital within 24 hours or you die anyway!

more tomorrow.
