Kepler Challenge 2012 - Training

With the support of two wonderful friends, I have decided to embark on another incredible adventure.  The three of us are going to run the Kepler Challenge on December 2, 2012, http://www.keplerchallenge.co.nz/content/asics-kepler-challenge.  This marathon will take place in Te Anau, South Island, NZ, on a small island which is sandwiched between Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri, this 60 kilometre circuit is part of the Te-Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, which encompasses four national parks and almost 10% of New Zealand’s total land area.  http://www.newzealand.com/int/article/kepler-track/
