Comrades Inspiration

From Lauren: Only three days out from the 2012 Comrades Marathon. Here is some inspiration for those running and an explanation for those not. I’m not sure where this comes from but I thought I would share it with you: It begins at the break of a new day, that one day each year, where [...]

Track your Comrade 2012!

The “Trans-natal fun run” and a very worthy cause

Hi there, As you probably know, I am training for my 5th Comrades. I will run 90km between Pietermaritzburg and Durban as part of what they call “The Ultimate Human Race”.
