Every year brings challenges in different shapes and forms. This year with the sudden passing of a fierce competitor on the road running side, Pete van der Merwe lost his battle to cancer. With the hole Pete left in the industry we have inherited a lot of his work and I spend most weekends behind the microphone doing what we love.
But with that comes the challenges to my long runs, but on Tuesday morning I woke up and thought, those are just excuses. So I decided, I will do what it takes to get to the start line of Comrades Marathon 2024.
I did my first official training run this morning and have a long way to go to qualify, I am over weight, had a medical scare late last year and another year older, but makes it more of a challenge.
I have decided as I always do, to raise money for a charity again this year, I don't want my suffering to be in vain if it can benefit someone else. I have opted for the CHOC charity. If we can give a child any hope than it is all worth it.
Follow my journey as I prepare to line up for the 15th time at Comrades.
