They are running the Comrades Marathon between Pietermaritzburg and Durban today. For the first time since the start of Covid. So, I think they have missed two years.
Which is a pity really because I was ready to compete last year.
Only kidding. If I run for any length of time my rubbing thighs are likely to set my fanny on fire.
Many years ago I attended a motivational talk by an accomplished woman comrades runner. She was extraordinary. I was, however dismayed to see that she had cellulite.
It seems terribly unfair that you are capable of running 90 km and are STILL cursed with cellulite.
I blame that for putting my running career to an end before it even started really.
We have braved our little porta pool this Sunday. Cellulite and all. In between oohing and aaahing at those extraordinary runners. Yes, we are not wealthy enough to put in a real pool, but I do love bobbing around in my porta pool.
The weather is lovely, but the (green) water is only 16 degrees Celsius. However, I insisted it is warm enough and we MUST get in. We are in autumn here, for what it’s worth.
To balance things out, my lovely man is serving us lentils for lunch.
Hi Rosie , Funny you should mention the Comrades …I was out walking my dogs
when I got a missed video call from a Tete friend Sam Lax , well I don’t normally phone anyone back but I did and she asked me if I was at home , as she was watching the Comrades and wanted to know where Adele was …. Having never been interested in the Comrades I thought whose Adele when, she has clothes on . Any way I gave her my husbands cell and said phone him and he can switch channels and let you know ….So about 30 min later I return home and find Richard live streaming the Comrades through a WhatsApp video call …
And it was quite funny as we both discussed the Comrades and the runners…. and yes Adele came in 3rd….. Quite outstanding the grit
That is extraordinary! Well done Adele. Just amazing those runners
I would only run if Harrods had a sale .. Madness, I tell you …
😁
Thanks for making me laugh!! Keep blogging please🤩
😍🙌🙏
I did a few standard marathons in my time & even once ran the Matopos33 which convinced to leave the Comrades well alone.
Yes! You are amazing 😱👏👏
