 Nice Girl, The World’s Best Physiotherapist, is raising funds for the Unogwaja Challenge 2013: Miranda was the first lady Unogwaja Challenger, completing the daunting journey in 2012 — and showing those boys a thing or two about running Comrades! [...]  After the hugely disappointing but totally unavoidable cancellation of the 2012 Knysna Marathon, it will be interesting to see if there is a decrease in demand for this sold-out event. My feeling is the heavy rain experienced will have done nothing to dampen the spirits of the thousands of runners keen on participating in this iconic event! The 2013 event has been scheduled for the 6 July. [...]  After allowing my pair of New Balance 860′s to deteriorate to a shameful state of collapse, I finally dragged myself off to buy a new pair of road shoes at The Sweat Shop. I have been running in New Balance road shoes since I started running again a few years ago, and as I have had no problems with them, I have chosen to stick with what I know for now. [...]  I bravely ran the 2012 Red Hill Marathon the weekend after Totalsports Terra Firma, and came apart after the Red Hill climb and descent! At that stage my theory was that if I was to be doing IronMan, running a quick marathon should be a regular occurrence. Clearly lack of recovery got the better of me! The sections along the coast are stunningly beautiful as well as very runnable — the slightly boring Cape Point-direction out-and-back leg and the challenging Red Hill adding some teeth to the course. [...]  I am not sure of the history of the race with regards weather such as experienced this year, but my only hope is that considering that the majority of the runner’s travelled so far to take part in the event, that in future it would make sense to have contingency routes that are as close as flood-proof as possible, bearing in mind that almost any route in the area would remain breathtakingly beautiful, even if it was routed on tar, through the town. [...]  I have just received my number for the Knysna Forest Marathon 2012. Check your inbox for yours! Confirmation of entries for this year’s Knysna Forest Marathon have been sent out via email. Details of your entry include T-shirt size (if ordered) and you race number. You need to print this email out to take along to registration. [...]  Entries for the Knysna Forest Marathon and Half Marathon opened online today. I am certain that by the time I actually publish this, the entries for the Half will all have been taken — I hope you got yours. If not, maybe this is the year to upgrade to the Full! [...]  On a windy Wednesday night, 1 February 2012, 3 Cape Town runners joined Richard Donovan for the route of the Cape Town Marathon in his quest to run 7 marathons, on 7 continents, in 5 days. [...] A last-minute decision to enter the much talked about CAPESTORM Redhill Marathon saw me driving through to Fish Hoek Athletics Club pre-dawn Saturday morning for a last-minute entry. The race turned out to be a bit of a Tweet-Up, and I got to meet some Tweeps in person for the first time… [...] |
