Run Forest Run

Myself, Tont and Campo have all joined the Westville Athletics Running Club and are regularly attending the weekly 8km time trials. A mandatory 2 beer minimum post run regime is in place and it is proving to be a very enjoyable weekly meeting. Last week Shuz came along for the run and I feel we will soon have another member on board.

Last Sunday myself, Tont, Campo, Candice, Dave Arde and Diki ran the Forest Hills 10km. It was our first official race since the start of our running campaign. The finishing times were varied but we were all very happy with our performances.

Being members of Westville, Campo and I didn't waste any time taking down the free skottle breakfast and orange juice after the race at the Westville tent. While waiting for the lucky draw we tapped into some very qualified running knowledge and experience in the form of Johan, a friend of Andy's who has completed 17 Comrades Marathons. It was all quite intimidating really. There I was feeling like I had just conquered the world and Johan is telling us that for Comrades training he does about 1,200km of running in the months building up to the race. Yoo, pretty intense.

For now it's just one step at a time and the 'Two10 Hopefuls' are easing into things nice and slowly. Keep an eye out for our next race in August.
