Family down with coughs and sneezes. I fight off the creepy-crawlies, don’t run much because of the rain. It’s okay. I’m enjoying the Comrades recovery. I like walking around in my everyday world, with the fingers and ankles still tingling and sparkling with the got-the-medal fizz. How much poorer my life would be without it.
Ultimate Comrades
If Comrades was just another long road race, an “up”, a “down”, and a silver medal would be enough for an ordinary runner like me. But Comrades is much more. Partly because of what I do with it, sure. You seem I’m a magician. I make it big, rich, fulfilling, especially if I can finish […]

I know now why I wanted to run this not-too-but-long enough ultra- marathon. I know to exactly why. Running helps me get the most out of life. The Comrades Marathon, all that it is, gets me the most out of running. Simple. Marvellous
Ultimate Comrades
Long enough ago … I ran 11 Comrades, one after the other, got sick, got better and a medal a couple years later then stopped for too many years. So this is a kind of second time around and definitely starting over. My record for Comrades Two — two Vic Clapham medals, one DNS and one […]

I don’t want to run Comrades yet. More of this taper-happiness in my legs first. And I want that long trip up to KZN all sparking with hope and fear. And I want to stand in the Expo and feel the buzz. After that, the last meal and a bit of sleep, I’ll be ready […]

Notes from the 1967 Comrades: Another record of 600 entrants; threats from traffic authorities to stop the race because of congestion. The winner, Manie Kuhn crosses the line 12 inches (maybe 30 cm) in front of Tommy Malone collapsing and lunging; there was no finish tape or line, just a post, until at last minute […]

Running riches The thing about all the running for Comrades is that it’s not just about the hard work; not just about the medal at the end. Being out in the full of the last of the night-refracted sunlight is part of the richness And we are thriving in bonus warm, late summer days. All […]
