For all of our running buddies out there here is a quick running update. We have officially decided that we are going to do the Soweto Marathon on November 1st, and we are beginning our base training on Easter--it is a rebirth of sorts. The marathon is part of the Nedbank City Marathon Series and takes place in the township of Soweto. The course takes us past the homes of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, and has three big climbs. Fortunately, we live in the middle of hills and have no option but to do some serious hills whenever we head out for a run.
Leading up to the marathon we have found a trail running series sponsored by Men's Health. We are planning on doing at least two of the four races during May and June. Lizabeth (my sister) will be running the 5k with me during the first race at the Cradle of Humankind.
We will keep you posted, and eventually ask for donations as we are running the Soweto Marathon for charity.
