Marathon running

Last week the inspiring Ethiopian runner Halie Gebrselassie broke the marathon world record. A good as week as any to enter a marathon of my own.


I've, possibly naively, entered the Winelands marathon (no drinking during, only after). It's on November the 10th so with only a few weeks training to get under my belt before, the chances of beating Halie's staggering time of 2hrs, 4 min, 55 seconds are slim!

The picture above is a view from the top of the hill I've been running up nearly everyday. My hospital, Tygerberg is one of the tall buildings just right of centre.
