On Sunday, August 30th, Kat, Mary, and I joined up to do a 12-13 mile (20-22 km) long run together for our training. The day was hot, even in the morning, but armed with some sports drink and determination off we went. The route took us from our little cottage uphill from Albert’s Farm in Northcliff all the way along Tana Road and down to the far corner of Delta Park. On the way back we made a little detour up to the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens to add the extra distance demanded by our training plans. Overall, it was a tough day. The longest we have been on our feet so far, but this is what training for a marathon is all about: perseverance and keeping on. Tired and sweaty, we finished up around mid-day. Bring on Soweto!
