It’s no secret that I love the Lady Khama Trail Run – it is super organised, well coordinated and absolute FUN and the trail itself is well-marked, accurately measured, traversing tarmac, uneven dirt track and some grassy bits. On the 14th of April 2019, I ran it for the third time but for the first… Continue reading Lady Khama, 10k Trail Race Recap (2019)

So although a run wasn’t scheduled for… Continue reading Diacore 10k Training Recap: Weeks 4 – 5
What a disaster – in summary, “cough, cough, splutter, splutter, sneeze, sneeze” – REPEAT! 😦 Boy, oh boy! Confession time: when my kids and husband were sick, I didn’t really take them seriously. I may even have muttered the term “man-flu” in the direction of my husband a couple of times. But this week was definitely: The Gaborone Runner… Continue reading Diacore 10k Training Recap: Week 3
