Comrades for Cancer Buddies
- Injury woes!Just when I thought I was getting on top of my game, a little surprise injury comes along to derail all my plans. I bought new running shoes last week, and unfortunately took the advice of the shoe sales man who told me to buy a pair larger than the last ones because I was [...] […]
- 5 Months to go and 1400km’s of roadwork ahead!Well we are firmly into January, and the training for Comrades has begun in earnest. The training programme I am following (www.alsoranrunners.info) says I need to be doing in the region of 65km’s per week! Thats quite a step up for me as I have been averaging about 40km’s per week up to now. Since I [...] […]
- Runners World ArticleRunnersworld Article January 2010 After chatting to the team at Runners World, I was astounded that they selected me as one of their “heroes” of 2009 for choosing to run the Comrades in 2010 to raise cash for Cancer Buddies! I certainly don’t feel like a hero today after running the Bay to Bay yesterday..but thanks [...] […]
- Comrades Entry Confirmed!I checked the Comrades web site yesterday and see that my entry has been confirmed! Now I am really nervous, as there are no excuses for not running. This past week was a tough week from a training perspective. I flew to JHB twice in one week so missed out on 3 days of training [...] […]
- Landmarks Half MarathonLast week was a good week. I did 45km of road work, which included the Landmarks Half Marathon. The great thing about doing these half marathons regularly is that you can see the progress in fitness and experience, as a result I really enjoyed the day out on the road. The course was excellent, and I [...] […]

Hello to you, I have CLL and doing chemo at the moment and I have found that there are so few of us that can talk to some one that has just been diagnosed. I am using this as a example…On Thursday i had marrow taken again and as I was waiting to be done there sat a couple and I had the feeling that I should talk to them. Ok cut a long story short….they were waiting for the results of his marrow and I just told them how I went through that and how my mind worked at the time. I made them smile laugh and cry . They went to the doc I went for my zap. On leaving Groote Schuur who do I bump into…..he has Leukemia and they have to find a match. I spoke a little more and more tears this time and i spoke to the wife and told her what to expect from him as we are the same age 59. She said he is already angry and we spoke for about 10 minutes. She thanked me with lots of tears and he said thank you for talking and said we will talk again. He shook my hand and said thanks for the talk, I said it is a road that I understand and when we see each other we will talk again. I know the feeling and I know how and what is going through his mind and it was a comfort to me as well as him that i could be of help. Why am I writing this…I don’t know….maybe just to tell others that we are not different but have something that others don’t have. Dont treat us with puppy dog eyes and saying shame, treat us as you would treat yourselves
