Captain story

I started running when I was a teenager but nothing more than little runs here and there. I kept running, though only sporadically. After I had my son in August last year I really wanted to commit. I have wanted to run the Two Oceans full marathon since I came to South Africa but life happens and I've never made it even close to the Start line. My husband signed me up for the Two Oceans half marathon 2012 and I started training. 

Running alone is extremely dull for me so I wasn't too motivated. Ayesha Khan invited me to run the Slave route awhile later and I had such a great time. I joined up with ARD and now our runs are the highlight of my day. I found the ARD team very friendly, welcoming and supportive. My first run in ARD colours was the 15km run last weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was very grateful to Boeta Achmat for all the encouragement and inspiration. 
Shukran to everyone these past few weeks. I'm looking forward to hitting the road with you all very soon.
