45 days to go til I leave for an epic world adventure of a marathon on each continent!

I am taking up the challenge of running a marathon on all 7 continents this year to inspire people to live their dreams & passions, take up a challenge and change a life to see South Africa Restored!  

And first up is the Antarctica marathon on 7th March 2013! Yikes!

Its the beginning of a new week of training! Last week I completed 58km and 8 hours of exercise!

Mondays are my cross training days! So I have just been down to the Thompsons tidal pool which is 90M long and I did 900m (10 x 90m lengths) It is the most beautiful day on the north coast today! And still quite a few holiday makers around! The water was warm and I really enjoyed my swim!

Beautiful day on the North Coast, still quite a few holiday makers!

Phew - what an awesome kettle bells session today! Killer session - I haven't been for a month cause of all my travelling and it was brilliant to be back!! 

And exciting I had another R100 and message " Go for it!! Awesome goal :)" come in for for Oceanites (www.oceanites.org) charity as sponsorship for my run! Thank you to the the McWilliams family for contributing to Debs birthday!

And another amazing generous donation of R1500 and awesome message "Absolutely humbled by your passion and awesome adventure!" from Riedwaan - huge thank you! So now total raised R48 837 and still to go R57 413....almost there!
