I am still fundraising to secure my Antarctica marathon entry to ensure I run all 7 marathons in 1 year! (there is a 5 year waiting list) but I am fundraising for Oceanites charity to secure a 2013 entry!

Thursday 10th January 2013 - wonderful 14km boardwalk, beach run!
I was up at 4:40am and had my cup of coffee & banana and was out the door by 5:10 to run to the Dolphin Coast clubhouse to meet Harry for our weekly Zimbali beach run!
It was very hot and humidity levels were extremely high! Despite that the sunrise over the sea was exquisite!

There was a lovely breeze which certainly made the heat and humidity more bearable! Once we were off the boardwalk and onto the beach I could feel that I haven't been running on the beach for the last month whilst travelling around the country! My quads were screaming at me! We did about 4km on the soft beach sand, it is such great training for the Antarctica marathon! There were so many crabs on the beach this morning scurrying over the sand and into the sea! And the sea looked so inviting, calm and beautiful!
Usually once we off the beach we head home along Compensation beach road and Ocean road so quite an easy run home...but not this morning...Harry was still full of energy and suggested we run up Ballito Drive...IT IS A HUGE LONG HILL! So we did, we made it to the BP garage where we filled up our water bottles had a splash of water and headed down Simbithi drive towards home!
What a wonderful run! Thank you Harry!
