Only 5 more weeks (including this week) until this year’s Comrades Marathon. The one thing that I am most excited by is the week prior to the race where I will get to reacquaint myself with family and friends from South Africa. This week is always special as it is the time when I get to catchup and reminisce about times gone by. It is the time when the event seems so near and yet so far away at the same time. It is also a time that I relish but at the same time one that I don’t like as just as soon it will be over again and as all good things it must come to an end eventually. That is true also of any event that one prepares well for. The time must come when you do cross that finish line and stand alone in your thoughts. A time when all else seems trivial and you are euphoric. A time when time stands still and you know that you are not done, nor will you ever be done, but just for that brief second or few minutes you will know that you have conquered and that you preparation has served you well.
