We were wondering why was Jimmy at every race and this is what he had to say…………

I was asked why I run every race.

The reason why you see me at most, if not all, the races is that I am a member of Mille Miglia.Mille Miglia is a thousand miler club, comprising of members from athletic clubs in the western province.[Gugs have four representatives]

The goal is to cover a thousand miles [1609 km] within a year. Should you not reach a thousand miles you  still get acknowledgement for what ever mileage you did, if it is ASA or WPA approved .The members of this club are real kilometre junkies they reel in every available kilometre and this has probably rubbed off on me.

Last year [2010] I reached this remarkable achievement [1700 km]. The fun is to send in monthly details of races completed and to monitor progress. You will get a kick out of watching your mileage grow. So next time you see me at a race you know why. 

PS: “Yimmy” has more running vests than all of us combined at the club.
