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.

We got to witness how the Kenyans have come to be known the kings of running. These athletes know what to do when they are on the track. They did not disappoint and they lived up to that standard!

Our club played host to our neighbours Zimbabwe and Madagasca. Seen in these pics are those athletes who braced our shores.

Not forgetting that one of our athlete Luxolo Mdzanga did represent SA in these games. His team went to win a bronze overall.

Well to him as he continues to shine out there.

These sort of gestures from club members are encouraged more,  so that those athletes who do not have running gear can benefit. So urge more people to come forward and do likewise. You never know what difference you could be making to an athletes life.

Thanks Trevor. If you see Trevor you won’t believe he wears size 1 plus 1…….

Well done !!

Go gugs!!

The proceeds of this race went as a donation to JL Zwane church women’s group. We will be looking at rotating these donations to the different groups that we feel deserve our donations.  We also urge anyone out there to augment these donations to make a difference in people’s lives.
