Comrades Marathon time again! 87km and 12hours of running, walking (and crawling if necessary), 18000 entrants and a constant stream of hills and supporters.

This time I'm hoping to raise money for the wonderful Starfish Charity, who support children orphaned by HIV / Aids in South Africa, basically school aged children raising their own brothers and sisters while still hoping to have bright successful futures themselves.

Training has been going really well so I feel positive I won't let everyone down and get myself across that finish line again. AND very few GBPs & CHFs = loads of ZARs, so every little counts.

Thanks everyone and if you're bored on Sunday 2 June you can track me on www.comrades.com, race number 12917. Recommend watching the leading group, they're awesome! Love, Amanda x
