Johannesburg City 10K Run

Crowds at start of race

 Well then. After the realisation in April of 2015 that I was, in fact, a fat slob, I started running. Well, jogging. Well walking fast and for short intervals. After a bit of a false start I eventually managed to do the running and exercising thing more often during 2016. This culminated in me being in some shape (yes, round is a shape) to run in the JHB 10k City Run last weekend. And my time of 1:02:40 is reasonably, shall we say, not too shabby for an our of shape middle aged man.
