I ran my first 56km Two Oceans Marathon at the tender age of 23. And have turned up on 28 Easter Saturdays since then to run this race.....
Well not quite.
I have run 21 of the 56km races, and today completed no 7 of the half-marathon race.
Why do I keep coming back? Simply because it is the most beautiful run in South Africa with the best spectator support anywhere!
And I am so privileged to be still running. I know that I am slower, and my knees are sore when they never used to be. And it is harder to get up in the morning to go running.
But I can still put one foot in front of another. And I am grateful.

My son is just getting started running marathons and halves - maybe one day he'll run this one! Happy Easter, Pete!
