Especially the bit about galloping. It was more like a shuffle! Candice my 18th Oceans will be one that I remember. It was great running with you, and remember that my running with someone who is maybe taking a bit of strin of flagging helps me and takes my mind off my own race. So when I am bossing you along and saying " run to that post" and "we can walk from that election poster to the next lamp post", it helps me run those 50 meters, and only walk 10 to recover. The amazing thing about running a race like two oceans is that you are constantly seeing truly inspirational sights and mine was seeing a guy with one leg and one prosthesis run past me. I also saw a blind runner with his leader going up Chappies. These people are really coping with permanaent disabilities, while my black eye is healing nicely and the swelling has gone down.
