Comrades Marathon Blog

Two running related links for you today:

The first is a a story about a boy who went from a wheelchair to a sub 11 second 100m, Ryan Farrington. With all the noise about Oscar Pistorius, I found this story to be rather refreshing.

The second is from a great new running blog, Runnersguide. They list the 5 essentials of a runner:

1. Balance
2. Patience
3. Respect
4. Humility
5. Vasbyt - Roughly translated to persevere, but really implies “To push through pain” in this context.

I’m not doing the post justice, so go and read the rest of it here.
