It was canceled due to fires, but I was able to return in 2009. So I have run it, but still have lost the lottery 10 times in a row.

I have been reading your blog for the past 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed your antics and have especially enjoyed your wonderful in- race pictures. I am an avid long distance runner, although I am usually making up the numbers somewhere at the back. I shall be one of the 23 000 at Comrades this year after breaking my duck last year and I hope you find the run (and your trip down here to SA) a wonderful and memorable one. Happy running.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-45949358609443217302015-01-10T21:32:51.717-08:002015-01-10T21:32:51.717-08:00Quite a few classics, I may see you at 1 or 2 of t...Quite a few classics, I may see you at 1 or 2 of these 2015 races.

Your chances of not getting in are about the same as someone with one ticket getting in, and that happens all the time. Hopefully I will see you out there at some race or other.notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.com
