On Saturday morning the Gazelle and I met at Constantia Nek for a workout that was tough (that uphill kills me!) but inspiring (what a beautiful place). I was reminded again why trail really is my first love and, while I have this mammoth task ahead of me (trying to complete a marathon), I am… Continue reading I can, I will
