Spar Ladies Race 2010
From the sublime to the, well, other extreme.
Last Sunday, after attending the opening and dedication of the Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary the day before, we went to the Pietermaritzburg Spar/Weekend Witness Ladies race.
Something between three and four thousand ladies and “Confused Males” (their official race-day title) took part in a five or ten kilometre run or walk. Jen and Kath return each year for the ten kilometre run. It’s their one formal race per year, and it keeps them pounding (or gently patting?) the streets week 
after week. I don’t know whether it is the fun of running, or the “goodie bag” supplied by the sponsors at registration, or the breakfast pack supplied at the finish? Perhaps they like mixing it with the confused males?
And me? Well someone has to carry the coffee and take pictures. It’s a tough job………
All in all it’s a fun day and the camaraderie is great. Oh yes, and the coffee is good.

Looks like alot of fun, as it is every year. I do miss the Ladies Spar Race, loved the goodie bags, comraderie and sense of achievement at the finish line. Would love to one day see a tall, bearded, confused male with a large laugh, who makes good coffee and loves chocolate, at the start line! hehe

Now if only I could muti-task but, no, I’ll just stick to the coffee and chocolate.
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Lots of love

Looks like a really fun day. As a male I must support your decision to carry the coffee and take pictures.
