A little bit of history about the comrades marathon.The first run was on 24 May 1921. It is an ultramarathon of approximately 90 km, annually run  in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa between the cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

Hi, it has just hit me that I did not tell you guys how the Boston marathon went. Blame it on Facebook, follow me here I post a lot of these stories there. Here is a recap;
