It has been a pretty productive week as far as my training has gone. I am still battling with the tendonitis in my left foot but as the week has progressed my foot has improved. I’m still going for physio every day with Derrick Carter and he seems to be working some serious magic. I was able to run 4 times this week; Monday I did about Read more…

If you know me you’d know that I’m pretty laid back and not much fazes me but there is one thing that really grates my carrot. I fully understand why shopping malls have disabled parking spaces right outside the front door. It is to help make the disabled have a slightly more pleasant shopping experience.  I think that it is common decency to respect others enough, especially those that are disabled, to not park in the disabled parking space if you are able bodied. I see able bodied people parking in these spots quite often and more so at this time of the year when our malls are busy with people doing their Christmas shopping. I really feel it is up to the rest of us to embarrass transgressors enough that the next time they consider parking in a disabled parking space they think twice about it. I dare you, in fact I triple dare you to scream as loud as you can the next time you see an able bodied person parking in the disable parking “It’s a miracle! You can walk!!! Praise (insert whoever you praise here), it’s a miracle”. That should get some kind of reaction. Go on, I dare you.

Randfontein Public Safety Vehicle Parked in the Disabled Parking at Keywest in Krugersdorp

I was shopping at Keywest Shopping Centre in Krugersdorp on Tuesday (15 December) when I came across this vehicle in the disabled parking outside one of the entrances. If the photo is not clear enough it is a Randfontein Public Safety vehicle (RXB147GP). I think it’s superb that Randfontein are employing disabled people but I would feel slightly safer if they employed able bodied individuals to project the public and used the disabled in a more administrative role. Not sure how you feel about it?

I have been a bit slack over the last two weeks as far as updating the progress of my training and also on the status of injury I have picked up. At least my training hasn’t been as slack as my updates! After seeing Dr Jon Patricios at the Morningside Sports Clinic the diagnosis was made that I have Read more…

BMW drivers will be the first people to tell you not to generalise about their behavior on the roads. But there is a group of people I believe are slightly worse, if that is possible. A group who have fast overtaken BMW drivers to become the biggest prats on the planet are the inconsiderate, arrogant and Read more…

I’m a bit bleak this morning. I’m not bleak because I’m on air on 94.7 Highveld Stereo, I love that. I’m bleak because I actually put in a days leave for today so that I could run my first half marathon since coming out of retirement (lol). I’m on air this morning and not running because I’ve done some damage to my left foot. I spent the week in and out of doctor’s rooms and x-ray departments to figure out what I have done to it. I was really concerned that it was a stress fracture Read more…
