10kmPB@42

Have you worked it out yet? PB stands for Personal Best, and I'm 42 years old...

I'm really chuffed about running my fastest 10km in probably 20 years at the Forest Hills race in Kloof on the weekend. My time of 48:15 is almost a minute better than my previous best of 49:10 at the Blue IQ 10km race in Johannesburg in 2003.

A special thanks needs to go out to my running mate, Alan Kockott, for not only pacing and motivating me through the race, but also for the numerous training runs over the past months. Thanks Alan. The course was also fast as flat and well organised. So thanks to the organisers too.

And better still, I feel I can still go a lot faster - so watch this space.
