First a great thanks to Lauren from “On the Run”. I received some awesome honey gels from her after answering a question on her blog. If you don’t know or follow Lauren yet you are missing out on some crazy energy runs. Thanks Lauren! The smiley face she included in the package gives some idea of this girl's personality.
It is Comrades week and I want to thank you all for all the encouragement, messages and well wishes that have been coming my way. Thank you all, I really appreciate it! I was reminded in a song written for Comrades how I should feel this week. You are one of the lucky ones
You are one of a chosen few
That gets to run the greatest race of them all…
I leave you with a short Comrades video. Happy running!

I think I might have to try to do Comrades one day. It's a bit far from Philadelphia though.
So excited for you! Best of luck!
Johann--I am so excited for you. I know you've got this all sewed up. Can't wait to hear the race report!
Good luck my friend!
Hey Johan, all the best for Comrades. I know you have done much tougher runs as part of your training for this one, but then, nothing beats Comrades for the experience. Enjoy every moment.
I am so excited for you!!! Best wishes this week!
I love Honey Stingers!
Good luck, Johann, I'm going to be thinking of you and sending tons and tons of positive energy!
Lucky guy there, loving that smilie sticker - I think it's a sign of things to come in Comrades!! :)
I agree the the smiley face is a sign of things to come! Good Luck and I know you will do great! You totally have this! Looking forward to reading all about it
Johann...Good luck at Comrades!
I LOVE that quote at the top. LOVE IT.
Good luck, Johann, I am so excited for you!
So excited for you! Have a blast, run hard, fast and strong.
I hope you'll enjoy that beautiful challenge! Good Luck at Comrades, Johann!
Do we get your number so we can follow along virtually?
Good luck!
You must be beyond excited. I love reading your blog and will so love reading about this race in particular! Good luck!
You are going to do AWESOME!! Enjoy every second of it and good luck!
good luck. I am envious!
Good luck this weekend. The race you are running is epic and on my list of things to do before 'Q on the Move' stops moving. Until I get there, I shall run it vicariously through you my broer.
I love that quote at the top of your post. I'm going to keep that in mind when I'm racing in Costa Rica next month.
GOOD LUCK this weekend!! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
Johann - You are definitely one of my heroes! I can't believe how early you rise every day! It's amazing. I can't wait to catch up on your blog and read all this Comrades stuff. :)
What a fun package! You have lots of great blogger buddies who mail you things :)
Good luck!! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Have a wonderful time out there Johann - celebrate all the work you have put into this one!!!
The days are ticking away -- so exciting.
Thanks for the call-out. As far as the smiley being part of my personality . . . well, let's just say it's ONE of my personalities : )
Best of luck to you on the big day!
super exciting!
I am so excited for you... I have used Hal Higdon's Comrades training schedule for my 50 milers. Not even close to being there but I can pretend!!!!!
=D
Can't wait to hear your race report!!!!!!!
I use them on runs and works great (Honey gels)
You know what needs to be done. Have two goals (good day - avg day), get your mind focused, and smile along the way. Do great things and make a memory that will last lifetime.
Good luck tomorrow Johann! Will be thinking of you and sending you positive energy for your race! :-)
I listen to an awesome Podcast talked Marathon Talk and all they've been talking about is Comrades. It's like in the U.S. we have the Super Bowl which is Boston. But in the rest of the world there is the World Cup, which is like Comrades.
Okay, maybe a weak analogy, but I do know it is HUGE in S.A.
Super good luck Johann.
p.s. Char is going to send me the flag!
That quote is AWESOME! I love it.
Good luck!!!
Good luck to you Johann! Somehow you were not on my blog roll like you used to be so now you are again! Good good luck! You will be great!
Good luck. I am sure you will do it.
All the best.
6 hours to go! Good luck! Have a great time.
Not sure how the timing is and if you are already running, but whether you have run, are running, or already have run I hope it is great, or was great!
I can't believe it is today! Good luck and enjoy the journey Johann! Look forward to reading about it!
No report yet? I can't wait!!! I kept my fingers crossed so tight I can't type they hurt so much.
Hope you had a fabulous time.
