Starting line: 332 days to the 100th Comrades
DIST 5.8 km TIME 42:13 EFFORT easy
First logged run of the comeback, and the first line in a ledger I intend to keep every day until 13 June 2027.
The road ahead has waypoints: a proper pair of shoes and a running club first, a 10 km to shake off the rust, the hilly Soweto half in November as the first honest test, a marathon qualifier to earn early next year, then the Comrades-specific grind to June.
Eleven months. One road at a time. The clock starts now.
