Newsletter #3 - March 2018

Welcome

Warm greetings to all our members. Autumn is in the air and Two Oceans and Comrades are closing in. We hope that you are all healthy and that your training is up to date. Be careful not to catch a cold as this will hamper your performance in upcoming events.

 

Time trials

This is the place to be on a Tuesday afternoon at 17:30 (17:15 during winter) at the club house. This is where you get all information regarding events and other issues and you can meet other members (running and non-running) and where you can compete against yourself as we record you time. The results are also published on our national web site at http://www.nedbankrunningclub.co.za/

(Click on Events, Time Trial Results and choose the Nedbank Running Club Vanderbijlpark Logo. There you will see all the results. Click on the event that you want, and it will be downloaded where you can open it in Excel).

Here is a copy of the results from the past three months

100 Miles and More For CANSA

Jennifer Scharpe-Scott

We publish this letter of Jennifer again as the dates mentioned in the previous letter have changed – please take note of this change. Contact me at jordaan.dawid@gmail.com and I will gladly put you in contact with Jennifer.

I am a volunteer for CANSA Vaal Triangle for the past 3 years.

“Due to personal problems/circumstances in July 2017 I was feeling useless, worth nothing to the world, worth nothing to anybody and especially I felt worth nothing to the person I love the most in this world, it is difficult to explain how one feels when you are broken inside. Feeling sorry for myself I was walking with my head down, “snot en trane”, I bumped into a local farmer.

He said to me: “Hello Jennifer, hoe gaan dit? Wanneer ek verby jou ry en jy hardloop op die pad, ek waai nie vir jou nie, ek salueer jou, want jy hardloop.” And there he saluted me. I actually looked behind me to make sure he was not talking to somebody else, because I am worth nothing to anybody, and here this man salutes me!!!!!!! When I walked away, and I thought about what this man had said to me I felt as if I could RUN 100 MILES!!!

About 2 weeks after these words were said to me I told my friend Lelani from CANSA Vaal Triangle what this man had said to me and I mentioned to her that I felt as if I could run 100 miles. And a day later Lelani phoned me and said that if I want to run 100 miles, CANSA Vaal Triangle will help me, without thinking I said YES, and the rest is History.

 

Nedbank Running Club, this is where I need your help, I want to raise funds for CANSA Vaal Triangle by running 100 miles FOR CANSA to help those who cannot run because of this disease, but cancer can be treated. The route I would like to take will take 3 days to run 106 miles:The Route which I chose is as follows:

Oranjeville to Frankfort = 54km, from

Frankfort to Reitz = 65km and then from

Reitz to Bethlehem = 52km, this is 171km = 106miles.

I would like to run this on 17th, 18th and 19th July 2018.

Please can someone from Nedbank assist with my training/ guides and help me, and or would anyone like to join me in running the 106 miles for CANSA, and or would you like to involve every Nedbank Running Club in South Africa

I will run, walk and crawl if I have to from Oranjeville to Bethlehem for CANSA, I will do it. Who would like to join me??
