Elaines -Comrades Ultra Marathon 2009 by Elainec

Hi all,  my name is Elaine and although I was born and grew up in Liverpool I have lived in Pretoria South Africa for the last 18 years with my husband and 17 year old daughter Amy. I've been running for around 10 years and have completed many marathons and Ultra Marathons. My aim is to get 10 Comrades (89Km) Marathon Medals I have finished 7 but got a stress fracture on my lower leg early last year preventing me from running Comrades 2007. I'm now recovered I ran and finished Comrades 2008.  A group of the Ladies I run with and I (5 of us all together) all went over for the Paris Marathon and London Marathon 2008 we had a brilliant time and finished both races, came back to SA and ran Loskop 50km a week later. We ran another 50k in May and then Comrades in June. July this year for the first time we all did 52km Trail race in the snowy Mountains of the Eastern Cape....   Now for a new adventure !!!
