Day 28 of 36 km x 28 days Challenge has been completed‼️☑️🧨🎆🥳🎉🎊🍾🥂🐣
The whole aim of the challenge was to inspire others especially beginner Runners to run like a 5 km x 10/12 days and to talk to themselves like “if Mosa can do 36 km then why NOT” and to demonstrate that distance is negligible that is one has to be in the moment and forget how far one has to go. It was the last day of the challenge and the body was slow at waking up for all of us as it is festive season. I was accompanied by Champ Bogosi and Papi for 15 km and the rest I took it home. I had worn Mafikeng Road Runners club colours 💙🤍🧡 plus I ran with the South African Flag 🇿🇦 the whole 36 km. It was to honour our fellow Runners Running In Peace (RIP) 💔❤️‍🩹🏃‍♀️🏃, heroes of our country and many more. Flag was a bit heavy and emotional. We/I got a lot of hooters from motorists from start to finish. By 25 - 26 km just before a hill a GWM SUV vehicle passed me with a Gauteng number plate hootering saying great job. It had disappeared after going over the hill and it came back to me with hazards lights plus ease. It was three kind ladies saying they love what I was doing and since it was hot at the time of day they gave me iced water, Enerdage Naartjie flavour and said thank you. I asked for their names, took a selfie with them and said we will meet again at races. 2.50 km later I turned back to finish and it was a battle as wind was against me compared to earlier in the morning. The rest is history. The word for the day is 2 Timothy 04:07 - “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Let’s keep moving Champs .. 🏃‍♀️🏃🌱🌱
Thank you for all the support Champs during this challenge .. 🤲🙏🙌🙇

Thought I pin .. 📌📌📌 .. one of my favourite birthday photo’s from 2024, 25 December .. 🎂🏃🌱📚💡.. so you can know me better and why I call myself a Scienthlete (Scientist + Athlete) .. Years back when I was a juvenile I was curious to know how everything works and everything around us is science from cooking, building, farming, mining, water, energy, cleaning, treating waste for example even sports which I always loved especially running. I believe that running is universal in all sports and helps everyone in different fields of life to manage everything. Below is my (A) Running and (B) Scholastic Résumé.

Most of our goal(s) was 10 ‘consecutive’ @comradesmarathon which is a green number. Now ‘consecutive’ is out of the window but it taught us something and it would take pages for me to write. One thing from the pages would be that the world has grown into a running world and it makes me happy. Congratulations to everyone who got an entry and best wishes for next year. We will be watching and supporting .. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃🌱🌍♥️

I ran ~217 km and walked ~74 km for the month of September 2026 .. It’s proof that we don’t need car(s) so sell that car(s), get yourself a treadmill and all gym equipments to build a home gym .. 😜 but only if South African 🇿🇦 Transport Industry was reliable in a snap 🫰 and 120% safe for every citizen 💘 ..

The benefit of walking for Runners especially those who drive a lot is that walking helps strengthen and activate the smaller stabilising muscles in the legs and feet that may not be adequately trained when they spend long periods sitting and then go straight into running. Strengthening these muscles can improve stability and may help reduce the risk of injury .. 🐣

Best wishes to the new month Champs .. 💐💫

If I was the President of South Africa 🇿🇦.. I would give Runners R10 - R20 for every kilometre they run which they can claim annually as total kilometres. Example, if you ran 5000 km for the year, you will get R50 000 - R100 000 tax free. However, recording device(s) will have highly strict monitoring features where it will be connected to your fingers to detect if it is really you .. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💸🌍🇿🇦🧨🎇🎆

A Runner doing intervals while on injury .. during rest or between intervals the injury gets cold then when the Runner runs he/she limps only at the start.
