The second half was a dream. I was moving well, more present in the race, greeting along the route, smiling, and genuinely enjoying every stride.
I had the privilege of running with Queen

Being a "non-runner" meant I had alot to learn about the science of running. Yes peoples, you don't just get up and go run crazy distances😅 There is a multitude of thibgs to consider such as building a foundation, nutrition and correct shoes.

Had a lekka time supporting with Aunties little king😍 this morning.
After supporting,there was a little matter I had to settle😬Coach said 1H20mins. So I had to put in the work
Running alone is never easy,but coupled with the heat,it is like torture

My name is Nyambeni Nefale (NNN).
I started running in 2016. Running was never my favorite thing until I went to a race, and I liked the vibe. As they say, the rest is history 😅.
I love running because it has taken me places I never thought I would go,
