I popped into Johannesburg to join hundreds of runners, tackling a gruelling 60km training run, the Awesome Threesome organised by 3 vibrant clubs - Waterfall, Manoni and Chillies. Tjo, it was brutal. They chose all the mean hills from Sandton, Woodmead, Waterfall, Midrand, Sunninghill, Rivonia, Bryanston, Melrose...our legs WORKED. Thank you for a marvellous, challenging run. The support from the volunteers was so heart-warming. Yesterday was extra special for me as I have not run in South Africa for 7 years. I also run solo in DC. To be home and run on familiar streets, see familiar faces and friendly strangers encouraging each other in true South African style - "looking good, keep going, you are nearly there...." Plus the music. I had to stop and dance at the 30kms.

Eish! I'm sorry that I will not be at The Gathering with Daily Maverick. We were all on board, ready to take off on the connection from Newark to Johannesburg on Tuesday evening. Just before take-off, we had to disembark because of a "technical problem." 3 hours later, it was meal and hotel vouchers😴. The rescheduled flight took off on Wednesday afternoon, too late for me to make it on time. Making matters worse was that I was scheduled to return to DC immediately after The Gathering. It wasn't meant to be. I am sorry to miss this enriching event- and a chance to breathe home air! Next time.

So why am I looking out at the New York skyline instead on landing in Cape Town as I was meant to an hour ago 😃 😀 😄. Because United Airlines has struck again. Midair on our connection flight from Newark to Cape Town, 2 hours into the flight, captain announces an air conditioning issue and we must return to Newark. But "not to worry, we will have you back in the air in no time." I laughed because I knew what would come next. We would not be leaving US soil because the United SA route from Newark is notorious for this. 3 weeks ago they canceled Cape Town to DC with a rescheduled flight in FOUR DAYS! I have a sense of humour about these things and always keep calm. When we landed in Neward, I had to laugh again when I saw the energy bars and water set out on arrival at the gate. We were going nowhere. Their system is very efficient with hotel and meal vouchers - practice, I guess. And guess what? The next available flight was FOUR days later. 😃 I'm sorry to my client whose summit I can not moderate in Jozi and another, whose board retreat I cannot address in Muldersdrift. (Not mentioning company names because people get pressured for working with me and you know why.) 😃 I felt sorry for the couple coming to Capetown for Sanlam Marathon. They planned a holiday for their 35th anniversary and now arriving the day before the Marathon. The couple on honeymoon to the Kruger missing all their other tours. And a grandmother from Philadelphia going to see her new grandchild. Atleast her children bought her a new ticket on Delta. Anyway, I'm too old for NYC, heading back to my family in DC. They'll be thrilled! But will take their rescheduled flight and run the Sanlam Marathon as planned. See you later Kaapstad. 😘
