Fastest 56 km race - April 2010

On April 3, 2010 I ran my fastest 56 km (Two Oceans Marathon), It also was my tenth successfull completion of this race in 11 years (I missed one year as a result of illness). What was amazing is that I ran 27 minutes faster than the previous year, 18 minutes faster than my best time set in 2005 and 20 minutes faster than my first attempt 11 years ago. The Herbalife products that I used was niteworks before the race (and again 4 hours in the race) and then H3O Pro, throughout the race - one sachet every hour. It was a beautiful day, almost perfect weather for running - no, to be exact - it was perfect! There was hardly any wind, it was cool with some misty rain from time to time. I ran through the marathon mark in 4 hours and hoped to do the last 14 km in 90 minutes, but could not quite keep ap the pace for that. It was wonderful to complete the race and to know that it would not have been possible if my sister did not introduce me to Herbalife in 1997. Thanks, Christa.

Fastest 21.1 km

The past weekend I ran my fastest 21.1 km (half marathon) ever, beating my previous best (set more than six years ago) by more than three minutes (and about 15 minutes faster than my best half marathons the previous three years). The success I believe comes from hard work (of course), but also some great Herbalife products. The day of the race I took niteworks about 15 minutes before the start of the race. I had thermo tea about 60 minutes before that. I gulped down a shake as well at that time (with protein powder). I ran with a bottle full of H30 - PRO, our isotonic drink (about 800 ml - one sachet) which kept me going for the duration of the race. I ran the second half of the race faster (more downhill than the first half ). It was a great day and I felt fantastic afterwards. I ran a quick 8km run at the gym two days after the race. Thank you, Herbalife. Thank you, my Creator!
