WORDS

“You know you just qualified for Comrades.” I laughed it off in 2018 after my first marathon — but a seed had been planted. Six years later, I’ve finished Comrades twice. 2024 was steady and joyful. 2025 was hard-fought: illness, injury, doubt. But I kept going. If the first was a celebration of my journey, the second was a tribute to community, the people who lifted me when I couldn’t lift myself.

Running isn’t just something we do anymore. It’s a lifestyle, a form of self-expression, and yes, even part of our identity. From the shoes on our feet to the playlists we queue, everything we bring to a run says something. And when it comes to eyewear, nothing says "I’ve got this" quite like a pair of Oakleys.
