No one knows more about the gruelling intricacies of Olympics sports & what goes into a record performance than a 9yo watching for the first time…

Guys just a heads up re: Couch to 5k. It’s literally zero couch. You’d think day 1 would be some couch but no, the couch element is essentially day 0. You are moving from the word go, should be called 0-5km to be honest. So yeah be warned

@CountLiveAlot @CapeTown Green Point Park, the Sea Point promenade, or Constantia Uitsig 🙌🏽 (Uitsig might be a bit much if he’s on a trike & still learning)

At a time when the rest of South Africa is in retreat, the Western Cape is thriving. It has become a test case for how to run a successful province and world-class city; for what is possible when the public and private sectors work together.

People insist on comparing other cities to NY. It’s a fool’s errand, especially around Halloween.
