Teaching disobedience
Sam wants to know if kids should be taught to take a political or moral stand?
Hey, fatso!
Obesity is SA's "elephant in the room". Feel free to take that literally, says channel24's pop culture columnist. |

My friend Shaun agreed to run with me. I thought he'd just run part of the way and then go on ahead, being a stronger runner than I am, but he stuck with me. He encouraged me all the way, even to a sprint finish at the end!
Flying over the finish line at 1 hour and 53 minutes I was beaming from ear to ear, wanting to hug everyone in sight (which I refrained from doing, being a little sweaty) to be handed a tree instead of a medal – a fabulous gesture and one I wish they'd adopt at more races.
Now I'm not going to lie, I was sore for the rest of the day (and the next) but to go into something with a goal and actually achieve it really puts you on a high. I had never set goals with running to begin with because I didn't want to put any unnecessary pressure on myself. Silly, I know, since it is the pressure you need to actually excel.
But I have to send a big thanks to my friend Shaun for the help and motivation. I don't think I would have cracked it without him.
I'm running a full marathon on Saturday (42.2km) and I want to finish under 4 hours and 20 minutes, lets hope with this in mind I push myself that extra mile (or km in this case).
