You can do it! Spar Women’s walk / race / crawl…
Ok so December is only 3 months away – which means that if you want to get ready for skimpy summer clothing, best you get going now… THE SPAR WOMENS WALK/RUN (or crawl) is a great goal to aim for – it’s only R20 – LETS DO IT.
Thx to LILY for the heads up on this fine way to kickstart the Spring fitness program…
It’s for WOMEN ONLY – but see rule number 20 – men are allowed …
to run in drag! Love that!
