At Ngqamakwe Pacers, we live by the idea of pacing with purpose—because every step you take forward is a step toward something greater: health, healing, hope, and community.
Today, I want to share with you a simple but powerful phrase I’ve come to love—‘Pura Vida.’�It’s a Costa Rican expression that means ‘pure life’—but it’s more than just words. It’s a way of living.�It means choosing joy even when life gets hard.�It means showing up, even when you’re tired.�It means breathing deeply, running freely, and living fully—right here, right now.
So when you lace up and hit that road today, don’t just run to finish.�Run to feel alive.�Run to remember who you are.�Run for those who can’t.�Run for the pure joy of movement.�Run with purpose. Run with Pura Vida.
I didn’t come here to talk more than I listen—your stories, your struggles, your triumphs—they inspire me. And I’m here, not just to lead, but to learn. So let’s connect. Let’s grow. And most importantly—�Let’s run.
Pura Vida, family. Let’s go!"
Kwi Ngqamakwe Pacers, siphila ngephulo elithi “Pace with Purpose” — kuba lonke inyathelo elisuka kuwe lithetha okukhulu. Lithetha impilo, ithemba, amandla, kunye noluntu.
Namhlanje ndifuna ukwabelana nani ngentetho elula kodwa enamandla:�“Pura Vida.”�Le yintetho yaseCosta Rica, ethetha ukuthi “ubomi obucocekileyo” okanye “ubomi obupheleleyo.” Kodwa ayisosivakalisi nje — yindlela yokuphila.
Ithetha ukhetho lokonwaba, nokuba ubomi bunzima.�Ithetha ukuvuka uziqhube, nokuba udiniwe.�Ithetha ukuphefumla nzulu, ubaleke ngokukhululekileyo, ube nobomi ngokupheleleyo — apha, ngoku.
Ngoko ke xa unxiba izihlangu zakho namhlanje, ungabaleki nje ukufikelela esiphelweni.
Baleka ukuze uzive uphilile.�Baleka ukhumbule ukuba ungubani.�Baleka ngenxa yabo bangakwazi.�Baleka ngenxa yolonwabo.�Baleka ngenjongo. Baleka ngePura Vida.
Andize apha ukuthetha kunokuba ndimamele — iimbali zenu, iinzame zenu, neempumelelo zenu ziyandiphefumlela. Ndimi apha hayi nje ukukhokela, kodwa nokufunda.
Masiqhagamshelane. Masikhule.�Kodwa okona kubalulekileyo — masibaleke.
Pura Vida, usapho lwam. Masihambe!
