Awesome run this morning – Umhlanga Pier and back

Nov 25

Posted by ewan in me | 3 Comments

What a perfect morning. Got in to work early, cleared out my mailbox, went for a 9km run, and back at the office for a great breakfast at 7am!

The weather was perfect, felt like I could run forever, powered by Alanis.
I still don’t understand cyclists – I passed lots on the way out, all dressed in the lycra/spandex versions of bad golfing outfits, dark glasses and shiny many-thousand Rand bikes – stuck to the tar, unable to go cross country whenever they like, unable to run along the edge of the sea, missing the smaller details and the bikinis :-)

Run, Forrest, Run!

Surprisingly I do still think it’s a great movie – perhaps because I first saw it end-to-end a month ago, on a flight between Johannesburg and London. And not only because hearing “All Along the Watchtower” in the ‘Nam scene gave me Battlestar Galactica flashbacks.

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

~~e.e. cummings


I managed to hurt my leg somehow, so no running on the beach for the past week – and I miss it terribly.

28 minutes, 4 kilometres, 4800 steps, nasty route. It’s great to get back into regular running. The purpose of this post is to remind me how awesome I feel after a good run :-)
