Myself and a few hundred of my closest friends started the Harvest Half Marathon (21 km) at 7:45 a.m. in the cold gloom of dawn yesterday (Saturday), running through the streets of Midnapore and then Fish Creek Park as the sun was coming up . . . . . finishing a few hours later in a nicely toasty, sunny morning.
Just a great day for a run . . . .
The run benefited the foundation of a 38 year-old single mother and colleague of mine who lost her life to brain cancer last year. As I was running along, it was nice to see mutual friends and colleagues as volunteers along the way.
Then I spent the next six or seven hours with my feet up on the deck, under the brolly, reading a bit and watching the harvest going on across the valley . . . . .
Yes, a beautiful day . . . .
