Another first for me today. My sister loves running on dirt roads, up mountains and across streams. I'm more of a tar fan. But today the weather was pleasant and she suggested we go to the Rietvlei Zoo/farm where there's a variety of trail runs on offer. A trail run is like a hike, except it's a run. I am proud to admit that I did manage to run most of the route except for the uphills, down rocky ridges and over tree roots.
The venue was very busy with all sorts on offer for the kids and adults alike. Picnics, fishing, animals, paddling, cycling, ziplining and many other interesting things. Fortunately once we were on the dirt trail, it was quieter, although we did see a lot of walkers and plenty happy dogs on the shorter route.
Sister went out ahead which is better for both of us, and was there to capture my finish.
I'm pleased to be seeing new places and experiences but now with a conscious enjoyment. It's great to see so many people out and about in the world determined to make the best of their lives. A new appreciation of life and health.
