Running through my Winter…

Posted on August 21, 2018 by Bo

1. After being brave for so long, we made the decision to put Annie down before she suffered. It radically changed our relationship with Emma. Not a day goes by without us thinking of Little Annie Panks. | 2. I joined a bunch of friends walking dogs at a dog shelter. It was hard work but so rewarding. | 3. We went away with friends to Parys. A weekend of park run, long lunches, popcorn, 30 Seconds and wine. | 4. All CW-X stock is on sale & we managed to sell most of the average sizes. | 5. I started to crochet! It’s fantastic to zone out & detox from devices. | 6. KK and I attended an Enneagram course. Turns out we’re both perfectionist but I avoid conflict. I just want harmony. Funny that. | 7. Another weekend away to the ‘Berg. Good for the soul but boy did it get cold! | 8. Getting artsy fartsy and visiting the Standard Bank gallery. | 9. KK and I ran Old Eds. The running bug has bitten! We’re back!

With so many wonderful memories, I must admit that the signs of Spring could not have come at a better time. That welcoming feeling of warmth, renewal and fresh beginnings. Exactly what I needed most!

An Easter holiday to remember

It’s unbelievable how time flies! A month ago, we were packing to head down to Cape Town and run Two Oceans. Flicking through the photos reminded me about the wonderful time we had.

We flew down engulfed in the most gorgeous white fluffy clouds…

Like typical Vaalies, we headed down to the beach…

And we took ~~one or two~~ many sunset photos…

We went to some of the most beautiful wine farms…

We ate *way* too much food…

…even picnicked.

And of course, we drank *ahem*.

We also took time to relax.

But I guess the main reason for the trip was the Two Oceans marathon and half marathon races. KK ran his first full ultra and did an excellent time! But after a gap of 2 years, I finally (!) conquered my fear of the half marathon and finished under three hours. I was elated! Good training & exercising of the mind & body did the trick I think. Thank you Cape Town! See you again next year…

12 days in Cape Town. 12 wonderful memories.

1. Lunch at Fairview Wine Farm. (Our favourite!) 2. Driving along the coastline on an overcast afternoon. 3. Lunch at Haute Cabriere. 4. Early morning support to the Two Oceans runners. 5. Me. 8km fun run. 6. Lazy days on the beach. 7. Checking out the new deli at Tokara – it’s awesome! 8. Morning hike through the forest. One of my favourite days! 9. Charly’s Bakery! A must-see/eat/experience! 10. Neighborgoods Market at Old Biscuit Mill. Deciding on what to eat is torture! 11. Sunset cruise aboard the Spirit of Victoria. 12. When I’m stressed out at work, I’ll close my eyes and remember the feel of the sand between my toes and the sound of the waves…Thank you Cape Town!
