I believe that is a Black Eyed Peas song I was trying to
sing there…
Back in June I was going through a rough time and felt that
I needed to set some long-term goals to keep me energized and purposeful. Running
to my shopping village, Kanye, became that goal. Kanye is only 10 kilometers
from my home and this weekend I was able to make the trek. It was incredibly
satisfying to be walking around Kanye knowing that nothing but my feet and the
air in my lungs took me there. Admittedly running along a highway that Semis
use was rather less enjoyable than running in the bush, where I usually run,
which reminded me that its about the journey not the end result. Although it
was great to not have to wait for a combi to take me to Kanye, I can recall
many more pleasant runs after work in June and July than this one. Regardless
of how the final run felt, it did the trick, two months have gone by and I am
in a drastically different headspace. I am happy to have two more months with
the people I care about here and grateful that I did not leave in June as I had
considered. My knees may be telling me to ease off the running and so my next
goal is to reread Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, as I did when I first
arrived.
