Saturday Success

It’s Saturday afternoon and raining outside. I had every intention to get up this morning and going for a 5km 'wog' (walk/jog, as I like to call it). But when I woke up, late, and saw that it was windy and raining, there were 100 million other things I would rather have done other than going outdoors. I had promised my 7-year-old that we were going to make a concerted effort to get healthier, so I couldn’t very well let the weather dictate my commitment to getting myself moving.

We went to the beach promenade and we were the only crazy humans outdoors the whole way. But it was the most beautiful experience I’ve had down there. The was a spring low tide and the water was about 50m – 70m out and we saw the Durban beach in a way we’ll probably never see it like that again.

We only managed 2kms because of the howling wind and rain, but I’m glad we did go, and it set me up right for the rest of the day. I am currently sipping on some bullet-proof coffee, my head is clear and I feel motivated to get through my workload (which never ends).
