Fourth day, fourth friend, fourth run

An absolutely beautiful late afternoon for a run with Roger, a good friend of many year. In fact, Roger was on my support crew for my very first AR (we met via a teammate), a 250km in the Glengarry area of the Drakensberg. Roger was on my team a few months later for the Cederberg 500km. This was in 1999.

Roger has lived overseas in Scotland for a good 7.5 years now; he landed in SA last week so his timing was spot-on to be my running buddy this week. What better opportunity than a lovely run to catch up on news and plans?

We took a nice jaunt around the 'hood, trip-trapping down towards Gilloolies. Place is sadly quite neglected, except for the 'weekend picnic' part. Still, the park is very green and we saw lots of ducks. Our road section took in a mix of busy and quiet roads made pretty by the Pride of India (Crepe Myrtle) trees in bloom.

Roger - so super to see you and I look forward to another run before you set off again ;)
