First day, first friend, first run

What a treat! This evening I ran with Dane, a friend I know through parkour. Actually, to clarify, Dane is very much 'Mr Parkour' in South Africa - the person very much behind the sport here. Aside from being an exceptional traceur and athlete, he runs workshops, training sessions, parkour forums and website, jam sessions, features in tv ads and movies (stunts and parkour)... Ja, he's good.


Dane came through to meet me and I took him on a super scenic run through the suburbs around home. We had rain earlier in the afternoon but is held off to award us with the most beautiful evening and perfect running conditions.

The glorious thing is that I have no idea how long the run took. Maybe 90 minutes? Time does fly when you're having fun ;) We chatted the whole way, catching up on months of news, waxed the hills (lots of them on this route) and enjoyed the views (expansive from up on the ridge).

Dane, thank you for this lovely run ;)
