Last weekend was a good weekend in East London. My boyfriend Tony came to visit me in East London for the weekend. He has been in Cape Town for several months and it was good to spend some quality time with him over the weekend in East London, before he had to return to where he is currently staying in Cape Town. What we did over the weekend in East London
So I did the Nahoon Point parkrun again. In fact, several times since the last time I wrote about it. One to go, then we take a rest from the parkrun, to take photos. The parkrun Saturday was remarkable, for its almost unremarkableness. It started, it finished. But it’s what happened before the start that made this particular parkrun remarkable…
What a day to do a Nahoon Point 5km parkrun. It’s raining in East London today, 4 April 2015, it’s Easter weekend, we were both a little chesty when we woke up this morning, we had to push the car to start, we were worried about running out of petrol as had no time to stop at a garage along the way, and we arrived with just 2 minutes to spare before the 5km parkrun started.

At my age, and my level of fitness, with my weight problem, even thinking of running should have …

As I sit here writing this I so wish I was one of the Elect Few who have no control over their working hours – being made to slave away at the whim of another. But no. I do control my Saturday morning activities. We made the decision to limit our Craft Market activities during the year, which automatically gave us Saturday mornings, free and clear.
After my 1st Nahoon Point parkrun I just had to do another. Now it’s 2 Nahoon Point parkrun runs down and many more to go! My first Nahoon Point parkrun was a week ago, the 136th one, on 14 March 2015, and this morning I did my second Nahoon Point parkrun, the 137th one.
