I have just come back from a 3 week trip to South Africa where I had lots of family, friends and food time. Luckily for my waist line I also fitted in quite a few runs. Mostly trail running, with shoes, but also some barefoot runs and running with Xero sandals on farm gravel roads.
And this fitted perfectly with a month or so of down time after my marathon where the aim was just to have fun while running, and stop and smell the roses, sometimes literally!
This blog post is just going to be a pictorial of the amazing running in the mountains that the Western Cape, South Africa offers. Most of the runs where in Cape Town and Hermanus.
Typical paths in Upper Newlands Forest
Views over Table Bay
Great contour paths
The reservoirs on top of Table Mountain
Delicate Gladiola's
Typical Cape weather, even in Summer!
Morning mists coming in at Hermanus
Carnivorous plants
Sculpted Corner, Hermanus
Delicate yet tough flowers
A magnificent King Protea. Out of season and the only one seen!
