What to do on a running rest day? With the big day looming I have to run or laugh or beam. Life bursting my seams. Keep lid on. Jump in the pool, trim the lawn at 5 am? Took my coffee and crunchies to the planet conjunction – intimate now are Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars. We chatted, I basked in their eye-full, dream-full. If this is training Comrades I don’t want it to stop. Maybe I won’t run this year and keep training for next year.
