The pros and cons of running abroad
I have
run In a few countries now. It is always an interesting experience. The change
of terrain, the different weather, etc.
You also get some great sites and views; I have finished a marathon in
an Olympic stadium, I have crossed the finish line outside of the Colosseum,
run through slate mines in north Wales and jogged over a beach in the south of
France will the sun went down beyond the horizon. What I have never
experienced, until Malta was the full on car sex experience. As I turned around
a bend to get onto the seafront stretch of a landing, there sat a small, white
Vauxhall Corsa. Only as I got closer to
the car did I notice what was occurring inside, as the lady's head began
bobbing up and down, for me to realise there was a gentleman's head underneath
as the sudden realisation that, at 9:30am, in Malta, on the seafront the couple
were without clothes attempting to increase the population while I went past.
As I have
said, I have seen many sights and many things running. Some good, some bad.
Some will live in the memory and some will not. It is not for me to decide what
my mind chooses, so we'll see where this memory stays and for how long.
I can
only presume it is the water as two days later I turned right, instead of left
and hey presto, as the sun set I thought I’d stroll onto the rocky beach
and drink in the view and ponder. It would appear the kissing couple thought
they would do this too! I discreetly and quietly turned around and ran off in
the other direction!
