Instead of getting up early to go to church, I went for a run! Luckily it is cool in the morning because I have to wear capris (or pants) with a kanga covering my derriere. At this point, I feel so self-conscious that I couldn’t even do just a half kanga because I felt like it shows too much by falling just above my knees. I went with a 2/3 – ¾ kanga but still felt a bit funny when it would fly up a little as I ran. While running, I noticed that the land does indeed slope up towards the mountain and that I am severely out of shape, especially for aerobic activity at this elevation. I assume the land slopes down going away from the mountain but it’s much less noticeable than when going up towards the mountain. Though I only ran for about 20 minutes around what is essentially my “block” (fields & school bordered by small dirt roads), I am sooo happy I finally got out.
The rest of my day kind of paled in comparison. The peanuts and banana bread didn’t come put so well (edible but not great) ad laundry really doesn’t have much appeal. However, I did carry 2 buckets at the same time today. This is less amazing if you think only about te weight. It is a more impressive feat if you think about the force on each hand from the very thin handles. Usually I switch hands on the way back but this isn’t possible if you have a bucket in each hand. Since cooking didn’t go to well earlier today, I made soup, which is nearly impossible to mess up. I love homemade soup. J
