Since Myron came to join our family I have only managed to get out once for a jog in the morning. No excuses, just how it is. On this particular jog I wasn’t feeling very fit, so took it quite slowly. Later in the day I saw one of my regular boda (motorbike) drivers. He said to me: ‘I saw you trying to run this morning. You were going so slowly. Why didn’t you just walk? I think you were even going as slow as though you were walking, I think you should just walk’.

Oh gotta love honesty, lol. My goodness, note to self, never attempt to jog if in africa. I am so super slow. I guess comments like those could make people really self conscious or challenged to be confident and at peace within themselves.
Very true! Although locals don’t really jog here. Not much need to. Women get plenty of exercise just going about daily life – they are toned! That 20L jerry can lifting is a little insane!
……oh upon reading it again, could that be his way of saying, ‘take it easy, be kind to yourself, it’s okay just to walk’ now that your a busy mum……?
Hmmm not so sure I would take it that way. It’s a pretty blunt local culture. He has said many other similar things for other contexts… we just roll with it 🙂
