This morning I did an awesome run with the boys in Newlands forest. Four experience extreme jogging campaigners and a newbie... Brian Lindsay. Brian got into the groove quickly with some banter and strong running on the hills. Not so sure about his obsessive selfie taking, but well, at least I have some dodgy photos of myself now. We did the standard 10km route and it was amazing as expected.
