First, I ran 10.48 km with my partner, who is still fairly new to running. We did a mix of brisk walking and jogging in almost equal proportion, unlike my usual ratio of 1:3. Along the way, I exchanged greetings with a not-so-familiar young man who was also jogging. He said, rather quizzically, “You are not running today.” I smiled in return because we had already covered almost 8 km at that point. Since he saw us walking, he assumed I wasn’t running, which was fairly correct, though not entirely.
My point is this: he wasn’t a familiar face, but he had obviously been seeing me. I had a similar experience over a year ago when someone greeted me in an elevator at the hospital during my annual medicals and said, “I always see you running at so-so Estate every Saturday.”
Lesson 1: Whatever you do, or are doing, people are watching you, just so you know.
Lastly, the other half of the 22k was covered on Lagos Island while looking for some particular items in the market. Since we didn’t have a specific store in mind, we walked the Israelite journey that day.
Lesson 2: When you don’t know where you’re going, you spend a longer time.
Have a wonderful day.
Cheers!
