running at tokai

I went for a long run at Tokai forest this morning. Nothing beats the fresh cool shade, and the smell, of a pine forest. Combine that with nice views and it becomes difficult to stop running. So I've got a little pain in my right lower calf / achilles at the moment, from running a little too long. I "iced" it by standing in the sea for 15 minutes on Kommetjie beach...

It's sad to see that the senseless slaughter of innocent pine trees continues. The forest is looking a lot thinner in some areas. I honestly still can't understand why they can't share the area with other forest users. Divide the area into segments, leave some pine. And convert some to the same old boring stuff that already covers most of the mountain, smells like nothing, and provides no shade.
