stations of the cross country run: episode 8

8km mark. 5:44 a.m. my favourite thing: pristine beach with no footprints in it. there's something nice about being the first to squash one's feet into the sand. but to do that you have be like hardy's heroine bathsheba everdene: "i shall be up before you are awake; i shall be afield before you are up; and i shall have breakfasted before you are afield. in short, i shall astonish you all” (from "far from the madding crowd"). also running is much easier on untrodden sand.

that's the first thing northern hemispherians notice about oz: how bright the light is. still doesn't excuse daylight savingst though.
