Marathon Training

I got up quite early and took Pepper, originally misheard as Piper, the dog for a walk. I had hoped for it to be a bit more of a run, but after doing an initial sprint with the dog, it started to want to sniff the ground more and spray every so often, it was a lovely dog never barking and also being incredibly excited about going for a run in the first place, It often didn't get to go for proper walks as the other dog Tiger, was a bit older. In the day went to the Waterfront and sorted out a mobile sim card, It was great to know I'd also managed to unlock my phone successfully, the power of the internet!The first message was my brother telling me I'd borrowed the wrong belt from him, and damage it at my peril, great!.The weather is great it's 28 degrees, and saw it was 7 in London and -7 in EdinburghAfter lunch went up table mountain, sadly using the cable car, so I think I might go and do it again by foot, something like 2h each way and it will also give me another chance to see the Rock Hyrax (Dassie), and also I'll know the layout of Cape Town better, so more interesting to see it from above. It had an amazing view from the top and think I was quite lucky with the weather as many time since then I've seen it quite often covered with ‘a table cloth' a.k.a cloud.The hostel 'A sunflower Cafe' was very nice in some ways -sheets, nice fridge, lounge, swimming pool and quite close to the beach(once you figured out they way), however, I was on a triple bunk, I didn't even know they existed!, at the top, and it was quite dingy, In the evening went out to the m-bar in the Metropole hotel which was really funky, with luxurious red seating and a good DJ, funky glasses, I thought it was well priced at the time at 14R(1.20stg) for a bottle of beer. Later went to Po Na Nah's, hadn't realised it was the one in the UK chain, and had a martini for 10R.The nice thing, was slightly nervous as I'd been told the Cape was quite a scary place, and compared to Somerset West, it was, but think as long as I don't get drunk and keep an awareness of my surroundings I should be ok- or it just youthful belief in my own immortality!
