Surreal Running

Tonight I went on a run with my Dad, but it wasn't the usual scorching run in the sun. Day light savings had finished so we left with a pink sky and ended up coming home in darkness. Today our route took us along Whangaparaoa Road, to Big Many Beach and looping back around Manly and The Circle, through the Manly Bowling club and up the steep Browns Walk leading back again to Whangaparaoa road.

Running down on the beach there was a pink sky with swirls of white clouds. The pink from the sky reflected on ocean creating a calm sea of pink. I didn't feel tired at all running, it was as though i could go on forever. The usual sun wasn't out blinding my eyes and shinning on the water. The whole scenery felt so dream like, it all felt so surreal, like I was in a trance.

Continuing to run around Manly it was getting dark and before I knew it, it was pitch black. Street lights scattered here and there and the tiny glimmers of stars were the only sources of light. It felt like I was back in India, when me and my best friend would go to the park at night time.

When I reached home and finally stoped I didn't feel that tired, it was a very bizarre run, surreal running.
