Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
The most beautiful run of my life. Or pretty damn close. Ran North along the coastline from the beach at Naplio to the next beach and almost to the monastery at the far end. 3 other guys from the conflict and political violence workshop ran with me and we chatted most of the way out. One was from Britain, one from Italy, and one from Greece. The shadows, the sunset, the rocky crags, the cliffs, the sea... there are just no words to adequately capture this breathtaking landscape. The trail is paved but the color of the cliffs and lined with pine trees. The cool afternoon breeze reminds me and the view across the bay remind me of The Oddessy and the sunburst breaks through the clouds in stunning shafts of light like messages from the Olympian gods.
