Nestled under the shade of large Mango Trees on the southern slopes of a hillside on the Makhundu Farm are the Logs. The logs are cut from various species of trees on the farm. The founder Member John Granville cut most of the logs himself. John's ideas which he got from family living in Ofcalaco, was that running friends meet every Friday for a short run 5km or say up to 10km once the runners get fit. Cyclists and walkers are welcome to join in the fun. When we all meet at the end of the run,cycle or walk. Your thirst is quenched with a good beer.(much debate over that one). Last week Friday 18 May was our first logs run. The logs for that run were placed in Peter and Louise's horses round pen. This scared the horses a bit when the fire was lit and it was decided to move the logs position a little further down the hill to its present location. The first run had the mad runners John, Merek, Ian and myself running a course around the hillside over some very rocky terrain. The route was decided by the highly fit Ian, much to concern of Merek who has not run in 10 years. Kathleen with Jessica in tow and Ben went for a cycle. The elders of the party Wicks and Jill went on a brisk walk, protected by the ever vigilant guard dogs Silwane and khulu(explanation of the name later). Once back at home base we were joined by our friends and family to help us quench our thirst by consuming vast amounts of Windhoek, OK!! and BlackLabel. As the fire died down to coals, snacks were seared on the grid and enjoyed by all. We all had to listen to Merek moaning about how stiff he was going to be. Kathleen had to remark that she liked a stiff man!!! Something John reckons will always remind him of his first ever LOGS. Thanks to all for making the first logs an enjoyable evening. Thank You John Granville.
