Today 8th November 2019, my friend Ramya and I together
set and achieved a target ,a WALKATHON from my apartment in Al
Khuwair to Qurum Hayat beach and back to Al khuwair covering
10.44 km
Started early morning at 5.30 AM dawn enjoying the beautiful weather, allée of trees on both sides of the road, watching those welcoming beautiful flowers ,well maintained roads without any trace of trash, picturesque landscape, everything looks perfect.
Felt an abrupt change in weather by a kind of drizzle touching our feet, but it was sprinklers which commenced their job of keeping the grass moist.
Between, need to cross the road to reach the destination. no one on the road , just two of us in the junction of four roads. It's a strange and happy feeling because daily we used to be surrounded by people , vehicles and the busyness of life but at this moment it was an experience of serene surroundings and tranquility.
Finally reached the beautiful beach by 6.20 AM. Felt a kind of achievement.
Sat on a bench relaxing and observing the beautiful Arabian sea and surroundings.
One Omani family arrived,spread their mat ,chairs and enjoying the good weather having Karak chai /Omani coffee, there are walkers, few joggers , everyone are in their own way of feeling content.
On the way back home, we had a delicious breakfast in the French Bakery!
Finally concluded the Walkathon reaching the apartment.
A perfect morning with my Friend Ramya !
This is a great "Ladies day out" idea! Isn't it?

ReplyDeleteBy this you don't even feel tiredness also..
Yes exactly!
ReplyDeleteYou have been to Oman for So many years , but the thrilling experience we can have in our daily surroundings is something which everyone should practice, walking with barefoot on your small home lawn also can give the same experience as alone on mountains, your tweak of daily walking to walkthon and making it a challenge teaches us the same lesson, keep it up and keep inspiring others Anuradha!
