Not the good kind of Aha moment... but a must-read if wellness is of any importance in your life. Which it should. #plastic #plasticpollution #cadmium

Amped dot com! The highlight of the local #trailrunning year for many. ❤️ #Otter2020

So happy that the Otter African Trail Run - my highlight of the #trailrunning year - has gone ahead (with the necessary #Level1 safety measures in place). 🎉 Wishing everyone running the 42km Challenge (11h cutoff) today the best of days. Otter.run #otter2020

It’s 7am and we have a lift-off! Good luck to all running today’s Otter African Trail Run 42km Race. This is the Abangeni (Xhosa for The Challengers), the top 24 finishers in yesterday’s Prologue. The 4-up batches behind start in 30-sec intervals. #Otter2020 #RETTO Garden Route National Park

A must-watch: Making sense of our global political situation (chaotic by design), and how media education has countered it in Finland. #racism #xenophobia #democracy #DDNews

Well, that's decided then.

MANTRA: I choose a life of adventure. I CHOOSE a life of adventure. I choose a LIFE of adventure. I choose a life of ADVENTURE. I choose a life of adventure. I choose a life of adventure. I choose a life of adventure. I choose a life of adventure. (Repeat)

Throwback to last week’s Otter African Trail Run. This is why you may need to DOUBLE the time you *think* you can run a 42km trail when you attempt #ottertrailrun. 😅 #thegrailoftrail #otter2020 #ottertrail 📸 Deon Braun Ⓥ Jeff Ayliffe Jacques Marais Garden Route SA

Just do it. 😉

Hiking is a natural offshoot of our love for #trailrunning. But BOOKING #hiking trails is mostly PAINFUL! So I'm SUPER happy to see a local website making it easier to find and pay for trail bookings. My review: trailmag.co.za/afritrails-hik… #promoted

If we're lucky, we love Work. Beyond making a living, we work to make the world a better place, to leave our mark on it. But there comes a time to think beyond work. Yes, I mean #FinancialFreedom. Here's my experience getting there bit.ly/financially-fr… #FIRE #finance

My latest essay – Lessons from a Racist – is on Medium. It's 1985 in #apartheid #southafrica. A hitch-hiker, a racist, and a guitar player meet on a dark road in Zululand. #racism #military bit.ly/lessons-racist…

Why Journal? Developing a daily habit of writing/mind dumping may be the best way to sharpen your focus and resolve challenges that you're battling to resolve in the realm of your mind only. A short (4 min) article to inspire you. open.substack.com/pub/deonbraun/…

I've been playing a spot of #chess. The bots currently rate me Advanced Beginner ie easy to beat. But anyway, I'm having fun. As the games went by, the similarities with real life became apparent. So I wrote about it. open.substack.com/pub/deonbraun/…
