...look at this guy: The Coati is more commonly known as a "nosebear" and it makes for pleasant surprises when you see it roaming the woods. Like the pelican, giraffe or sea-horse it is a genuinely humerous animal. Coatis usually appear in groups of, say, a dozen individuals and they stick their noses into everything, swaying it left and right like a metal detector. They look young, sociable and curious, possibly bored but definitely with too much time on their hands (or up their nose). I would not trust any of them in a chinese pottery store.
Yes, escaping the runny noses of wintertime Vienna we spend a beautiful holiday in tropical Costa Rica! Between slothing it out in a hammock, straying through rain forests and omnivorous visits to open-air restaurants, running Coati-style all over the place was one of my favorite pasttimes. Running in a new place is great, as it provides you with adventure, serendipity as well as a physical and geographic sense for where you are. Running along empty beaches, for instance is a great way to realise the non-existance of "empty"- crabs frantically running away, birds running back and forth with the waves, Iguanas moving like living statues - all this multitude, strangeness and change of scenery!
I did not actually count any distance, but just now when I estimated my December training data I was surprised: Very slowly I ran more than ever. Getting lost and following the nose is key! Do the Coati!
