Tourist run #2.....

A short 4K this morning to start me off on week 6....getting ever closer to the big 10!! Set off a bit later this morning & boy could I tell the difference in temperature!! I snook out while everyone snored their heads off...the sun was up this time, the sunflowers lifted their heads towards their master & I ran along the main road, it was much busier this morning, I think I was passed by 15 cars, it was only about 6 last run so it was like the M62!!! There’s something special about tourist running....if you’re on holiday & you’ve forgotten your trainers, go & buy some, you’re missing out!! and if you’ve yet to set off on holiday, make sure your running kit is the first thing you pack!!!!! 😉 happy running my lovely family xxx

Looks absolutely lovely!! You’re so brave running along the roads! I only ventured out once when we were on holiday and ran around the villa complex!! I had visions of myself running every other day exploring the island but it wasn’t to be!!! 😂

Looks and sounds fabulous! Love those mornings when you can get out before anyone's up - such a lovely way to start the day.

Makes me impatient to be running in Cornwall next week!

MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toDebJogsOn

Oooo, lucky you DebJogsOn ...I went to Cornwall in my previous life, 2017 BR (before running) & when I think of all the gorgeous places I could run there now, it makes me want to go back just for a run!! It’s a bit of a trek from Yorkshire so I’ll have to wait until we go on a family break there again, you will enjoy it so much I can tell. I love starting the day with an early morning run...the feeling lasts all day. DaddyCav has got something sparkling chilling in the fridge for some ‘night before birthday’ drinks so I think, at this stage, my next run will be Sunday when I will have sussed out another route...you’ll be in running in Cornwall, enjoying the scenery beforeyou know it x

Crete - for 2 weeks on the 12th! Can’t wait but it will be very hot! I’ll have to be up before dawn for cooler temperatures I reckon! X

What’s the temperature in France? X

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toDizzysmum17

You definitely will have to be up and out before sunrise...it’s been 39 degrees here today & it’s to get hotter for the weekend...x

Dizzysmum17Graduate10 in reply toMummycav

Yes I heard there was going to be a huge hike in temperatures! We thought it had been bad here 😆- 39 degrees! That’s difficult to do anything in I should think. Beautiful views though - hope you have air con! X

MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply toPolly2810

Oh no?! Switzerland sounds perfect though, there’s a place I’d love to go to...& Austria...I want to sing ‘The hills are alive with the sound of music’ & twirl around like Julie Andrews 😍😍😍

Polly2810 in reply toMummycav

I’ll keep that in mind! Do a quick yodel!! 🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to it.

Watch out for french cyclists on your Sunday run. They seem to come out in packs and it's the survival of the fittest on trails and roads! Glad you are having such a lovely time.

Really??!! My next run will prob be on Sunday as my birthday shannanagins tomorrow will prob mean my head won’t be up for a run on Sat!!!! They’d better watch out for me, one foot out & it’ll be like an explosion in the bike section of Halfords!! 🤪

What great pictures and a wonderful post. My holidays start tomorrow and I plan on running ALOT! Can't wait. I don't have to pack my trainers, I left my new trainers on the boat for all my lake runs and use my old shoes when I'm stuck in town. It's going to be a wonderful 10 days ☀️🏃🏽‍♀️⛴🏖

Happy birthday mummycav, 🌻🎂🍰🥂🍾

It sounds like your having a lovely holiday in the Dordogne. I am looking out of our amazing wide windows while still in bed in Grasmere and all I can see is mist - the beautiful hills have disappeared. Down to Lancashire next...... 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️⚽️

I’m going to be spending a week in Staithes in September so will pack my trainers - if anyone knows any good routes up there let me know! I’m in Devon, just north of Okehampton so if anyone wants to know good routes around my patch just ask!

Lovely post and photos. That is the thing with this new hobby. it really does give a different perspective. I took my trainers down to Devon a couple of weeks ago. Had a lovely run long the dunes then back barefoot along the beach. Got rather hot so only one thing to do. Jump in the sea!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday

Mummycav profile image
MummycavAdministratorGraduate10 in reply tojohnm12

Thankyou...Sounds perfect johnm12 ....I bet the barefoot bit was gorgeous? And yep, nothing else for it but to jump in the sea. When I’m coming back from my runs I’m so tempted to go jump in the pool!
