I haven’t posted for a while because I have been really struggling to shake off the most horrendous cold. Still not fully fit, but I set myself the goal of running a 10k each month and, having had my race cancelled, was running out of time. Also, we spent an awful long time travelling yesterday so I was ready to stretch my legs. I had a look at the map and discovered that there was a promenade all the way along the beach into Ribadesella and round to a headland so, with the sun shining but not too warm, off I went. Shame I can only post one photo on here (more on Strava), but it is absolutely stunning. Never been to Northern Spain before and I love it. Anyway, not a record breaking time at 1:13 and, although it felt flat Strava says there was 197m elevation, which I find very hard to believe! May 10k in the bag. Now to walk back with Chris and Ben and find a nice little cafe and gaze out to sea. Have a great day 😃
May 10k along the stunning Asturias coastline - Bridge to 10K

Stunning backdrop Sandie! What a great 10k run, I saw the other pics on Strava too!
You have earned a nice breakfast, enjoy your day! 😎xx
Glad you are feeling a little better.x
Ohhhh look at that beautiful scenery Sandie, how wonderful! 😍 Hopefully the sea air will see off your cold once and for all. 🤞
Your ‘not fully fit’ time is still quicker than my PB, so no worries there speedy!! 😅😅
Great you fit your 10k run in before May runs out - got one planned for June? We’ll be in Brittany for 10 days or so mid-June. Looking forward to finding some pretty routes. 😀🏃♀️😀
I’m not sure what I was expecting but I have been blown away by the scenery, colourful coastal villages bustling with people even out of high season. It is all so alive. Just gorgeous ☀️ Not to mention that we had a 3 course lunch with freshly caught fish and a bottle of wine for €28 for both of us in Castro Urdiales yesterday. Bargain😃
I really envy you running on the North Coast of Spain, I remember my drive along there years ago. It is one of the most beautiful of places.
Hope the cold is gone now that you have hit the warmer sea air.
❤🙏
What a beautiful place! Our piece of heaven is the Isles of Scilly...only a couple of weeks to go before our next visit. Slight shortage of stunning mountain views but it has a lovely feel to it. Well done on the 10k. I managed a steady 7k today so on the way back up. Looking forward
Wow! Wish I was there rather than having spent the morning decorating the bathroom!😩 It looks and sounds wonderful and well done on your 10k. I had a horrible winter of illness and it's so nice when you feel you are at last getting back to normal. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!😀
Great run... and what a location! Elevation change often leaves me scratching my head after a run... maybe GPS lock didn’t quite nail 3D and so altitude was a little erratic, I think it needs 3 satellites to lock down location and 4 to be accurate on the vertical too (from memory.). Enjoy that cafe.
Oooooo gorgeous place and gorgeous run. Hope that flu finally goes for you but great time speedy you even with that lingering bug. Hope that cafe was good.
Such a pretty place to run! Great job getting out for a long run despite not feeling fully well and rewarding yourself with a wonderful brekkie 😋
Lovely area to run Sadie. We have travelled right along that coast, France through to Portugal....it is beautiful! Watch for the Eagles particularly if you are around the Picos 🦅....... fabulous!
Simply gorgeous..great run..stunning location...and a great time...just perfect!
Sorry to hear about your cold Sandie, and well done for getting out there. It looks a wonderful place to run.
Are you travelling around Europe in your campervan?
Beautiful! How lucky to be running in such scenic places whilst travelling! Your 10k time is the same as mine (not that I've run one recently 😔) and rather good if you were under the weather. Hope you're on the up now and enjoy Santiago de Compostela - on my list too!
Very envious! Looks amazing. I love running in a new place. Enjoy your holiday.
