Tourist run 3, just for me

I left my daughter Dabby-dot and the rest of my family snoozing in bed in our holiday cottage this morning and headed off for the run I had promised myself yesterday. Thank you to all those who encouraged me to go for it and not worry about running on consecutive days this once.

It was wonderful. I reached the copse of trees on the horizon of the open moorland that I had seen in the distance at my turning point yesterday. The three panoramic photos are of this section of my run. The views were stunning and well worth the effort. The outward stretch was largely uphill through pasture and woodland with a few more gradual inclines in some places. My favourite section of the run was the open moorland at the top, the views were stunning and the breeze very welcome. Mindful that I have largely been doing intervals with Dabby for the past few weeks on her C25K, I eased into a walk on some of the very steep outward stretches, but I ran all the way back, covering 4.2k not counting warm up or cool down walks.

We’re heading home tomorrow, so my next run will be back on my home turf, although I’m now inspired to try some runs up on The South Downs.

Happy running everyone 😊🏃‍♀️🌳

Thank you Beatles. It was wonderful. I took a very happy selfie at the top but was completely beetroot faced so didn’t post it on here! 😊

Gorgeous holiday run! I yet have to experience the delights of running on my holidays in other locations but looking so forward to that. And those pictures and your report sound so brilliant!

[Hidden in reply to CBDB]

Thank you CBDB 😊. Tourist running is fun. It’s lovely to have a record and photos of runs in very different places.

It was a very memorable run. I wish I’d stayed longer at the top to hold on to that view.

Looks beautiful Dolly-dot and you did well to get out early today before it got too hot.. I’ve just been out with the dog for an hour, only walking though.. the first half along the Cleveland way cliffs here, and I was very glad of the shade on the cinder track for the return part of the walk..! Glad you’ve enjoyed your hols..😊

[Hidden in reply to PeggySusi]

We’ve had a lovely week and thoroughly enjoyed revisiting some favourite places and sharing them with our children. We will definitely come back for more hols ☺️

Oh wow! That's spectacular. The hills sound tough (I avoid at all costs) but if I got a view like that it would be worth it.
