Still Covid free and officially on holiday from work. Woke up this morning cup of tea in bed, discussion about a run and Willow put his jeans on! aren’t you coming with me? i asked, no i like running every other day, ok I’ll do an out and back from the front door, no he says I’ll drive you to the park and walk round, ok and off we go, as we drive over the bridge the car is filled with a horrible odour, I glance at him he glances at me and we both say it wasn’t me 😇 get to the park uh oh, when i opened the door we realised the wind is blowing the whiff from the sewage plant right across the park eewww it was gross. Seafront it is then, so we drive to the other end of town where the prom is wide and flat, walk towards the pier 5 minutes, I set watch off and run, I did the NRC 30 minute bad advice run again because due to daughter and dog i didn’t listen to it all yesterday,

I love the seafront, even on a grey day at high ish tide, 3k ran walk back to the car, 30 minutes up and here’s a pic my friend took while walking at sunrise while i was still asleep.

Enjoy Monday whatever you’re doing

Never more jealous than hearing the radio banging on about fab sunrise pix on social media…and I look out my east facing window to thick cloud ☁️ 🤨

Another fab run for you…good choice to avoid your smelly park for some sea views…plus I love the sound of waves on a shingle beach 🌊

Enjoy your holiday!

Thank you, I’m taking it one day at a time in case i have to go in to work but it’s great being off, by the time I get out it was grey sky darker grey sea but a great place to run, my friend does a lot of walking and gets up early but she’s retired so not exhausted like me 😀

No sometimes you get a whiff but sometimes the whole area is gross

Those are long days. I can imagine you're ready for a break.

We’ve done so well this is our first outbreak of covid and it’s stressful so yes the break is very welcome

It’s not even the sewage that smells so bad it’s that awful dead meat perfumy smell that they use to disguise it or try to, it’s gross

I was almost smelling something... 😂. Luckily you could go to the seafront and run there instead. Well done and enjoy your holiday!
