A nice explore of the cliffs

12 Replies

On holiday in Portugal and well I couldn't wait for a run in the morning so popped out for a bit of an explore of the area and really enjoyed kind of trail running along and up and down the dirt tracks of the cliffs.

Fab, must do some trail running in blighty when I get home :D

Particularly like having my arms out for balance and the difference in movement to normal running.

Phil, you are missing wonderfully cool British mornings which are giving us all the best runs of our lives. and of course we aren't jealous. Brrrrrr.

I think the word is "postponing" rather than "missing" :-) I do like running in Autumn and Winter but I'll just have to put up with the heat :-o
