Week 3 run 3 in Athens at 7am

I'm still on holiday and I got up at 7am ON MY HOLIDAY to go for a run. Unimaginable. It's quite hot here so it was worth the early start. Am I the only person who can't find the Acropolis in Athens? It was all uphill and I got lost, but I kept running very slowly, with Oldfloss's wise words ringing in my ears, so I was fine. Getting lost meant I had a nice long cool down.

Week 4 here I come!

Nope they hid the acropolis when I was there last April, we went up a back way and ended up in someone's garden. And I am convinced it was called Acropolis Way....

But what a great place to complete W 3

teehee - some of my fave posts on here are of the "I can't believe I went for a run AT FIVE AM / ON MY HOLIDAY / IN THE ****ing RAIN" etc etc. How this programme hooks us! Sounds great despite losing an entire historical site!
