Second outing of Week 1

I keep getting little health setbacks following my Christmas Present of sepsis, so a three week gap between Run 1 and Run 2 of Week One on the comeback trail. But this time was just a tadge easier, and the pesky inevitable headwind was a fraction kinder. So 2.77 miles in Laura's 31 and a half minutes alongside a radiant and glittering Irish Sea on Douglas Promenade. #AvoidingHills. Savouring the afterglow of exercise an hour later makes all the huffing, puffing and sweat worthwhile

What a running location... :)

It takes me back to University days and heading from Liverpool to the TT races! One of my best friends was from Douglas...

Go you... well done... I think a pikkie would have been lovely too .. the view sounded splendid:)

I'll get a picture next time - are you a biker? (I have been all my life and ride most days - its compulsory over here.) What years were you at the TT? And almost bound to know your friend if they are of a certain age......

I wish I was a biker!!

No..just great fun going over from University and watching the action and hanging out there:) Happy days!

I am very, very old.. so it was between 1968 and 1972 :) My friend was a teacher in Douglas I think.

Golden years, and sometimes wild years of the TT. I could tell a lot of stories of those days. If you could name the teacher I would almost certainly know them.
