Oh I do like to be beside the seaside... W9r2

We’re at the seaside for a couple of nights, so I’ve had a nice change of scenery for my run. Yes, I was going to go yesterday, but Mr Rainbow pointed out that actually today would work better in terms of the week, so off I went.

I don’t know why I find it so hard running along the seafront here, but for some reason it’s always a huge challenge, and today was no exception. I’m physically tired, and still mentally exhausted even though things are far better than last week. But I dutifully got ready and headed out (having made my choices for tonight’s takeaway!).

The weather was perfect for it - mild, light drizzle, and no wind at all, but that’s the main positive. It was just hard work all through - but I kept going, and eventually got to the end. Phew - that’s week 9 run 2 done, so the final run of the plan looms for Friday...!
