Evening everyone.

Local holiday here in Campello, so after spending all day stuck in the house, I decided to explore the village where I’ve been living for the last 2 years. (I know where the bars are - that was as far as I got exploring wise when I moved here!)

Off I toddle, down past one of the beaches, and lightbulb moment! 💡 I’ll go and find the other beaches! Idiot. So many bloody hills!

So I visited all 5 beaches, walked around 4km, mostly in an upwards direction (no, I don’t know how that works - nor how beaches manage to be uphill) and now my legs are uncomfortable. They don’t hurt, but are a bit wibbley, and I’m now fretting that I won’t be able to do W5R3 tomorrow!!!! Idiot!!!!

Yes you will. Certainly you won’t know unless you try. I always think I’ll have a go and if not I’ll try again after a rest day.

You'll be fine - it'll stretch out those muscles - very envious of the location!

The picture is a bit misleading - there’s no way I could run to this beach, I swear it’s half way up a mountain....

What a gorgeous location. I hope your legs recover sufficiently for you to do your next run 😊
