I've been on a quick trip abroad to meet up with my sister and decided on a very early morning run due to the ridiculously high temperatures. My sister is fit (climber and slack liner) but not a runner. She said if she stopped I should keep going, but due to heat and not wanting to leave her behind I used Drill Sargent on Runkeeper to time a 30 min run.

Well, she matched me! We did 30 mins in the heat plus a long walk back due to not knowing the area and getting vaguely lost in the vineyards.

As Runkeepers times seemed shorter than Laura's I haven't regarded it as my final run up on to the podium, but a practice. Looking forward to my final run sometime this week...!

Saw this little guy on the walk back. A beautiful rhinoceros beetle.

I was so happy to get out of the heat and back to the cloudy U.K.!

What a super place to get lost! Well done you... and what a lucky thing to spot that little fella!!

I thought he was a stag beetle, but he was even better! Never seen one of those before
