Week 8 run 1

Failed to get up in time yesterday for this run as the 2 hour time difference and being tired after the late flight did for me. However I set the alarm for 5 this morning laid out my gear last night and away I went this morning. It’s much flatter here than at home, no big hill to negotiate, but a bit of a pull on the way back. The temperature was great, and I enjoyed the run. I missed faithful spaniel, but for part of my run a friendly husky trotted alongside of me, and I surprised a couple of chickens along the way. I managed to pass two Cypriot men out walking armed with big sticks, I gave them a cheery hello and they waved their sticks in greeting! Well I think they were waving.

I’ll do this run again on Thursday, I’m not breaking any speed records here, but I’m out and about and enjoying it.

Good luck to all us week 8 folks and the newbies!

PS war widow I won’t be running up these hills anytime soon!

It looks lovely. Prob best to have given yourself the extra day. I suspect it wouldn't have been a great one after the travelling.

Have fun absorbing some rays 😎 and entertaining the locals 😉
