Sunrise run

[SJ60]

I got up earlier this morning for my run but it was still really humid even at 8 o’clock. The sunrise was so pretty. I shoved a mask on my face ready for the warm up walk, grabbed a water bottle and made for the front door. The humidity hit me as I left the cool air conditioning in the flat but I wasn’t going to let a gremlin talk me out of my run. There were a lot of dog walkers out this morning and also a lot of police ready to pounce with an instant fine of 100€ minimum if they catch you without a mask 😱 luckily I had started my run before they looked my way. They called across to make sure I had a dreaded mask so I waved my arm in their direction, mask flapping at my wrist 😇. I plodded on into the next village, went round the statue in the square and headed for home. I had just done my 30 minutes and was about to commence my walk when I saw another pair of policia on mask patrol. Eeek! I’m waaaay too hot to put a mask on but I’m tired. Heat won and I ran an extra five minutes just so I didn’t have to wear my mask the minute I stopped running 🤣 Run done, no fine and a lovely cool swim all before 10 o’clock on a Sunday morning on holiday! Never been done before 🙌

Spain...two and a half weeks followed by two weeks’ quarantine. I thought I’d better run here as I won’t be able to during quarantine 😱🤷‍♀️

I went to Dubrovnik and had to quarantine for 14 days but i still went out in the evenings for my runs in the nearby woods. This is all too much nonsense. Well enjoy your time away.... still the same here in the UK! Same headlines in the papers... i dont think anyone takes any notice.... 😉

Lovely photo, and sounds like an enjoyable run, apart from the mask police 🙄 feel sorry for you having to run in a mask, totally pointless exercise as with most of the rules put into place that don’t stand up to questioning. Good on you though for getting out there 👍

Well done! 👏👏

Looks a lovely, if not very warm place to run
