My First Ever Tourist Run πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

I am so happy to be able to say that I had a lovely holiday run by the beach in Portugal this morning. I’ve been dreaming about it for so long as it’s been 3 times that we had to reschedule. Funnily when we were first meant to go, I hadn’t even started C25K! So how wonderful to be able to pack my running stuff and be one of those people who runs by the beach first thing! 😊

It was a nice run, early, with a bit of a breeze which was needed. I was a bit anxious about running on cobbles, but it all seemed fine! I only saw men out running for some reason, and a few cyclists as well. I think I’ll stick to this route for the most part because it is seriously steep going back from the beach, and I don’t want to hurt anything on the cobbles. It will be really nice being able to run every other day too.

I just remembered this is my 100th run since completing C25K. One of the best, if not the best, things I have ever done. 😁😁😁

That looks a really nice place for a run. Err, crafty move that, delaying your holiday until you were ready to run there.

Thank you SM! Yes, I feel very crafty 😁, it is strange to think I had no intention of ever running when we booked it. 😊

Thanking you Ian! I madly thought I might be able to run to a castle at the top of a hill when I had a look online - but the hill’s pretty much at a right angle. And I am here to relax as well 🀣.

Thank you Linda! It’s just lovely to finally get away, and the travelling was really easy once I’d worked out what I needed to to. 😊
