Day 251-254 in Portugal by Sallycinn

My runs in Portugal were all on different terrains - track, trail, beach, hills or costal path.  Simply the best holiday ever.  We ran twice a day.  The hard session was in the morning and then a recovery run in the afternoon.  I tried to record all the runs, but sometimes only one of them so I did run more than it says. It was quite warm so in between we could have lunch by the pool and chill out before the next run. The food was great too, cooked by the coaches so really healthy and lots of it.  I was in heaven.

Run to the lighthouse.

Sunday - we ran 3 x 3km in the pouring rain.  Cold and the first speed session I've done in a long while.

Days 246 - 250 by Sallycinn

Oh dear - a bit behind my blogging.  In my defence, I have been busy.  I've been on holiday to Portugal on a running holiday which was fantastic.  Embrace Sports if you're interested.  I feel my running has really benefitted from some good solid sessions, running with people of all levels and abilities in the sunshine.  Brilliant.  Then I've been on a Lindy hop course which uses different muscles but is really good for cardio so hoping that will benefit my running too.  Now I've got to focus on running in prep. for Edinburgh.  I'm all set and ready to get those long runs in.  Firstly though, here's a catch up on a few minimum runs, my holiday runs and then a few post holiday.

A few minimums before my holiday...

Was hoping to do longer but woke up with a bit of a sore back :-(.Never mind still a decent distance. Have been thinking for a while need to get a massage so will sort that out and will be something to look forward to. 100 day mark drawing closer :-).

Another relatively early start to get a run in before more visiting. Always nice to run somewhere different just a shame couldn't be for longer.

Angie - Day 89 - 1.1 mile

Going away for a couple of days so just time to do the minimum. Really cold but sun shining again so hopefully weather will get better soon!

Just the minimum today as this week is leading up to my Wedding anniversary on Saturday and the rescheduled Forest of Dean Half on Sunday. Therefore nothing of note beyond the cold and lack of traffic in the 21 minutes on the road to home.

Prior to that though, it's always nice to see Mrs Pretty and family for coffee and I therefore used the homeward journey as an excuse to jump out of the car 3 miles from home and complete the minimum distance on the challenge.

Can't wait to have Katie home for a month on Thursday, lets see if we can get her out running?????
