After 2 long days of traveling and hotel stays we have arrived at our accommodation for the next 10 days.
I woke early on the first day, something I was hoping I would do so I could get a run in before Stu and Suzie woke and the day began. I had already planned to go out on a run down to the front, which I’d pre checked the night before whilst going for something to eat. I needed to stretch my legs and wake them up after sat in the car, I had been way too lazy the past few days.
The sun was already starting to rise and I could feel it was going to be a hot one so wanted to get out before it was too hot. So quick fruit and yogurt and cup of tea, creeping around and catching the kettle before it whistled so I didn’t wake anyone, before pulling on the Tikkis.
I ran down to the entrance of the camp, passing the que at the just opened bakery doors, the smell of fresh pastries and bread was amazing and I could feel my belly rumbling already. I told myself if I wanted to indulge I definitely needed to have run!
I turned right out of the camp the way we had walked last night and headed along the shops, past the early market traders setting up stalls for the day and through the restaurants onto the sea front. It was so much prettier than it looked last night now I could see it in the day light. With the beach freshly plowed (not sure if that’s the right term) and the sea so calm twinkling int he sun light.
I ran along the path of the well kept sea front taking in the views of the sea and the fresh air. There were several other runners out this morning which was nice to see. I did stop for a few cheeky pictures but who could resist with views like these!
I ran up and down the front leaving the way I had come, I am a bit of a whimp at exploring places that are unfamiliar especially when alone but knew as the week went on I would find other entrances and exits out onto the main roads.
Back to the camp past the amazing smelling bakery again, I knew Stu had already said he wanted to take Suzie to choose pastries when she woke so I refrained from stopping off, knowing it wouldn’t be too long before I would have a treat I could enjoy on the decking whilst starting my new read. Really looking forward to reading this book as I had read reviews and heard it was inspirational, also hoping it may give me a few helpful hints and tips in recuperation for what is coming over the next months.
Not the furthest distance Ive ran but my aim over the holidays was just to keep up the exercise so my legs didn’t lose what I’d built up and so I could enjoy some delights with out pilling on too much pounds!
Just in case you were wondering Suzie did make that trip to the bakery! 🙂
My aim was to run three times a week but as we got into second week the days started getting hotter and I got up later so it turned out twice a week (4 times over the 10 day stay) Bit annoyed at myself but its better than nothing and I would never have dreamed I would be packing running gear in my holiday bags, now it is an essential. It really is amazing how it becomes an addiction.
