Been a bit hit and miss with the blogging recently, but I‘m still here. Back in London this week, so today’s run was the morning commute. Felt a little more energy after missing Sunday’s run and also getting two good nights of sleep. Really enjoyed the cooler
It’s kind of a love-hate relationship I have with this route. Straight out of bed it can be a shock to the quads and a little punishing, but it’s always worth it for the view from the highest point. Today’s sunrise was lovely. On balance, much more
91% humidity today, and though the sun is having a day off, that made this one feel a little sticky. Nice to be back running after a lazy week. lots of tourists here now so that route was much busier than usual. Out of season I often see one or
Easing back into it after a wonderfully chilled week, enjoying hotel amenities extending only to the restaurant and pool area, carefully avoiding the gym.

Bad night’s sleep so my plan to run 8 mile hills was abandoned in favour of a less time-consuming 5k, so I could be back for an 8am breakfast. I did feel tired this morning, but at least got it done - even if “it” was a different it.
A late night airport pickup meant running on less than five hours sleep - and I like my sleep! But it wasn’t as bad as I feared it might be. A warm one though with little breeze. The photo is of one of my favourite trees on this route
Tired legs today - feeling yesterday’s hills. A bit low on energy all round. Took two minutes to enjoy the view and eat a Nakd bar from the helipad in the marina. It‘s a lovely spot which I often have all to myself. Spotted three paddle boarders heading
