A Simple Run

A Simple Run

Tonight, I’ve had a lovely, straight forward run.

Nothing fancy, no distractions, just a run. It’s great, when you just have a brilliant run.

I was enjoying the smell of the sea air, with its tang of ozone, and salt.

I was able to enjoy the tranquility of the harbour:

And I even took time to enjoy the flowers, some still enjoying the sunshine, and hanging onto the summer for as long as possible:

While elsewhere I could see some signs of the season beginning to change:

All in all, it’s really beautiful here, I’m really lucky:

Hello, Happy Monday!

I’ve had a fantastic weekend!

Saturday was a girl’s day out with my sisters and my mum: we hit the town, with a trip to Glasgow’s West End, and had tapas at Cafe Andaluz. It was amazing!

Sunday was KAD’s 5th Birthday party. Since the weather was brilliant, we spent the whole day outside, and had a ball. I thought you might like to meet the Magnificent Seven, since I’ve been talking about them all week:

There were presents….

I also won a comp this weekend, over on RunEatRepeat and I’m so pleased! It’s an identity bracelet for runners, and I’m planning to order it tonight. It’s from CrossTrainID so I’m heading over there now to take a look. 😀

Today, it’s back to training. Six weeks to go until the Great Scottish Run 10k, and so the Nike Training Plan has begun, with a 3 miler. Bring it on!

Today’s Stats:

Run: 3 miles, and it felt good to be focused again!

Time: 32:22, nice and slow

Weather: Cloudy with some sunshine; warm

Trainers: Nike Lunar Glides
