I didn’t run first thing today as we had a very long day on Ronda yesterday and we both decided to have a lie in.
I waited until after my siesta for it to cool down before heating the promenade.
This was a very different one to what I am use to hear as it was much warmer and there were lots of people and small dogs to avoid.
The run started with me passing a group at a table at the local restaurant where three men were trying to stop an old woman from choking on her dinner. I am sure they were successful but they weren’t there when I ran back.
It was hard going and I think all the extra work my feet and legs did in around Ronda yesterday in flip flops (no comment) really did put extra work into my legs.
I walked after 2.2k, had a short sprint but saw my heart rate was high (a combination of the heat and my breathing I think), so I found a more measured paced to run past the 4K marker (4.4k today 😃 ).
Towards the end of the run two young guys were playing with their dog and I thought they were throwing the dogs ball in my direction. I thought I was imagining it until they continued to do so when I was doing my stretches and also when I walked past to go back to the villa. Very quickly I realised they were a gay couple and were on the beach cruising! The dog was an obvious trick/decoy.
I got back feeling tired but elated that I finished the run and looking forward to a hot shower.
I headed straight in to go to the balcony to remove my sandy shoes. My vision was blurred due to my sweaty glasses and I didn’t see that plate glass door was shut. I walked straight into it leaving myself winded and a lovely sweaty imprint of myself across the glass door.
An eventful run but at least it’s done and I’m in one piece. Check out the stats on Strava.
Ouch! Well at least the outcome was only stained glass and nothing more eventful
