Well done to Fergalus and Lilytoo for your endeavours.

5m recovery today in a stiff breeze and slight chill.  Got chased by a tiny King Charles Spaniel puppy.  Cute yet annoying at the same time.

Let's be sensible here, it was warm, not hot

Similar conditions today for a 7 mile GA run.

5 miles fast run today.  Warm and humid, sweated like a garden sprinkler.

Last but one run was 5 miles down the side of a harbour on Crete in the beatuiful morning sun.

Last one was 6 miles easy in the cold a wet of Bury.  Harumph.

I've just got back from Crete.  Had every intention of running 3-4 times in the week I was there but actually only managed one run.  It's as safe as running anywhere else.  I ran down by the harbour in Agios Nickolaos and it was stunnning compared to my usual runs in Lancashire.

I was out at 8.00am and even thought it was quite cool for May and especially cool compared to the summer months, I was sweating like a loon by the end.  If you go, i'd go early.
