Even when retired from working full time, you still need to geta away on a holiday. Just a week this time on a short trip to the north of the state to visit my now, non running younger brother & his wife.
He still had to work each day, but had his caravan down at the local caravan park, so it was a kind of holiday anyway.
The town is at sea level and the park was right next to the beach. Next to no vert during the week, just up and down the beach. Sometimes, when the tide was high, it meant soft sand, a tough challenge especially if the wind was against as well.
Low tide, perfect compact wet sand, and really good running bare feet through the water. Relaxing week, although I did miss not having a hill available to climb.
Back home today, Sunday, headed to the hills to get 20 kms done with 1,300 metres of up hill. Nice morning, sunny, mild temp, so hoping summer is here at last.
Still have 6 week until the first of the year's races which will be 50 kms mostly on beaches, so I did get some good training done for the expected conditions.
All good otherwise, being consistent is the key.
