Though Mrs H had banned running activity whilst on holiday, I'd been sneaky enough to ensure I had kit to hand. The Nike watch made it, reasoning being its the cheapest watch I own, therefore most expendable. My regular trainers are a pair of NB runners, not ideal for me to run in as they lack fat man stability, but adequate. I'd also snuck some running shirts amongst my clothes, event t shirts are nice and breathable after all. Once I'd also added some Team GB shorts that doubled as swimmers, subtlety placed within our luggage was enough kit to allow for a run.
One run was all I wanted. No great distance, just enough to tick Africa as another continent conquered. So I slipped out of the room at 7am yesterday, the weather was cooler as we'd had overnight rain. I ran a 2.5k loop, first half on pavement, second on the beach. I stuck to the firmer parts of the sand, I had no intention of punishing myself!!
So there we have it, almost two weeks of rest. If jetlag is kind to us I might be parkrunning on Saturday, if not I have the option to enter a local 10k on Sunday.
