So the holidays started officially yesterday and so I ran despite the torrential rain. I mean it was stair-rod stuff, cats n dogs, pissing it down. You know the drill. So I only did the beach and back as by the time I got there I was like a drowned rat and didn’t fancy dying of hypothermia running along the exposed beach despite it being july – its still Wales!
Wait whats that in the distance braving the storm#spottedthehelicopter – A chinook in fact. Just noticed you can see the rain falling in the photosThe path to the beach becomes a river but everythings so so so green!
So after saturdays cut short run it looks like just a blip caused by some sort of bug. I wasn’t going to run on sunday but really wanted to get a few miles in purely as I knew I’d feel better after it. So a quick 4 miles around the cliffs and I’m happy to report that the snot levels seems to indicate some sort of cold. This has been backed up by a feeling of general blurgh today. So a few days rest is called for, give the old bits n pieces time to rejuice.
I took it easy on sunday and stopped to take some photos of the waterfalls in the woods which normally I hammer past on a downhill.

As you can see from the stream we had some serious rain overnight which made it a nice muddy, squalchy run.
