Day 3: Lost in Ibiza

RUN: 3.1 miles

Today we decided to tackle the steep hill on the opposite side of Cala Llonga bay to where where staying (Fiesta Cala Llonga). Except we couldn't find the steps that we can see from our hotel... so we turned back and did the Day 1 route backwards. Much better - tackling the steepest hill first and then gentle downhill (mostly) for the rest of the way. 3.1 miles overall.
Here's a pic I took of the empty beach as a jogged past...

It´s been quite a bit warmer the past two mornings than on Day 1. Maybe we´ve been slightly later setting off and those few minutes make all the difference.
We've seen quite a few people running in the midday heat over the past few days. They must be mad. Any later than 7.15 and I´d be collapsing I'm sure!
Might try a shorter run tomorrow because my shins are suffering a little bit.

Day 2: A hot morning in Ibiza

RUN: 2.6 miles

Hola! Got up at the crack of dawn again today (well, 7am) and took a different road out to another bay.
I took a pic, which I´ll post when I get home. It was beautiful.
I did 2.6 miles and it was WARM! Very sweaty and much harder work than yesterday.
It does feel good to be out and about early, though (although we were still beaten to it by all the cheeky sunbed reservers and their pesky towels!)
Here's me on the start line. These are not the clothes I ran in, obviously (!) it's just to show where it all started.

Race For Life - (almost) made it in 30 minutes

This morning was Race For Life time and the weather was lovely in Ilkley.
I managed to drag my (very hungover) friend Emma to the park to join all the other ladies all dressed in pink for 10.30am. Which was a victory in itself.
Then we set off, around East Holmes Field, down Denton Road, up to Nell Bank and back again.
I did another non-stop run, which I was quite pleased with. I was aiming to finish within 30 mins, but missed my target by a whole 19 seconds. Ah well.
Emma made it back in 34 mins - quite an achievement after a whole bottle of sparkling wine and a very late night.
The weather was so nice I even got a little bit sunburned. Oops! Another lesson learned.
Here's the proof I made it:
