Up early

Had a days work marshalling on saturday and so got up super early (for me) at half six to run. I was so glad I did, set me up nicely for the day!

The beach feels different at that time of day and it was a sheer pleasure to do seven miles along it and then up to the cliffs home.

Early morning view from Witches Point

Dawn on the rocks

I came, I ran, I saw, I went home

You cant fight a feeling and todays feeling was to ignore my holding pattern and run hard becuase my body told me it wanted to. I hit maximum flow(tm) almost immediately and as the weather was fine and the tide out I just let nature take its course. All of a sudden I’m running 7 minute miles on the sand without really noticing! After a while I eased off as I deep down I knew not to take too many chances but good to shake out the legs.

I saw some stuff too!

I saw a helicopter that did a lot of hovering

Perhaps they just do a lot of hovering practice

I saw people climbing at witches point

One fell off but sadly they had safety ropes

I saw the beach from the top of the ladders

For perspective the climbers are doing the safe routes at Witches which is the point at the top of the photo

I saw an even higher tunnel of rape seed oil

Pollen tunnel of doom

I saw what appear to be tulips growing wild (ok maybe big crocus I dunno)

All in all I ran some, I saw some and I came home happy. All you can do sometimes
