    And the pedestrians don't walk in the cycle lanes - I thought Greece was in anarchic turmoil :D
    They were pretty well behaved about the cycle lanes. Well apart from the odd police motorcycle going along it as well.

    The place is totally covered in graffiti, presumably most of it will be slagging off Germany, the economy and similar, but with their funny alphabet I can't make any kind of guess.

    Was throwing these up on my log so thought I'd throw them here too. This is Port Beach near my house, and the road you can see in one of the photos I run on nearly every day. I'm really spoilt, the road and the beach go on for nearly 3 miles.

    The gateway to the woods in Cong.
    4.5 miles of trail all the way to Clonbur. Have run out and back without seeing another soul along the way :)

    Been out scaring the locals with my running in just shorts and BoardsAC tshirt for a lovely evening. Seems the locals think it's a bit chilly as they were all in their winter gear:

    I often do intervals from the carpark to the slip road down to the beach on the other side of the white cottage and recovery back along the beach. Love running along there its so quiet but I live in the village so usually run around there or on little strand.
    Lovely photos:)

    Yeah it's really lovely down there. The strange thing is after all the years I've been running down there I think I've only ever met about 5 people running on that road, I usually have it all to myself! :)

    Your very lucky, was camping up in Cong last year and got a run in around the woods in Cong during one of the mornings. Really enjoyable and lovely place.

    Had a nice jog along the Thames path as a recovery from the VLM a few weeks back. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn on the way back and ended up along side a busy A-road ending up with me having to run around a roundbout that had no pavement :o

    Occasional weekend run route for me. Dún Aonghasa in the distance (Inis Mór). Nice hill run with a view out over Galway Bay on one side of the hill and this view on the other.

    actually, does anyone know when the boardwalk went in around the fairy castle ? And the section of the DMW from the Fairy Castle to where it meets the WW has been completely overhauled - it's now the standard raised path made from crushed rocks with the occasional boulder. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to run/walk on. I was up there on 20th April and there was no sign of any work done (or impending work).

    It went up between May 5th and 13th. On the 5th, that path that meets the WW and up to the castle was half built with a digger half way up. The old path was still but all the bog was churned up.

    I was up there 8 days later and the path was complete, boardwalk around the castle and no sign of the digger, it was like it was helicoptered out of the place.

    Agreed, it's very easy to run up now. It makes a nice recovery run. One section is a bit tough on the ankles but it's most easy trail running now

    Today in Seattle its grey, cloudy and wet.

    So i'll be on the treadmill...

    They just finished building this running track (around a football field) in a park right next to my apartment in Seattle and I've been enjoying using a measured 400 metre distance from time to time. Its only about 15 feet wide but its never very busy.

    IMRA run (hill run) up Djouce yesterday evening. I was summit marshall...so I ambled up at leisure :)

    I really enjoyed the couple hours up there :)

    Roundwood reservoir. It was quite hazy and sharp snaps with my point & shoot seemed to be out of the question.

    Shadow of mountain top is lengthening. The line of runners can be seen emerging from the wood just right of centre. Start and finish were in far part of that wood.

    Not a picture of pretty countryside admittedly, but no better thread for it. So here's a photo of where I was warming up for a race today in some posh building in London with the elites:

    All the elites that I saw yesterday were tiny. If you stood Freya Murray and Mara Yamauchi on Mo's shoulders I still don't think they would reach 6 foot tall combined.

    Freya Murray looked as if she had escaped from nursery school she was so small.

    That was my first thought when I saw the pic. It's something we forget I think, just how light most of the elites are. Mo's head and shoulders look unnaturally small there.


    Maybe Robin is a bit of a bruiser though.

    Staying in Ravello, Italy which is a town at the top of a cliff. Means that I have no choice but to run hills :(

    This is about half way down:
    7943746706_61f93b4cc7.jpg

    Then going down some steps along a narrow "street" I met three horses coming the other way, not quite quick enough with the camera:
    7943762508_cfc100e8d3.jpg

    Then I finally got down to Amalfi, where I started is somewhere over the top of that cliff:

    Ticknock is about 1 mile south of the M50, just past Sandyford Village. It's a forested area on the side of Three Rock and has paths and trails leading to Three Rock, Kilmashogue, Ballyedmunduff. Also has a pretty impressive MTB trail

    This mountain is out my back window. A permanent fixture on the horizon. The good weather made it too good a target not to try. Cycled, trudged and ran a bit each way to the top. Great, if a bit wet on the feet.

    Pic 2- lone hill in centre is Tara Hill, a Marilyn between Arklow and Gorey, the small hills to the right are probably what's left of Arklow Rock. Anything else is just clouds, but don't let that stop you aiming for them ocnoc:)
