Alpine Running

Cool running again at Lake Annecy..Pretty special running at altitude amongst the Alps! Annecy is a beautiful lake where Paragliders use the sheer cliffs to get their thrills! (check the photos very carefully)

Makes for beautiful running as well! We stayed in Dourset at the south end of the lake and I used the bike path to good advantage for some great runs!

Ash came along on a mountain bike and took some cool pics...My shuffling technique has been duly noted and I am now pulled into line whenever I am overly harsh on my 'critique' of random joggers!

Cool runnings

One advantage of prioritising travel is that you get to run in different places. Couple weeks back I was visiting family in Brighton and needed to run for 2 hours...I had already run west to Hove a few months back so decided to run east and see where that led.

It led along the sea front and to the 'Cliff walk' just past the Brighton Marina. A 4 1/2 mile sunday morning feast of blue sea white cliff walls and Brightonians out for their Sunday morning constitutional!

Just a magic kind of run! I almost ended up in Eastbourne and thought I might eventually find the white cliffs of Dover!

Maybe next time....

Nike Naked running

I've alwasy liked Nike running ads...Using John lennon's 'Instant Karma' with images of runners from around the world always got me motivated (love the images of Japanese runing in snow with white gloves!).

The latest ad is really pretty funny.
