The couple that jogs together.......

......get tired together!!!

Went for a, err, romantic sunset jog along the beach last evening with herself. I hadn't been there in the dark before. She held my hand for a while, so I wasn't too scared!!!!

The 70 or so huge tankers that you can usually see anchored off-shore were all lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. That, coupled with the airplanes (like flying Christmas trees!!) on final approach to the nearby international airport, made for a pretty nice vista.

Didn't make the jog any easier though!

No mention of the dodgy knees, that's the excuse I always hear when i suggest you go on a skiing holiday

Now that you mention it, my knee was sore today! I don't think I should have been jogging on concrete. I wasn't going that fast, but maybe it's best avoided.

I also avoid skiing because of my cold feet problem and also because of a more general "spend more time on my ar*e than anywhere else" problem that I have with any balancing sport! Diarmuid will remember with amusement my brief foray into windsurfing!

Herself is keen to try rollerblading along the dedicated path for it along the beach. I am not keen as it's much sorer to land on tarmac than water/snow!!

I have just bought a set of rollerblades and have had one lesson, it is great exercise and is lowish impact, go for it.

Might give it a lash here so. As mentioned before, they have dedicated paths here along the beach and you can get quite a head of steam up! I hope they have size 11 in the rental place!
