laughing and a running hey hey by aphid

Again took my running gear for a lovely holiday - but this time actually managed to get it out of my luggage, if only once. Had a good but rather sweaty treadmill session in the gym at the Grand Hyatt in Cairo.

Otherwise had excellent holiday -  a few days in Luxor doing the hisory and culture bit , then a few days at red sea doing the obvious , then cairo for 2 days ( pyramids and stuff) then home. Best thing about Red Sea was swimmimg with a huge 6ft sea turtle which came in to feed off the beach each morning. It is a well kept  secret as the locals , to their credit, dont want it bothered by the tourists. We came across it by accident. The kids were blown away. 

As this is a running blog and not a what I did on my holidays blog back to the subject in hand. Did 4.5 miles today - gorgeous crisp morning and reasonable pace. I think the winter will be focussed on shorter pacier possibly hilly runs with some effort on core fitness. So much easier to write than do ....time will tell.

Oh...and I am still pinching myself that I went to see Green Day. I may be a sensible professional middle aged mother of two but I just LOVE that band. A poor mans Clash maybe, but we had the best night...
