The annual Chopwell Boxing Day score was moved to some dodgy country park this year, and in protest the family decided to give it a miss. Instead, we drove to the coast and I went for a run along the beach while Mum and Dad went for a walk. I haven't run along the coast anywhere near enough, and it was only a shortish drive to get there.
10 minutes warm up, followed by 5 * 5 mins with 1 min jog recovery. Turned round half way through the fourth rep and it was very hard going back into the wind. Another 10 minutes running then 5 * 20 sec dune hills which killed in the soft sand. Then I ran to catch up with Mum and Dad, ran past them and did three reps from the same point back to them, which got shorter each time.
