BOK run from Windmill- out and back on coast path . Lovely evening plenty of stopping to admire the view

Monday Aug 10, 2015 #

Note

Very much enjoyed both holidays - a bit disappointed at results not only too many mistakes but also going too slow on legs that I did well- very few fast splits. Need an extended break to recuperate, catch up on life and regain enthusiasm. May or may not keep log going.
