As I've said in previous blogs, I like to go for a run when I'm traveling. On business trips this usually means running city streets and parks, past iconic buildings and landmarks. But on holidays, the destinations are more exotic and the running is very enjoyable.
Tropical Port Douglas has been paradise! No getting up early for a mid-week winters run in the cold and dark before rushing off to work - a run in the warm sunshine before a leisurely breakfast beside the pool is what I'm talking about.
Ran down the bike path, along the Port Douglas Road, past the resorts and lush greenery, then back along the Four Mile Beach. Warm conditions and a flat course made for a pretty cracking pace, which felt effortless - if only running was like this every time!
I was soaked in sweat by the end of this 10km run so a quick dip in our resort pool was a great way to cool off and warm down.
Returning to Melbourne this weekend so it wil be back to long-sleeves and leggings for a few more weeks, but hopefully Spring will bring some warmer running conditions back home...
