Beautiful Coastal Path trail run 😍😎☀️⛰️🏔️🏃🏽‍♂️‍➡️🏖️

My second one this week, both 8 miles ish with lots of tricky and varied terrain to negotiate (from sand to mud to stones to pebbles to grass to soft moss to gravel)
Was tough, was hot, fell over once , nearly rolled my ankle twice but loved every minute of it 🥰
What an amazing and invaluable experience 🙌

Happy Global Running Day 🥳🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️
Last Saturday it was the 15th anniversary of my first ever run !!
30500 km ( 19000 miles) later I’m still at it , still loving it 🥰
That 4.2 km run from Bryuncrug to Tywyn on the 30th of May 2011 changed my life , it was a spark that lit up a fire that is still raging inside 🔥
Had lots of adventures and made many amazing memories and lots of friends 🥰

PS : To celebrate I just entered second Ultra of the year 😅
