As you may have guessed from my salutation, I´m in Spain, or rather Tenerife at the moment. Not only am I on holiday, I´m running again. Woo hoo!
Not everything is perfect though. I still have a little achilles niggle but that goes away as I warm up so I´m not bothered by that. I´m also still bothered by some hamstring tightness, something that I´ve never suffered with before. Still, neither of them are stopping me going out for an enjoyable 6 or so miles every other morning, romping up and down the hills of Los Gigantes.
If you look at the link, you´ll see that the resort is build at the base of some gigantic cliffs. Most of the flatter bits of the town are built on a 30 degree slope. The rest is steeper. :-)
Whethere running up and down hills is good for a man in my condition I don´t know but I´m just loving it. It´s just so good to be running again and I´m forever on the lookout for ever steeper hills to attack in my morning runs. I doubt I´ll be as fit as I had hoped in time for the River Ayr Way race but at least the hills shouldn´t bother me. :-)
Adios!

Ola Senor Downie! Buenos vacaciones (I think)
Hey Tim, enjoy your hols...I got to run in Fuerteventura earlier in the year. It's fun blazing trails :)
I know you're carrying some achilles trouble but I guess you've got something in mind for your next 'biggy'..??
Buenos vacaciones indeed!
Running on the trails of Tenerife sounds fantastic. Isn't there a 2000m odd volcano that you could take a jaunt up?
I too can't resist running up and down hills, even if injured.
