We returned from the honeymoon yesterday after just over 20 hours of travelling. Today was back to work and tomorrow is the restart of my training. I only managed one 3 mile run and a 10 mile hike while away but I don't feel too bad. The 3 mile run was an 8:10 pace run around the Venetian Port of Chania in Greece. I was suprised at the pace given that I ran at 6pm in the evening and the waterfront is strewn with bars and restaurants with tourists ambling along without a care in the world. More than one time I thought I might slip and end up in water! The 10 mile hike was a picturesque 6 hour hike through the Samaria Gorge in Crete. We started at the top of a mountain and hike through the gorge to the sea where we sunbathed and swam the rest of the afternoon before taking a boat back to our bus.

Gill Bruton's Gravatar When I walked the Samaria Gorge a few years back I couldn't even walk another step. After I got on the boat back to our bay and passed out !!!!!!!!!!! .

I have taken up jogging since and am probably fitter now, but its so bad for the knees doing that down hill thing so I won't.

Adam Howitt's Gravatar Despite my running I still ended up stiff the next day, mostly in my glutes and my hamstrings. I think it's just a different set of muscles that get a beating and after 10 miles of hiking downhill it shows.
