Retake of that ladder I wasn't pleased with last week. Better pacing today, managed to run the shorter sprints faster than the longer ones, rather than all the same speed... 🤪 #runsky #running

Set off on a 4x3 km interval run, but the lap times were confusing, so I stopped the device after about 10 min to figure it out. Apparently, the GPS wanted to take a swim. Switched to a 8 x 800 m interval run to make use of the time I had left. Three intervals uphill and three down. #running #runsky

A satellite image of a running route, going largely along the ocean. About midway along the route, the GPS trace jumps a kilometer out to sea, follows a ghost shoreline for a few hundred meters, and then jumps back to shore.

A somewhat sheltered cove in the ocean. To the left are some standing poles, the remains of an old dock, and scattered across the cove are lots of stones. There's a cormorant on almost every stone, with a few mallards and geese mixed in. A single swan is bobbing in the water. The ocean is grey and the sky is mostly overcast, with many small grey clouds below a thicker layer of light grey cloud. Some blue sky is peeping through. In the foreground, there are reeds and some blooming vines.

Monday miles at civil dawn. One mouse, one hare, three rabbits. Heard a squawk, thought "that's not a happy sound," and then saw an eagle release or drop a seemingly lifeless smaller bird. Later, a smallish eagle (maybe a young, inexperienced hunter?) swooped by me, up close. #runsky #trailrunning

The ruins of the old lepers' church, backlit by the rising sun. A footpath can be made out leading towards it, lit by street lights. The sky is pale blue and the street lights color the grass a warm pinkish yellow.

The rocky path along my favorite cliff overlooking the ocean. There's a cloud bank on the horizon, but the sky overhead is clear and so pale it's more white than blue. The cloud bank is blue and the sky nearest it is colored pink by the sun rising behind the camera. The ocean is calm and slate grey.

The sun rising behind a low pine forest, seen from along a rocky footpath surrounded by small juniper bushes and the occasional small pine tree. The sun has not yet crested the horizon, but is coloring the sky and some thin clouds peachy pink and yellow. Above, the sky is pale blue.
