Three is the magic number

Distance: 10.01 km/ 6.22 miles
Time:       56:38 secs
Calories:  856

Three runs in three days. Not bad considering I'm on holiday.

We go for a change of scenery today and, instead of running on the beach, decide to run through the local park, over a bridge and head north on the appropriately named 'Tropical Trail'. This is a really beautiful spot to run down, with very large, very expensive houses on one side and the sea glistening in the early morning sun on the other side.

The Long and not so winding road that
is Tropical Trail.

Unfortunately, even though the scenery makes for a nice change of pace it's ridiculously hot again (despite setting out 8:19am) and I'm soon soaked in sweat and willing an end to this run. It shows as well as Run Keeper has recorded an average pace of just 5:39 mins/mile, which is pretty slow compared with what I usually run.

The run ends after 10 kilometres and nearly an hour and I decide to award myself a day off the next day.
