As part of my training plan I have joined www.jantastic.me (organised by the podcast Marathontalk) as a member of Liz Yelling's 'Jogger's' - not convinced about this team name - however I was one run short for this week so despite the marathon Saturday rolled out of bed early for a pre-breakfast run from Low Newton - on - Sea to Dunstanburgh , which stands on a wave-battered headland to the South. Beautiful morning with only a few dogs and a sole racehorse out for some exercise. One of those iconic days when it's great to be a runner...
