…had my Garmin a year and I’ve just discovered there’s a turn around function 😂

Every day is a school day 📝

It was raining when I went out this morning 🌅

What’s that all about Spain?! 🇪🇸

Started listening to on my run today. Figured I could multi task whilst I’m doing my !

Saw the sun (albeit briefly) at the start of my run.

Finished up with breakfast 🥖 🧀 🍅

Hi 👋 ¡Hola!

A wee update on our move and my reflections along the way 👩🏻💭

At the end of November we left Salt Lake City, Utah, to embark on our which we’d been talking about (and making tentative plans for), for the past 10 years 🇪🇸

We’ve moved around A LOT in the those 10 years 🗺️

After spending time in California, then Scotland for Christmas, we made our way to Spain 🇪🇸

We are now in the process of looking for a rental property 🏠

It’s going to be challenging for me to embed myself in the community because I’m still learning Spanish.

I’m not afraid to try and get by though.

First steps 👣 I emailed the local running club. That’s a great way to get to know people, right?! 🏃 🏃🏻‍♀️

One of the most satisfying parts of living in different places is the opportunity to explore towns and cities by running them 🏃🏻‍♀️

I’ve grown accustomed to the surrounding area significantly quicker because I’m mostly on foot.

I often establish where I am by landmarks, the landscape and just a general sense of the direction I’m going in.

There’s nothing better than learning about a new town in this way (IMO).

We’ve been here just over a week. I’m loving doing my 🏃🏻‍♀️ exploring the area 🇪🇸

Further musings to follow 👩🏻 💭

Adiós amigos ❤️
Laura ✨

I’m not sure of the exact translation, so here’s what Google is suggesting:

💋 “the perfect kisses are born in the perfect destinations” 💋

…well, well, well - looks like long runs are going to be very enjoyable with this new discovery 🍫 🍊 🥜

Day 9 of 🏃🏻‍♀️

Garmin is a bit over critical of me these days 😂

Today I was ‘unproductive’…yesterday and the past few days I’ve been “over reaching”.

What’s a girl to do?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Had some busy jobs to do today so I ran into town…wandered around, had coffee and walked back 🏝️

🏃🏻‍♀️
👣 4.25 miles

Looking forward to starting marathon training after this mini run streak!

Have a great Tuesday friends ❤️

Day 7 of 🏃🏻‍♀️

Loved this morning’s outing. Ran alongside the beach for a bit, then into the countryside.

I was on an official trail route that took me past some small farms with lots of orange trees 🍊 🌳

The best of both worlds!

After my run, I walked back to base camp ⛺️

18,000 steps so far today 👣

Happy Sunday ☀️

Busy day today! Day 6 of 🇪🇸

Ran to the outdoor track to see what it looked like - will have to go back with Mr to get the details on when I can use it etc (he’s a native Spanish speaker - my limited vocabulary wouldn’t be enough for this type of conversation)!

Loved the art 🖼️🏃🏻‍♀️ 🎾 🏊🏻 🤸🏽‍♀️ 🏊🏻 🏋🏻‍♀️ ⛹🏻‍♀️ ⚽️

Lots of people out today! About 20 people doing aerobics on the beach and a swimming event taking place in the marina 🏊🏼‍♂️

Psyching myself up for my marathon training, , starting in February.

I’m always drawn in by Apps and wondered if any of you have tried the Runna App. I’d love to hear your feedback if you’ve used it as part of your training.

Thanks,
Laura ✨

Day 2 of 🇪🇸

Yes…I shouldn’t have had patatas bravas and a dessert before I ran. But I did 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m trying to get out of the mindset where I limit myself to running in the morning. If I don’t go first thing, I won’t go. So, I’m experimenting going out later in the day.

On saying that 😂 I’m going out before breakfast tomorrow!

Happy Running Friends 🏃 🏃🏻‍♀️

Time to shine ☀️

As usual, I don’t make a New Year’s Resolutions.

Instead, each month I attempt to do something to enhance my health and wellbeing ❤️

This month I’m running 5k a day and I’m excited about it 🤩

Anyone else doing this for January? Have you set yourself any goals? I’d love to hear your ideas 📝

¡Hola! Loving Santander 🇪🇸

My run took a lot longer because I kept stopping to take photos 📸

You know what that means… spam incoming 😂

📍 Centro Botín (Art Museum)
📍 Monumento al Incendio de Santander*
📍 Los Raqueros (orphans diving for coins)

*Part of the sculpture created to commemorate the fire and reconstruction of Santander in 1941.

It’s sometimes referred to as the Andalusian Fire as it started on Cádiz Street and the flames stopped on Sevilla Street.

It’s so interesting running in a new location 🗺️

Happy Saturday ☀️

…nearing the end of my trip home so it was time to donate the books I’d read 📚

Psyched myself up to not exchange books…just a drop off mission. It was all that was required. But then…I couldn’t help myself!

Three in, 2 out. A compromise. Of sorts 😂

I appreciate all the advice .matranga shares on here ❤️

matranga Number 7 is the one that holds more people back than you’d expect. But these are all worth thinking about before the new year!

I surprised myself by heading out for a run…BUT…it was still too slippy. Lots of black ice.

Compromised by taking a short walk instead!

Non-starter on the running front so far 👎🏻

Was all set to go and discovered the pavements and roads were too icy ❄️

The biggest challenge now will be trying to motivate myself to go out once it *warms* up 🥶

Happy Boxing Day 🎁
