For all sorts of reasons, I didn't get out for my early morning run until late this afternoon! It was a spectacular day; big blue sky, sunshine, long shadows, a brisk easterly, a nip in the air; perfect weather for me and ideal running conditions. AND there were three cruise ships in port.
Early mornings, I run along by the water, through the village, round the marina and back again; some thirty minutes all told; not far, but I keep a fair pace and barely pause for breath. So it was a real surprise to discover that my late afternoon run was a big effort; I had to coax myself every step of the way; my legs felt heavy, I was breathless, I had to slow down to a yomp when I reached the marina, and the best I could do was to stride home purposefully. But all was not lost, because the air was sweet, the water sparkled, I had a close-up view of Celebrity Eclipse and Azura leaving port; they blew their whistles and it was wonderful just to be there.
Home again, I was in good time to grab this shot of Queen Mary 2 nosing past the Itchen and preceded by her police launch escort.
