Okey dokey, it’s been a little while since I last wrote a
blog post – I have been a bit of a busy-Lizzie. So, here we go:
I can’t really describe how exciting my casual running
wanders have been in the last few weeks. Yep, I have been full of every type of
cold and bug, but when I have gotten out on those South Downs, it has been
absolutely amazing. I love it. I think it might be one of my favourite places
to run ever.
It’s so calm and beautiful up there, all your worries just
flow out to sea. Last week, I ran a little further than Beachy Head, past the
lighthouse and onto Birling Gap. It was quite astonishing to see the extent of
the coastal erosion at Birling Gap and how destructive the sea can be.
As we
ran I noticed a lot of ‘Endurance Life’ race event markers, since it was their
South Downs race series the other weekend. Unfortunately, it was sold out by
the time I got the job in Eastbourne. However, I feel so thankful and so happy
that I can run this route all of the time, for free. Okay, Eastbourne is a
pretty small seaside town and there’s nothing amazingly special about some bits
of it. To be quite frank, some of its inhabitants seem downright miserable.
However, the surrounding scenery is just beautiful.
In the last few weeks I also got to visit: Smuggler's Cave, Stone Henge, The Roman Baths, Brighton - lots of cool places :)
