Today's trail running tip: Get yourself some salami sticks. Not only are they tasty, salty and contains carbs and protein. In a nice easy eatable packaging that ain't too messy and don't drip sticky stuff, like other spots "food" do.

They also double as drumsticks for air drumming, which any trail runner worth their sweaty salt, will need while listening to wicked tunes, like when Lars drums his way through Metallica's banger of an album - Black Album, which was today's RAAAD.

Picture of the packaging of some yummy salami sausage sticks, that you can pick up in a supermarket near you. My running stats imposed on top

      This is why I enjoy of running in woodland. The random mix of farm/logging track to single track to a well used trail to "darn it" nettles and shoulder-ouch-high-arrgghh-my-new-top-ouch-brambles to a tunnel of wood.

      Paddy the Irish mutt in a canopy of trees, it is broad daylight but within and under the tree cover it's rather dark. Fun part was the navigation through the wall of bramble and nettles and then you get this open covered space.

        Good morning peeps 🌞

        I'm back at it again on another splendid sunny summer morning.

        Half road and trail again today, it was good but I felt like I had lead in my shoes! Isn't it supposed to be easier after a couple of days rest, not harder...weird, that's running for you, just as you think you have it cracked, it throws curve balls.

        Anyway after warmup, I was out at 🕔 0553hrs 🌡️24°c 79% humidity (feels like 26°c)

          I should have listened to my watch, because Suunto said yesterday that it might be a good idea to have a rest day tomorrow.

          Had a good run, a bit to hot for me, but felt good. But everytime I slowed down, for hills or letting the Irish mutt do his WeeMail, I got attacked by horseflies.

          Lost count of how many of these little bar stewards managed to bite me. I will take an antihistamine and hope the itch, that will for sure happen later, ain't mental.

            A Slow & Easy run in Zone 2, up the first of my winter hills, a route I haven't run since I fell & bruised my ribs back in March.
            Totally demystified now, felt good to run that way without the fall in my head.
            Pretty tough run tho, this is the first hill I've run in almost 2 months! I have been enjoying flattish routes this summer, but with the hydration vest and bladder there was no reason not to push it.

              Another cloudy, humid start.
              Yesterday was surprisingly cool for a July day in Malta (only 30°c) so overnight temp & humidity were not too bad. Sadly the thick morning cloud wouldn't release any of that stale air, so it's another damp start.

                            Good morning peeps :)

                            New route today, - Wardija Hill.
                            It's probably one of the nicest routes I have run. Oddly out of the way, even though it is pretty much right on my doorstep, and a route I had to have my head lamp for, which pretty much guarantees no other foot traffic.

                            Also the furthest and hardest run since injuring my ribs - I managed it really well, with very little walking, and most importantly, no, in-run rib discomfort.

                                    New running style; shoe wise - a reduced distance this morning, this is my first run in zero drop/barefoot shoes, I am glad I started my transition from a cushioned shoe, by going to a minimal cushion back in January

                                    My immediate reaction of barefoot shoes, is that you are doing the running, there is more feedback to your feet, and the foot strike is very much like being without shoes - but, it was a heap of fun to run!
