Running on Rocks


Tucked in behind Sark plodding along Branscombe beach in East Devon, it struck me how strange we must have looked. We went down for an annual running race called 'The Grizzly' a tortuous 20-mile course starting and finishing at Seaton, a pretty coastal town. Due to a shipwreck off the coast and the ensuing rubbish the beach has been closed which forced the cancellation of the the Grizzly this year. But hundreds of runners still went for quickly organised 'Un-Grizzly' runs over slightly different routes. We peeled off from the main group of runners on Sunday morning and continued on towards Sidmouth before returning home, ending up running for a good few miles on this beach. Some sand but mainly rocks and pebbles of varying sizes. Very tough running and great training. Wish we'd done it three months before not two weeks!
