First run in Croatia, Dubrovnik to be exact. It felt nice to get out after about 10 hours in the van. The drive went really well, especially the boys. They were very impressive throughout the ride. Ran along the beach and did a little exploring, should be wonderful this week!

A good run this morning. Not too hot, actually felt pretty good. Kept it slow and ran along the beach again, this time ran the other direction and found some cool places out here. There are 4 abandoned hotels right on the beach, they are pretty large to. I am not hotel person, but I would assume each has about 200+ rooms. Not sure whey the are abandoned, maybe the war down here? 

7:59   9:32 (found a cool trail)   8:05   3:55 (.5 mile) = 8:24 AP

Couldn't get out this morning, and it usually doesn't happen if I wait until the evening. Had to help the boys shower and eat, etc....

Today felt really good. There was some wind which kept it nice and cool. I found a good route through a little village out here, a lot of the locals were giving me weird looks, not sure if it was my shaved head and beard, or that I was running.

Wanted to run a little bit longer today. My left shin was starting to hurt, but not a tissue or muscular thing. It felt more like the bone... My right shin was injured this last time, so hopefully it isn't the same thing on my other leg.

I may attempt another week of at least a 5k. Worried a little bit about the shin areas.
