My blogger friend Jean over at Social Bridges calls it ‘Phunning’. At my speed it’s more like ‘Phogging’. Join me in the gentlest of four-milers on a sunny Saturday morning. Click on the first image to open the gallery.
Jersey Jogging

Back On The Rock 
How exhilarating it must be to run with these views. Beautiful. And a stop for pancakes (or is that a bagel?) and to peruse a few books just sweetens the deal. 🙂

Hello Carrie – it’s impossible to tire of this little circuit though we run it regularly. That is a toasted tea cake and a lemon ginger zinger dear, food of champions.

Haha, phogging! Love it. Such a lovely place to run. And, I definitely want that yummy snack at the end. I’ll fight Carrie for that!

One benefit of being old and slow, I have time to look around at stuff 🙂 The zinger and tea cake are a sort of reward.

It must take some coordination to run while snapping away so I commend you! What a fantastic run you go on, from the views, the houses, the “bookstore”, the bowlers, to the celebratory breakfast. Lovely!

Haha! Racing tomorrow so no camera. For a 9 x 5 island it is endlessly fascinating and fun if you open your mind and senses. And running you get to see so much more.

Roy love the rock walls and the shaded pathways, what a stunning place you live and a rather unique running track I would say. You have it all. Kath.

Ah, there speaks an artist with an eye. The damaged walls could tell a thousand stories if we could only listen. Indeed we are very lucky here.

Haha, there are those who think we are vastly over-populated Jenny – pull up the drawbridge! I actually said on Thursday evening to the jogging group as we trotted along, ‘I don’t think anyone actually lives in St Martin, we haven’t seen a soul!’ There is actually good protection of the countryside with development limited outside of St Helier.

Totally my repeated message to my beginners’ groups Kristine. As someone said to me recently ‘I’m slow but I still lap people stuck on the couch’.
