we’re on holiday in portugal and the weather is perfect.
warm, but not too hot.
cooler in the morning, but not too cold.
ideal temperature to go for a morning run actually.

running in lisbon

running along the tagus riverfront in lisbon is actually highly recommended! both during the week and on weekends the promenade was full of (also partially shirtless) runners. with a view of the bridge that looks just like san francisco’s golden gate bridge. lisbon itself is nice to visit, but nothing super special. quite touristy, crowded with cars, tuktuks, and tourists.

down at the algarve coast running turned out to be a bit more tricky, since the golf hotel (we’re not golfing) wasn’t a big fan of letting me use the golf course paths to run – yet again proving the snobby golfers cliche 🫣

with not much time left for the next hyrox race, it will be interesting to see how or if the running form and endurance have improved.

while trying to detach from work life, it still sneaks in when seeing all the tech news developments that happened in just a few days away from the computer.
at home my brand new m5 pro mac mini was safely delivered to a neighbor. excited to set this one up once i get back, as a 24/7 always-on agent machine, making use of its higher memory capacity than my old one.

and now back to the pool šŸŠ
