Danang is such a beautiful place too. I am really considering a move there after here in Hanoi: fresh air, blue skies, clear and warm water (with gentle, tiny waves), delicious food, friendly lovely people, and a quiet/chilled vibe. Here are some pictures of this incredible trip, that featured: exploring and riding to Hoi An via motorbike, An Bang beach hangs, Danang beach chilling and ocean swimming, a long run (the marathon!), sushi/Japanese/Mexican/Italian/Vietnamese food, unexpected prizes for placing second, and KARAOKE (oh yes):
I'm off for a gentle recovery walk now - I am a big fan of active recovery! Keep moving after a race but don't go straight back to running unless you have a back-to-back running event planned.... Have a beautiful week everyone, and thank you for all your kind, wonderful words/wishes in person and via Facebook, messenger, texts, and emails. I really appreciate your support and love and you have all helped me get this unexpected good result! So thanks... :) xxx
