Took the opportunity of running some errands in the car to grab some of the more distant #Bristol #GromitUnleashed statues. Still a few left outside of the borders of the M4/M5, we'll have to see if I can come up with a reason to visit them.

Finished off the city centre #GromitUnleashed sculptures, post eye test.

Yoga and heavy weights (hence reduced range) this morning, then out to club in the evening. It's too dark to cycle back now and still feel safe, so I drove in and got there early enough to run out to a nearby #GromitUnleashed statue before doing the Summer 8 route.

No Ashton Court #parkrun this morning due to the balloon fiesta, so hopped on the bike and cycled over to my Nendy at Three Brooks. Ran an almost progressive 5k (the 4th km was a couple of hundredths slower than the 3rd), then cycled the long way home picking up a couple more #GromitUnleashed statues.

Part 2 (it allowed me to select 20 images then only posted the first 10) so here are more #BristolBalloonFiesta and #GromitUnleashed photos from this morning #Bristol

Up horrendously early as supposedly there is a battery engineer coming round at some unknown point today, and I had 14 miles to run per my training plan (actually I had 7 miles at half marathon pace, but switched it with Sunday's long run).

A way to break it down and fit it in early was to run up to the Downs (including up Bridge Valley Road at 06:00) for some balloon spotting. I did a quick lap and saw the first balloon appear out of the trees from the Downs, but with the wind direction opted to jog over to the Observatory (which was much busier), then jogged it back through the University quarter, down Park Street and the long way home, picking up some more #GromitUnleashed sculptures.

Home by 08:08, and knackered. Photos of hot air balloons never do them justice, let's hope for more mass ascents this year #BristolBalloonFiesta

Keeping things flat this morning after yesterday's 14-miler, with bonus #GromitUnleashed spotting. Also managed to get my #scyforrunners done.
