On Sunday I had a very active day! I got up in the morning, ate my breakfast, and then I went for my customary 5k run, which truth be told was a little more difficult than usual for some reason. However, I still made decent time. Then I spent another 45 minutes or so doing my "Power 90 sculpt" DVD. Then Mark had the good idea of biking over to Dollymount, which is the beach on Bull Island, pretty much right next to where we were the day before at St. Anne's park. So we biked the 6 or so miles, then had a nice little hangout sesh on the beach for a couple of hours.
I think I've posted photos of this place before, but who doesn't want a crappy cell phone pic of it? Not you!


Ships sailed by:

Mark went swimming but I preferred to stay dry and warm. Here's a photo of his sunglasses before he lost them in the waves. Good ol' Bono!

And because you are so curious, here's the view of the beach to the right:

And since it was a pretty nice day, I decided to take a happy feet photo:

I made another journey up Fairview way, but all the way up to Clontarf. We continued past St. Anne's park, on to Dollymount aka Bull Island, where there's a little beach. Halfway through the way back the wind kicked up it started to rain, but all in all it was a lovely excursion! And if you were to head out and bike non-stop, it would probably only take thirty minutes to get out there. I really want to check out St. Anne's park. From what I could see, it looks gorgeous. And as usual, here are some shots from my outing:

Bikers!
