Today's trail running tip: Get yourself some salami sticks. Not only are they tasty, salty and contains carbs and protein. In a nice easy eatable packaging that ain't too messy and don't drip sticky stuff, like other spots "food" do.

They also double as drumsticks for air drumming, which any trail runner worth their sweaty salt, will need while listening to wicked tunes, like when Lars drums his way through Metallica's banger of an album - Black Album, which was today's RAAAD.

This morning run was through a "machine" forest. The last time I walked through it, I couldn't enjoy the far view, only had a tunnel of trees and a line of sky directly above us.

I set out too hard, felt good but burned all my beans, so the last nearly kilometre was done walking.

Today's RAAAD was The Cure fantastic Mixed Up, some absolute bangers on that album and one of them was our wedding song ;)

So after masterfully avoiding the glorious Spanish mud yesterday, today I didn't. This snap is from just before it got worse. At least I didn't drop and there was long wet grass to run through to "wash" our legs afterwards.

I only thought of you @Wen after I had washed down the mutt ;)

Today's RAAAD was the brilliant Danish band Gasolin there was some bad singing and a lot of air guitar ;)

I've totally forgotten how many bangers the Danish band Gnags have made.

Put on a Best of album and set out to Den dejligste morgen (most beautiful morning) with it very much was. Then sang along to the protest song Vilde Kaniner (wild rabbits). Then it went a bit 'Pete Tong' with the absolute tunes of Går med hunden gennem byen (Walking the dog through the town) and Slingrer Ned Ad Vestergade (Strolling down Vestergade), because I blew up when - Når jeg bliver gammel (When I get old), the irony, started and I had 500m to go on the 5k. Paddy the Irish mutt my pulled me over the line, he likes running fast when there's no sticks to be played with.

Looked at my watch and it said numbers I couldn't understand, when looking through the sweat in my eyes. Walked the 1.5km back to HQ, had nothing left to do a gentle jog even when Burhøns came on.

The stats on Strava and it said I had shaved 2m28sec off my PB! So I'm in the "under 30" club now with a 27m32sec 5k, just how!?!?

I will end with this line from the song Denmark - Lige meget hvem du er. Lige meget hvor du er. Så velkommen her. (No matter who you are. No matter where you are. So welcome here)

Here the song Vilde Kaniner - https://youtu.be/-fk8fXTiAAo

Today's run was a trip down memorylane. Found a playlist on the streams called - Atlantic 252. Back in the 80s, I had a clock radio and loved at night going up and down the AM/MW/LW dial. Even attached a longer aerial so it was easier to tune into 1440, Radio Luxembourg, and later Atlantic 252. Laying in my bed, not daring to move, listening to Top 20 on Sundays until after midnight, with my one ear bud, finger on the dial just keeping the signal locked for best reception. Even with the quality being so low and the static I really got to listen to some good tunes that way ;)

This part of Spain got some beautiful, fun and interesting trails. But they are brutally sole destroying as this is the second one I saw on the trails. Again a double run with the mutts along with a double RAAAD. First The Dead South - Illusion and Doubts, where the banjo does keep you on your fast toes. The Cake - Fashion Nugget which I went the Distance with ;)

Double run with the mutts, first 3.5 km with Miss MoneyPenny the Podenco, who were like a bored teenager much more interested in her mobile phone, e.g. sniffing for something to hunt. Than being amazed that these stones are nearly 27.000 dogs years old. The sun came out and gave the second half with Paddy the Irish mutt, a stunning view over the bay to the to Vigo. So it wasn't to bad that our run turned out to be nearly 2km longer than planned.

RAAAD was Lhasa de Sela's album La Llorona, again an album that probally best stat down and enjoyed, than playing when your legs and lungs are screaming why did you go up this hill TWICE you numpty !! But I got to reminisce about the brilliant summer working on a campsite in France where this album was the sound track, to long hot days.

Manged to get out running while it was dry, though only a short run, because the little wood I had found to run in, had forestry workers doing some clear cutting. So route got cut sort and also rather slow as I didn't dare to run through the off cut branches laying across the trails and forest tracks.

I had made two mistakes with AnnenMayKantereit. First one, I somehow managed to click on play all their tracks and not just the wanted album - Alles Nix Konkretes. Though that meant that I got to listen to some tracks that I didn't know, like the sublime cover of Toxic, yes that one :) Second mistake is that AnnenMayKantereit is cleary music you need to sit down and listen to, preferable with good friends, log fire, great views and maybe a wee dram.

Lass asked me if my legs weren't tired after 3 days of running in dunes before I set out to run on a beach this morning. Lo and behold half way on today's run every bit of my legs started to moan ;)

At least nobody heard me singing along to Appetite for Destruction. Shocking that I still remember the lyrics to this album by Guns'n'Roses after nearly 20 years since I last played it ;)

Missed out on a run yesterday so made it up with a double album run today. Started off with the joyful Stakka Bo - Supermarket, lyrics are still apt today as it was back in '93. This helped me through the forest and the sandy tracks to the beach. Where Rage Against the Machine as always kicked butt, serious air drums and screaming along to Killing in the name, Bombtrack and Bullet in the Head etc was only heard by the wind and the waves as I did nearly 3.5km all alone on the beach.

Forgot to take a photo of today's run, so an album cover should cover it. I can't decide if Motorcrash or Birthday is my favorite track from Life's too Good by Sugarcubes. Still a grand listen, but not really a running album I think.
