And after the storm... all calm on the western front! A beautiful evening in Galway, hurricane Katia is well gone and the city of the tribes returns to it's usually happy self. And I took full advantage by stopping off in Salthill after work for a nice six mile trot. I ran the prom - that most famous of seashore walkways - and then headed out to Mutton Island Lighthouse, before circling South Park and heading back towards the prom again. I'm not zipping by any means, but at least the upward curve continues! The mackerel fishers were back in force - one old man carried a pastic bucket in one hand and a fishing rod in another as he made his way to a prime spot by the shore. A little boy stood five paces behind his father who pointed a strange looking, half-size rod at the horizon. 'You'll catch nothing with that thing', I thought to myself, and just then his line strained and he began to reel like mad... Never underestimate the power of the Salthill prom!
It's all ok in West Ireland after the storm; That's a good news.

Can't beat the Prom for a run,although always helps when you're not been blown away by Katia and other elements over the winter :)
