Did a relatively easy run down to the Seine and back up thru the park, past the church totaling a little over 10ks. No aches or pains anywhere so that’s always a good place to be. Didn’t even notice any … Continue reading →

A good run this morning thru the local communities. I’ve been over these roads a thousand times but never in this sequence with this combination of hills. Of course I was sucking in serious air on those uphill climbs. I … Continue reading →

After a day off yesterday I went out for a nice 8k run this morning. No lingering after effects from long run on Sunday which is encouraging. I took it easy over the first few km to see how all … Continue reading →
