The rest of 2010 - between marathons

[marathondan]

Just back from a week in France. Once I discovered that the Breton diet consists of pancakes for main course and dessert, washed down with local cider, the calorie balance for the week was doomed.

I managed three relatively feeble plods, the best of which was a sunset semi-thrash along a dusty, twisty ocean-side path. The untamed Atlantic is an awesome sight and no mistake. When the human interlopers have gone home for the day, it seems to regain even more elemental might.

I also managed a spot of cross-training in the form of an hour's sea kayaking (including, ahem, 5 minutes swimming). Great fun, must try it again sometime.

Only three runs logged for July, but another 3 already on the board this month. This is week 3 of my planned 9 week 10K training programme. Time for more hill reps tomorrow morning, methinks.
