Consolation Run for the race that never was!

Following the cancellation last night of this morning’s Bergerac 10k race by the Mayor “pour raison de securite” (despite him having apparently signed off the required authorisations weeks ago) and after the best part of a bottle of wine, I decided there was no point in moping and went off for a trot to Monbazillac. 6.2k and a NRC headspace run and I feel better. I don’t usually see anybody else, but this morning said bonjour to somebody wearing the exact same Decathlon cropped leggings. Also hope I get to keep the t-shirt. It might be worth something in the future! For those running today, have a good one 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Good for you for running after that disappointment Sandie! C'est la vie. That T-shirt is lovely, and its yours! 😊xxx

That's a shame Sandie. Maybe they'll re-schedule the race. Can I tempt you up north to La Vendee for this one ? lesfouleesdugois.com You can reuse your medical certificate !

Glad you got out all the same. I'm loving the new Headspace Runs. There's a 60minute one that I used on Friday - Mindful Meters. Very enjoyable.

It looks great, if a little nuts, Paula but unfortunately that’s the weekend we’re heading home for my mum and dad’s 60th anniversary do. Otherwise I could have been tempted! I’ve emailed the organiser to ask if they’re going to rearrange.

Oh what a shame Sandie. I thought us Brits were supposed to be the uptight ones but the French take it to another level with running (am I being a bit controversial? 🤫). Great that you got out there anyway. Have you got any foil and ribbon you could make some bling out of??

Oh boooooo Sandie! After all your hard work getting a health certificate. Pfft.

But well done for running today anyway, and absolutely you should keep the tee shirt and wear it as a statement of your intent!

Hope you’re having a fab time in France. 🇫🇷 ❤️🏃‍♀️

It’s great and we had a lovely week away in the van. Went up to the Col du Tourmalet (not on bikes I hasten to add😂) and there’s still quite a bit of snow up there.

Well done for going out after your disappointment Sandie. I hope your medical certificate lasts long enough to make use of it again.
