So, I completed the 6km hilly run this morning in my town in France. The reason I took up this running lark one year ago.

Knackered but happy. What’s next?

Well done! You look as though you may be on the other side of the border to us, and I still have not got back up to 5k after the summer heat!

I’m in Céret just north of Spanish border. A mere 20C at the start time. Yes, much of the summer too hot to run.

A beautiful town, and only a tortuous passage over the Pyrenees to Banyoles , where we are! I will think of you running, on the other side, tomorrow, when I go out!

Thank you. This afternoon I thought back on all the C25K runs in the cold and rain thinking “that run is never going to happen”. I’ve run longer distances recently but this was a symbolic one for me.

They do a very hilly 20km as well on the same day, usually won by East Africans in just over an hour. Time limit is 2 1/2 hours and it’s a b*gger of a run. Perhaps in 2021....

Nothing better than steak and Dijon mustard.

Well you’ll have to do a HM 👍🏽

Cooler weather = perfect for training 💪🏽

Well done! A lovely area and a far cry from the level Camel trail!

HeavyFoot profile image
HeavyFootGraduate10 in reply toSlinkymalinki

I'll say! I chose the Camel Trail because it's so flat. Hills were quite a shock to my system (and still can be).

Not what you're looking for?
