As long as you're trying like this, you're out far beyond that couch. And now that hills are your friends ... well you're a bit nuts, aren't you? :-)

Absolutely - but especially if you're a friend of hills.

Oh oh, be careful! Hills will make you not just a bit nuts like Gary said, but totally bonkers....I often come home laughing out loud after a hill session... maybe it's just French hills...

Well done. What part of France are you running in. I'm at Blois, on the banks of the Loire, half way between Tours and Orléans.

Happy running :D
