Back out there!

This morning was the first time out since last Tuesday. Still in France (here for 6 weeks) and the temperatures have continued to be in the 30s. I just got to the point last week that I couldn’t stand it, even early morning and we also had a couple of days away in the camper where I didn’t know the area. But last night we had a thunderstorm and this morning dawned cloudy and cool (well 18 degrees which feels cool!) so I pulled myself together and put on my running shoes. My route starts with a 0.5k warm up walk up a steep hill, then 5k Run with nearly 1k downhill to start, then relatively flat for 4K and a final 0.5k warm down walk through the vineyard with a final uphill bit. Didn’t think I’d done a particularly good time but Strava says it was my 2nd best 5k at 33.47. My best is 33.46!! And got back just as the heavens opened again. Happy day 😃

Sounds beautiful, and well done on that time. Hehe those pesky seconds make all the difference.
