Off on a week's hols in France.

I seem to remember the days when packing for your holidays involved swimsuits, suncreams and paperback holiday romances...

eheh... I had the same problem on my last trip to Italy 2 weeks ago and ended up "forgetting" a couple of jean's and short and more elegant polo (for evenings out) to make some space for additional t-shirts and running equipment

ended up travelling wearing my running shoes (landing in Italy with temperatures over 35...)

having access to a washing machine have become a must on holidays

Ha ha, heady days weren't they! Mind you I think the only hot holiday I ever had was in 1976 in Scarborough. Schorchio!

I think you'll enjoy this one much more !! Hope it's not too hot for you TT

I see you have Saucony's. My faves too. Just got some Zealots and I love them. Switched to them for my day to day running from Kinvara's which are a tad delicate on the uppers.

Have a lovely time!

A washing machine Marco! The sweaty running duds go into the shower with you. You too can be a multi-tasker. LOL

My last hot holiday was on the Gower in 1958! I haver been told by Ironson , who has already tested the 25K course he's mapped out for me, that I have to get up and run early. Experimented this morning in Yorkshire with a 7 am start and felt very virtuous but I suspect he means earlier than that. I love Sauconys. Have worn no other brand for the last two years after an unfortunate experience with Brooks. They are so light! I'm on my third pair now and may just treat myself to another at the Berlin expo. Heck, just realised the time. Why am I on t'internet when I should be packing? .

[misswobble Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

If you're owt like me your packing won't take long. I hate packing so hardly anything. I used to pack a corkscrew. I don't even need that now. Travelling light, travelling light, tum ti tum, tra la la

I have been dog sitting for the past week and have been up every morning before dawn. On the streets in me jammies. Much cooler time of day but whether it will be in France ..... Still, you'll soon be finding out. Have fun!

I love the Kinvaras for racing! The Zealots are a bit more cushioned so good for training. Still very light though!

Happy hols TT. Hope the toe's on the mend now xx

DIL just re-wrapped it while mildly tutting at my folly!

[benwill Marathon]

wow your taking alot of stuff, i would have just taken, shoes, shorts, t-shirt, socks and my watch. You can wear stuff twice right? and is that gloves i see?

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to benwill]

I have reynauds syndrome and my hands cramp on long runs without gloves. Also I have to do two..long run s while I'm away and the forecast is for scorching weather. And you really want me to wear the same kit each time ??? Girls need that extra bit of kit called a sports bra. Plus I have a hat with a neck shield to avoid sunstroke. Honestly you're as bad as my husband. At least I only pAcked one pair of shoes. Am already fretting that I should have brought a spare pair...

[benwill Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

you only need one pair of shoes really!

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to benwill]

Twice before washing? Noooooooo....

[benwill Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

Errrr sometimes, if i do a run the next day you can just wear the same thing its only gonna sweaty again. Maybe ju-ju- can do a poll, after she stops sunning her self on her holiday, her pics on strava look good.

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to benwill]

Oh no! I must admit I just rinse them out and hang them up, but I couldn't wear them again!

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

Where are you off to TT? Anywhere near me?

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

Am near Loche. An hour southeast of Tours! It is lovely. Ironson has 26K route planned out for me tomorrow!

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

No where near me sadly, but 26K? That's a looooong way!

[ju-ju- Marathon]

priorities... just like mine!!!
