Taking advantage of the sunny long weekend to expl Taking advantage of the sunny long weekend to explore our backyard. 18km 900m+ with 800m in 8km. A bit too much after our race last week, and bad fuel management resulting in bonking. Anyway, glad that the sun is back and the spring is here!

Photos of me taken at the finish line of a running Photos of me taken at the finish line of a running race have never been flattering, and the one taken today for the 10km at ASPARUN is no exception. Especially when I had to drag my tired legs up the finish line which was on top of a slope. 

The lack of training, the chronic hamstring problem, and the rolling route with 100m elevation have made this 10km harder, but I am glad that I have done it. 

Maybe next year with a better finishing time?

Year coming to a close. Our favorite time to atten Year coming to a close. Our favorite time to attend concerts. It was the Nutcracker ballet last week, and this week, a French classical concert performed by the university. Ended the night with a dinner at a bouillon, a restaurant serving (relatively) inexpensive traditional French dishes rapidly. A good way to end the week.

Que fait-on par une journée d’été très chaude dans le sud de la France ? D’abord, on pique-nique (préparé par Café Louis-Provence), puis on assiste à un spectacle du barbier de Séville, joué au Château Grignan, sous les étoiles du soir.
