Montpellier

After a day off on Wednesday, it was back on the road again for work and the last meeting on Thursday. This one was situated on a golf course in Montpellier and a very pleasant hotel it was too.

The hotel was situated on the golf course 10 minutes from Montpellier and it was the best situated and the most pleasant hotel of the 4 that we visited for work these last 2 weeks. The food and the restaurant was fantastic, and I would definitely return with the family.

I went running early morning with F-X and another colleague, Armel, across the golf course to begin with. The weather was fantastic, with the sun just begining to rise and the temperature at a pleasant 16°C. We ran across the golf course, avoiding the gardeners mowing the fairway at 7:20 am, before heading off between the vines to the canal.

It was an easy pace, with F-X struggling slightly when we would increase the tempo above 4:35 per km speed. We had a great chat and it was a lovely way to wake up with the sun rising over some beautiful landscapes. No wonder so many people decide to move to the South of France.

11.1k all up in 52:37 or 4:45 per km. Great run.
