Back to basics

I've been in a rut since the Paris Marathon as far as running goes which explains why I haven't written much for the last few months.

Trying to re-motivate myself by just enjoying the runs after a few disappointing races recently. This morning I went out at 6:25 and ran 13.5k around Maisons Laffitte in 58:50 or 4:24 per km.

It felt good to be running easily again. I tried on my new race shorts: very light and airy but these began to rub after 7k. Temperature was a lot cooler than of late so it was very pleasant to run and only sweat from the exercise and not the extreme heat.

Toulouse Marathon planned for October so preparation for that will begin next week.
