Short recovery

We arrived in Onnion for a week's holiday today and so, having unpacked our bags, what was the first thing that we did ? You guessed it: go for a run.

The thing about Onnion is that there is not much flat around to go for an easy run: it's either up or down. We hopped in the car and drove up to Megevette where the valley flattens out and we began our run from there. I was running with Laurence, trying to convince her of all the benefits to be gained from lactate training and as usual, she was listening with half an ear. We set out to run 3 km up the flattish valley and then back. It's a lovely run as it's peaceful and scenic, yet few cars to disturb you. The only problem today was that it was raining steadily.

We ran 5:17, 5:22, 5:17, 4:59, 4:38, 5:02 and averaged 5:02 over the course of 6.5km. Laurence is improving constantly and it's great to see the progression over the months. I was happy to be back in the mountains and running in this scenery despite the cloud cover.
