Managed to get out of work at a reasonable time and made it to the club session just in time. Just in time for what exactly? Well I turned up but we were only a handful (well 11 precisely) to have made it in. I don't know whether it was due to the snow or to the after effects of a hard weekend but very few people had turned up.
Luckily Miuchel had turned up to act as coach for the evening so we were all saved. Since there was a good 5cm of snow lying on the ground, he decreed that we should all run into the forest along the large tracks as the snow would light up the way. There were no disagreements as nobody wanted to trudge around town, so we all set off.
In fact, it wasn't so bad an idea as I had at first imagined. It was pleasant running through the forest along the tracks and the snow lying everywhere helped reflect what little light there was making it perfectly possible to see where you were going and where you were putting your feet. It was a very easy pace as we didn't want to lose anyone so we were running at about 6:30 pace per km.
We went around the forest once before heading towards the swimming pool and then back to the club.
7km all up in 47 minutes. Very easy evening all around but very pleasant. Shame that no more runners had turned up for the session so as to push the pace a little more.

Bonsoir james.
Oui, j'ai honte de ne pas être venu ce soir affronté le froid , la neige pour te pousser un peu mais ce matin j'étais sous les flocons de neige , le froid de 10h00 à 13h30 (soit 3h30 contre tes 47 minutes )...
Mais j'y pense ma saison est terminée ( youpi !!!).C'est peut être pour ca que j'ai pas fait l'effort!
Bon courage à ceux qui continuent de s'entraîner durement.
ps: explication de nicolas attendu ;)
My explanation is a very simple one : I came to the club and arrived at about 6.15. There I met Thierry who told me there was no session and asked me to go home. I was disappointed but that's what I did.
The consequence is that I haven't run since last sunday.
Whatever happened this afternoon, I'll go to the club and run tonight!
What a bunch of big girl's blouses!
Going runing tomorrow morning at 6:00am in the snow. Fancy coming for a run with me ?
Ah l'humour anglais " big girl's blouses"!!! (traduction exact svp)
Je t'invite à passer un peu plus de 3h00 avec moi (de 10h00 à 13h30)sous le froid , la neige,la pluie , le verglas, sans gants sans blouson et ce durant 6 jours(lundi à samedi) consecutifs juste pour voir qui est une "big girl's blouses".
A part ca bon entraînement.
