Le Menuires : Val Thorens : Hills

Dropped Minnie half way up the mountain (a long flattish one today), drove to Le Menuires leaving her 10km to ascend while I ran from 1730m asl to 2000m asl, back down, a bit more up (total tempo 25 mins), then the pique nique up the road further still at Val Thorens where they were still skiing.
This climb adds to the list of Tour de France ascents we have been bagging over the years. Not many better things to do than climb a mountain and stroll through a village or have a pique nique at the top.

Thanks for the beautiful scenic pictures of your journey through the European continent Bruce. Makes me so want to be there too...

Keep up the great work and also your excellent training regimen.

I am so 'over' working, I need a nice holiday, but unfortunately, this year is being spent on rejuvenating the house (it has been neglected these last five or so years), whilst I have been 'swanning' around the world rejuvenating myself.

Oh well, there is always next year to go on holidays again, can't wait...

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
