Saint Malo Day 1 : Longish Run 18km

A couple of flights and a TGV train journey took me to the beachside town of Saint Malo. I'm here for almost 2 weeks. Most of my runs will be done on the beach at low tide. I was last here in 2013 (2 nights, day after Gold Coast Half marathon, for Tour de France stage) and 2015 (6 nights, a week after World Masters Athletics Championships in Lyon).

The run today a mix of beach and bike path, a steady 18km for the day. I had some foot swelling from the flights. I was cautious with that and felt good during the run and some hours later the swelling had gone.

Tomorrow my first set on the beach including strides, stretching and some shorter intervals to get things moving again.

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.
