Hilly Long Run

How do you describe ascending from 1850m asl to 2400m asl while running through snow, marsh, straight up the ski slopes of Montgenevre? I guess that's how! Wot a view...and we found 4 euro in coinage...how did all those marmotte not find them.
60 minutes all up, 30 minutes all down. Voila.
The pique nique back in the resort, the usual baguette, fromage suisse, concombre, tomat, moutarde dijon, avocat and a special treat mother's day, tarte clafoutis cherises..delicious.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
