Day 58: running with Bambi

Aaaah, the country looks mighty fine today. We are just back from a good 75 min Fartlek session around the village of St Bris des Bois, through the old land of my great uncle (where we saw three deer!), pass a medieval church, and round (and round) a pond... It's cold and there were some patches of frost, but it was nice to see bits of mist still lingering here and there, and the sun is glorious in a cloudless sky. On top of which, coach Stephen got a chance to marvel at some weird-looking and strangely-wailing chickens......

Running really gets you to appreciate the small things, tenfold: a long warm shower, sitting down at last (ouch), lying there reading and not doing much more, and of course appreciating mum-made cuisine to the full....
