Run through some parts of Paris. Was 0 over night and the footpath was icy and slippery which made things interseting in a couple of places.
Stayed near Madeleine and the streets were being blocked off at 6:30 for Johnny Haliday' s funeral. People had queued up over night to be close to the front to see the cortage go past, after 1. Made getting out interesting.

Had gone west, east and south on previous mornings, but north wasn't an option, so did a loop to the saw. Reasonably flat until about half way, then a steady climb before a steeper descent back into Cherbourg.

South this morning. Out and back run, with about 3 k of steady climb on the way out. Difference in the out and back split was 3 minutes.

Nice to get out after not being able to run for two days due to travel commitments. A broken plane meant being stuck at Dubai airport for 7 hours and having to stay the night in Paris. Unfortunately it also meant arriving in Paris at 10 pm, and having to catch the train at 6 the next morning. Then spent a full day in a meeting, so no run on Monday.
Therefore it was good to get out this morning
