Running 52:23 [3] 10.3 km (5:05 / km)
shoes: Asics Kayano 21
Lovely morning for a run - not too cold, no rain, no wind. Heaps of people out running today - the Paris half marathon is on in a month, followed by the Paris marathon in early April. This is always a really busy time of year for the running community here in Paris. Started out slow with the intention of doing 8-9km. Picked up the pace after a couple of km as was feeling okay. Went around Hippodrome Longchamp - first time in a while - and then back up through the Bois. Felt good enough that I decided to try and break 10km for the first time in a long while. Achieved that and even felt okay all the way.

A busy day lined up so had to squeeze in a short ride early in the morning. Good ride, nothing special, but should have cycled around the block at the end to get over 40km :-).

Cold morning ride. Did 5 X the Mont Valerian hill. A bit boring 5 times up and down, but it is a good 8% climb and I found the going pretty tough. But I do need to get stronger on hills and there is only one way to do that!

Cold and windy for this lunchtime run. Didn't feel great and had to stop a couple of times to stretch out. But got another one under my belt ...

Cycling 1:20:00 [3] 38.0 km (2:06 / km)
Back into the early morning rides and it was windy but dry for the occasion. Good ride, bt not particularly strong on the few hills I encountered. Days don't seem to be getting any longer yet! Garmin seemed to work fine until the end but then it didn't manage to download the whole ride (just the first 3.5 km). Not sure what is going there and hope it doesn't signal a broken GPS (but then that just provides a good excuse for buying a new model :-)).

Running 44:23 [3] 8.5 km (5:13 / km) +40m 5:06 / km
shoes: Asics Kayano 21
Out for a late lunchtime run. Much warmer January day at 13 degrees and drastically overdressed with a thermal and t-shirt, but was glad to have worn shorts. Good run after a slowish warm-up. Actually felt like I was running for a while there! But am drastically out of shape for any sort of hill. Even the slightest rises in the Bois left me breathless. Will have to go and find some hills once I have a few more runs under my belt ...
