Strasbourg, Switzerland and knees...

Hello!

Sorry, it has been a wee while, but I've been exploring the world in which I live.  And enjoying the spring sunshine but lets not go on and on about that.  Too much more.  But it is just so nice...

Anyway, I did my 10k race in Strasbourg - I say race, I mean wheezy shuffle, successfully. I was not (quite) last, and I enjoyed the experience.  Lots of French people lined the street calling out encouraging things in French that I couldn't understand (I suppose some of them may have been saying "You look like your are going to collapse, you should stop!", but I couldn't tell the difference). It was very amusing to hear the very excitable French commentator call my name as I galloped (shuffled) towards the finish line.  Strasbourg is a very beautiful city and well worth visiting.

I have to say recovery for my old bones was fairly slow, I've just spent the last three days in Switzerland with Juliane who looked after me magnificently.  Training took a back seat while I soaked up Swiss ( and French) sunshine, cheese and chocolate.  I promise I still got lots of incidental exercise as I wandered the streets of cosmopolitan Geneva and its more picturesque medieval neighbours.


I went for a run this morning though, and feel terrific for it.

Enough for now!  I'll post a photo when I figure out how.
