Well, it was NOT another of those typical frozen February weeks for training these past few days. Michigan winter training was replaced by some running in France this past week. While long pants were still required for early morning runs, there were no freezing temperatures in Celsius OR Farenheit. Fun runs all on the streets of Bordeaux and Nimes and on the shores of the Mediterranean in Nice but maybe the very best was in the French countryside near Fontenay Le Comte on a beautiful morning with Jen Fracassi while visiting her mother Charlene and Jen's four delightful and welcoming children Katie, Gabi, Joey and Ellie (who gave me a drawing). They are Americans there for the school year and they're finding the cultural differences a fascinating learning experience.
Back to a frigid 20 mile run here at Kensington yesterday carrying an extra five pounds from the past week's fabulous cuisine. So worth it.
