oh la la, it's been 10 days. not that i've been lazy, it's spring and i've been riding mon velo (my bicycle). in the interest of not killing myself (ok, so i was a bit lazy) i took a week off running. my thighs are killing me.
now i'm back and into a major town, Dieppe.
the Canadian War Memorial. What can you say? For all the kites and deck chairs it is hard to think of anything else on that beach. It is grey and rocky and forever blood stained in my mind.
On a lighter note, there's a fantastic port. You see these boats? One day I shall be there on my boat. Oh yes I will.
Distance today: 6.4 km
Distance to date: 236.4 km
and a bloody hard run today. i was motivated today by the movie i watched last night, Julie and Julia. Frankly I could have skipped all the Julie parts and just watched Meryl Streep play Julia Child. I think it is time to buy myself a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. This is a guarantee that I'll keep running, do you have any idea how much that woman loved butter?
More countryside that looks like a patchwork quilt.
darn, another big chunk where i'm missed runnng, this time due to a cold. as i'm back outside i didn't run in the spring chilly air. this project is like everything else, at the beginning it's very exciting, and the end is easy because you can see the finish line. it's the middle part that is hard. that's the part where sometimes it's just plain old work. however i am back and determined to keep going. i promise i will make it to marseilles.
running through the countryside, canadian cemetaries. sigh.
