Getting fit - continuation!

Oh yes, we're on a roll now! Pat, Kev and I did a loop from their house in Espies (794m) up the lane and into the woods, reaching 1095m (same route that we did with the dogs on the 22 December) before dropping back down narrow footpaths (many centuries old) to the Boussenac road to complete the loop back to Espies. A total of 300m of ascent over 3.4kms, followed by 6.4kms of downhill/level running on the second half of the run. I felt amazingly strong and fit although my quads were aching after the descent. Taff enjoyed his outing too and was a pooped pooch when I got home :-)

Plan for early next week is for a 16km VTT mountain bike ride down St Girons way following which we will dump the bikes and run a 7km loop section of the same route. Hmm, that will be interesting.
