i'm off on holiday to France with my family. we're journeying down to the mid-Loire Valley. there's an old wine-pressing estate with four gites that we found last October and booked right then. going via the EuroTunnel for the first time, which should be an experience.. Joe is very excited about the whole trip - especially as the place has it's own swimming pool and lots of stuff set up for families with small kids. we are hoping for the best of weather, and it looks like it shouldn't be too bad - if not scorching hot.
there's every chance i should be able to train a little while i'm there. it looks like a lovely region to get out and run - and hopefully mornings at the gite will provide enough distraction for the kids so that Poll can have a lie-in and i can fit a few miles in too. maybe the pool's even big enough to do some laps. will obviously not be able to restrain myself on the food and wine front as usual.. it's France after all! apparently the local markets are great, so there'll be lots for us to cook, eat and enjoy. can't think of a better holiday.. [Disclaimer here for Joe that it's not near the sea, and that's undesirable - but a pool makes up for that just enough.]
i'll have no internet there to distract and leech away the hours. so to keep this fresh, i've scheduled a few posts through the week. won't be the usual daily training report, but have tried to stay focused on the running and why it's got me hooked..
