Run No. 100 and 101. Sophia Antipolis

It starts to look more like autumn this week, cooler, with some wind, a little bit rain, that all make it the best time to run. So I started to run during noon time.

02 Oct 2012, I ran 6.7 kilometers at Sophia Antipolis, where I work.
04 Oct 2012 again with the same route but no record because I forgot my watch.

Here is the result for 02 Oct.

Run No. 99. Vieux Antibes

Days are getting better and better for running. I went out today and I just found out it's comfortable to run. However I didn't run a lot, only 6.37 kilometers. That's because I didn't run last week so ... But I plan to run at least once during the week days from this week to get me fully recovered.

Also it's the 99th run today, next time it will be 100th.

Here is the result:

Run No. 98. Cap d'Antibes

A nice Sunday!
Set off 15:30 when the sun is still high. Objective is to accomplish the Cap, or at least half of it :D

Started very slow, then at full speed when passing Antibes center. It goes up when entering the Cap so I slowed down. But as it's a long slop, I almost couldn't continue. Then I chose a nearest way back and stopped at 10 kilo.

Almost exhausted when I came back, drunk a lot of water and eat a lot too.

Here is the result.

Run No. 95,96,97. Antibes

I went out running three times recently but I haven't written anything about it. It's really too busy to have time to type some words here. Now finally, all come back to normal then I can write.

The first run after two months inactivity since June, it was on 12 Aug, I made a recovery run which was initially panned for 5 kilometers but I ended up losing myself on my way, so I ran actually 6 kilometers and walked quite a while back home.

The next run was at 26 Aug, it was still very hot at that time, exhausted after completed 5 kilometers.

Then today, it's the third recovery run. I feel already much better so I want to see if I can complete a 10 kilo. I started out aiming the Cap d'Antibes. As now I live further to the Cap than before, when I entered the Cap, it's already 5 kilometers. As a result, I turned back right there and that will be perfect to make a 10 kilo. I know I cannot finish the whole Cap, maybe after another recovery run.

Here are the results:

Run No. 94. Antibes

08 June 2012

It's been one month since my last run! Has been really busy recently especially with my second son born at the end of May...

But today, I managed to went out for a run. As it's been quite a while that I haven't run, I started with a slow pace, but soon it turned out that it's still hard to keep this pace. I have to recover.

There was no record for this run, the watch has run out of battery because I haven't used it for a whole month. The distance is about 4 kilometers.

Run No. 93. Antibes

It has been quite busy recently so this is a recovery run after 3 weeks. Days are much warmer now, and even with the thick cloud today, it feels still comfortable.

As it's a recovery run, I run really slow. Moreover, I even stopped before an atelier  enjoying a piece of beautiful poppy flower painting. The owner who is also the artist who painted all those paintings told me that one sells for 450 euros!

Ok, here is the result for today.  5.5 kilometers.

Run No. 92. Cap d'Antibes

It's the 15th April 2012 today. I went out for a Sunday's run as every Sunday. I started at a slow pace because I'm quite tired recently. The day is nice, it rained quite a lot yesterday so today it's quite cool whilst it's still sunny.

As I set off with a slow pace, I run quite casually, looking at the trees and flows along my way. The fig trees have already fruits on them. Even they are still small and green, I can imagine what they will look line in several months.

On my way, there was a seagull flying towards me, really low, I stared at him during 3 seconds while still running, we crossed each other, nothing happened. Then I spent 10 minutes thinking about him, what he wanted to do ?

I also take a little tour to the Garoupe beach which is 100 meters away from the main road I usually take. I passed by it but never went there, but today I decided to take a look. There are a few hotels and restaurants. From one of those restaurants, there comes a really good smell of BBQ with sea fruits. There is also a very small road along the rocks just beside the sea. It could be nice, I will take my family here.

Then finally I arrived at the Antibes center and it seems that I hadn't spent all my energy. But I thought I can just stop like this so I wouldn't be tired tomorrow.  So the result is 12 kilometers in 1h14min.
