BAck again after too long a break. Did some good runs in Luchon, in the French pyrenees. Especially 2 .5 hours (30 min walk) from Superbagneres to Lac dóo. Steve and the kids were there waiting for me. It rained from the col. The run up to the col was very difficult. It was day 3 of time of the month, so naturally it was difficult. From the col running in the rain was interesting. Cold and a little intimidating, running very high at 2,000 metres with virtually no clothes on, a peaked hat helped. My ipod almost died. I had the common sense to switch it off. Another great run was the one along past loads of cows. Cannot remember the name. But have ambitions to do 2/3 hours along that ridge and then down to the camp site. Since the pyrenees have more stamina due to more haemoglobin. Ran with Lisa, after she cycled. Only pico de aguila, but still good.
