Je suis rentrée cette nuit du séjour dans

On a eu de la pluie 4 jours sur 6. J’ai casé une session de jogging + crochet rando rivière de 7 et 5 km, un tour à vélo de 20 km avorté pour cause de pluie et grêle (mes chaussures trempées ont mis 4 jours à sécher), une rando de 14 km suivie d’un jogging en descente de 5 km, un tour de vélo route de 50 km avec juste un peu de pluie, et une marche de 5 et le retour en courant.

Et j’ai l’impression d’avoir pas assez profité !

Please have 20 seconds of the pleasant forest I jogged in today as I paused by a little stream 😊

If you like green, lush, moss, wild hyacinths, ferns, trees with young tender leaves, wonderful forest trails, then you might appreciate my photographic harvest of this morning 🤩

Two funny factoids, from looking at my coaching summary and sleep trends in

Graph comparing hours of sleep and training over a month or so. I added a message emphasizing the importance of sleep over exercise and an emoji because on 6 April I exercised (4h46) 5 minutes less than I slept (4h51) that night.

😱 I stopped jogging weekly at the end of December.

Lo and behold, starting January my resting heart rate went up from 53 beats per minute to 60. sigh
Ok, ok, I’ll kick myself to return to the weekly jog!

Back from night jogging, I’m drenched. All was silent outside before I headed out, so I hadn’t realized it was raining but it was drizzling (usually when it rains here in the south, it pours and you can’t not hear it!) and then the rain picked up.
So maybe I record part of the workout as and part as swimming 🤓
Attached is a pretty picture of clouds and some glow that gave a cozy mood.

“rocher saint barthélemy”, a massive red rock bluff, in the penumbra. Vegetation around it and further down the slithering road next to the train tracks. The sea side is all red rocks.
Pink sky and clouds, pink snowy Alps, Cannes, the sea.
At the beach where long waves made a lot of white surf on the dark yellow sand. The sea is dark green and blue. It’s dusk and the yellowing sky on the horizon is above the black silhouette of the Esterel mountains where I was earlier.

View from underneath the arbutus tree. A few red berries contrast with the deep green of the leaves and the blue of the sky.
Panoramic view from a paved section overlooking the red rocks of the Esterel and the sea. There is a row of dry high weed and their long shadows on the side of the path. The sun is low and shining.
Beach side near sunset. The sand is in the penumbra and looks rather grey. A wave is rolling towards the shore full of surf. The city of Cannes is lit by the sun.
