8/3/08

Sun 8/3 - double, 90 minutes total

AM 60 minutes, Meudon Forest. Cruising along much of the way this morning in this area which continues to impress on the second visit. The trailhead I used is near a local cemetery full of twentysomething guys who died in 1944 "pour la France." There's a steep climb up to a broad plateau where most of the trails/paths/roads are with little to no traffic. With the hubs scattered throughout there's an infinite number of possible routes. Somewhat reminiscent of Area 51 but a lot better. Humid this morning with occasional drizzle but cool. Picked up the pace the last 15 minutes.

PM - 30 minutes, Bois de Vincennes. In a huge rush to get to the park and back trying to make it back for something I ended up missing anyway, in hindsight I could have run longer and seen more of the park, which was an interesting spot. Flat as a pancake. Right leg vaguely sore, feels like I may have wrenched it running down off the plateau this morning. Humid, with higher temps than the morning made for a sticky afternoon.
