Several months have passed since I last wrote on this blog. This is mainly because I moved back to France and made Paris my new home after 7 years spent in the UK. I started a new job back in November 2011 which took a lot of time and attention hence the long silence...
Moving back to France was a big decision for me as I was really enjoying living in London and I had my training routine pretty much worked out (gym during the week, cycling club & open water training sessions at Heron Lake during weekends…). Paris is a bit of a disappointment as it is not a city as convenient as London for sports. Parcs are either minuscule or far away from the center, no lakes, no Richmond parc for my saturday morning ride and no leafy riverbanks for my Sunday run…
That being said, I still managed to train for and run the Paris Marathon back in April this year (I will write about it in a next post). During one training session I met with the friend of a friend called Olivier who is writing a fantastic blog about running. Reading him really did give me the desire to start writing on my own blog again about my sports experiences.
I am glad because thanks to the triathlon and the running in particular, I have managed to recreate a social network extremely quickly. It has made my return to France much easier than I had expected.
Great to hear from your blog again! Reading you will help me going back into doing sports after the pregnancy :) Can't wait to hear about your marathon experience!
