From cycling to running

stats of the week: run 21 km, cycled 131 km, gym 3 h
stats of the previous week: run 37 km, cycled 95 km, hiked 9 km

I am still doing just short runs as I have to prepare for the Gran Fondo Luberon which takes place next Sunday, a bike event of 115K and 1,600 m of ascent. From then on I will concentrate more on running and try to build up longer distances. Plans are to run a half marathon at the Grand Raid Camargue on 14th Oct. 

At least we could participate at the Course en Vendanges in Puyricard near Aix-en-Provence, a really nice and well organised running event with nearly 600 runners doing the two distances of 5.6 and 10.8 K. On a warm Saturday evening I was happy to run quite easily a pace of 5:32 min/K at the undulated route and I finished after 58:36 as 2nd of 7 in my age group.
