stats of the previous week: run 18 km, cycled 42 km
Recovering from the 4th leg of our Tour around Germany took some time and is not yet done. Thighs are still sore and adductors hurt. Getting back to running doesn't feel easy. 7 weeks to Valencia Half Marathon now, hopefully enough time to build up some distance. When running through my home forest for the first time after two years I tumbled heavily but luckily only the left wrist still hurts. I hoped to take part at 2 running events but both are already sold out: The Ventoux Trail Run and Grand Raid Camargue. Instead we will take part at the Course des Vendanges at Puyricard what we enjoyed two years ago. This is near Aix-en-Provence and we will combine it with a dinner there like last time.
It's good to be back to our pretty french village, Mollans-sur-Ouvèze, in the very North of the Provence. Tourist season has not yet finished. The Bar du Pont is still busy, foreign visitors abound, obviously many from Germany, like us. A sign at the bar now says that dogs are no longer allowed at the terraces - a surprising and not really friendly move by owners Patrick and Valerie. But nobody seems to pay attention and dogs are regularly seen on the front terrace. Monday evening with Pizza Roberto is the main weekly event now, very well visited, and meanwhile decorated with french banners and lamps above the place.
The Bistro - the other bar - is still closed after its sudden shutdown in summer. Rumours tell that it had to stop business due to hygiene deficits. Better not think about details.
