A little bit of everything

warningWarning: fuzzy blog entry !

More and more people keep asking me why I've not posted anything last week. A couple of answers and notes:
  • when's the last post on Tbo's blog ;) ? (do not invert month/day...)
  • I'm quite happy to know that some people get kind of addicted to this blog
  • nothing really exciting happened in my life last week...
Post-UTMB thoughts:
It's hard to believe, but the race went actually pretty easier than I expected. I also recovered really faster than I thought I would. Probably because I didn't push it hard enough though... Next year, on top of the 1st objective which is obviously to finish again, I'll then set as a 2nd one to finish in 32h or so. I'll probably dedicate my year training specifically for this event. Which means less speed training, longer distance and more mountain training :). Amsterdam and maybe London marathons will be some kind of secondary events. I found running a marathon was a great thing, but running in the nature is much more enjoybable.
I was thinking about organising my own trails in UK or in France, to be run alone or in a small group. Why not try to run the West Highland Way (from the north of Glasgow to Fort William) in one stage for example ?

I've started to run again on Sunday, but far too much as I've cumulated more than 38km in 4 days. As I'm a bit sick, I'm resting again for a couple of days.
Actually the more I run, the more I need to run. I guess there's a limit. Have I reached this limit ? Some people (including Guang-Zhong, sic) started to tell me I'm running too much. That's maybe true, I don't know. Have your say by posting a comment !
