Today’s outing on foot took me along quiet roads in a rural part of France’s Aude region in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The area is gorgeous in the winter sun. This would make great cycling country. Walking, it would be too far for most people. It’s a nice drive, especially if you’re not confident on French roads – almost zero traffic – but take it slow, as the roads are narrow. I jogged it and loved it. At 19 km, it’s a long run for me – further than my jet lag-busting trail run a few weeks ago.
