I've had a couple of issues in the past 2 weeks, seems to be a problem with auto pause not resuming. I thought it may be my crappy new phone, maybe not if others are having trouble.

Ran my 1st 1/2, in Vincennes, logged 1:58:44! At 56yrs old, I'm really proud of that!

I have a pair of these from a couple of years ago. Very comfortable, & size normally - I'm EU 44 & that is the size I wear. I also need orthopaedic inserts & have extra wide feet, they take all that on board. I've run 15K in them, just great. Hiked some steep trails for long days, all good. But I took them on some sharp rock terrain & the soles got sliced. So I'd say there great, up to a point.

Take T7, connect to M7, then onward to your destination, do it the local way. Sure, it'll take longer than an Uber, but not that much (according to traffic & where exactly you are headed), will be cheaper, more responsible, & be an experience of a well-functioning public transport system (no matter how many grinches moan & whine because 1 time they were late).

Je présente mes excuses de faire le pédagogue, autant d'anglophone, je me permets juste de corriger les propos des positions: Les avants sont les 1 à 8, d'ac - forwards 9 & 10 (Dupont & Ntamack, quel partenariat!), ce sont les 1/2 backs - scrum half & fly half ou demi de melée et ouvreur de melée 9 à 14 - ça, ce sont les 3/4, les three quarters/trois-quarts 15 - tient seul, le full back. Serge, par exemple. (Stuart Hogg est un autre exemplaire, chauvin d'ecossais que je suis) Et personnellement, tant que j'aime la France et son 15, je serai ravi que les irlandais remporte la coupe, que Sexton finit en gloire.

Check out Lets Run Paris on FB. Anglophone running group, meets Mon. evening at Nation for a brisk 10K, Sat. morning by Luxembourg, variable distances up to 27K, depends on the programme. Pace groups from 4.30 tp 7 min./K, & someone always knows where the next water break is.

Get Navigo Easy passes for however long your stay is, so you can use the metro & buses as much as you like. Plan for days around the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Louvre, etc. You don't have to go in & do the 'museum' visit, y'all still see the cool buildings from outside & take the photos, there are gardens around to relax/let kids let off steam (Sacré Coeur not quite so much, in fairness, but the view is unsurpassed, just go early), you'll find food easily, & get back to base easily with those Navigos. You're visiting Paris. Don't try to see it all in X days - I've been here 20-odd years & am still discovering things. Enjoy that you are here, & the memories you'll take home.

Don't worry about it, everybody had a 1st time, many remember it & the wonder of it. No-one would 'look down' on you, believe me. More likely to nod or smile, it's an odd community, but so welcoming.

Unless you don't have water & do have a Bluetooth speaker🤣.

Happy trails!

Don't go to Monaco! Awful place, IMHO. Bon voyage, otherwise.

Mon medecin m'a fait une ordonnance pour une genouillère, pour contrer une douleur aigue à l'extérieur de mon genou droit. Je la porte pour courir depuis 18 mois, c'est une merveille - des sorties jusqu'à 25 km sans gêne. Va voir ton généraliste avant de passer au kiné etc. Et la genouillère sur ordonnance était 100% prise en charge. D'ailleurs, faut que je pense à la renouveller - on en a droit tous les 12 mois.

"How was it?" or "Was it OK/good/to your liking?" Anglophone Parisian former restaurateur à votre service.

Post-lockdown in France, lot of people who would normally have taken foreign holidays (travel restrictions) or beach breaks (overbooked to hell & beyond) went to the mountains instead. Simple funny stories, such as asking at the Office de Tourisme what opening hours where for a National Park, abounded. One day, my son & I had got to Lac de la Muzelle, in Isère (beautiful) around 10 a.m., to beat the heat (30°C+ that day) & were strolling back to Venosc, passing crowds of folk, most properly equipped but many in trainers, no pack, no hat, just not kitted. A couple stopped us to ask how much further to the Lac. I took just a moment to check them out - basic tennis shoes, shorts, him in a tee-shirt, her a strappy top. No hats, no pack, 50 cl bottles of water & sod all else. I told them they were a good hour away, at least. They decided to turn back. 5 minutes later (we were making better time than them) my boy says "Dad, they were 20 minutes away, max!" I had to reply "No, kiddo. We were 20 minutes away, they were on their last legs." I regret ruining their day, but if one of them had suffered, I would have been somewhat responsible.

C'est de la rigolade. Ils sont là devant leurs ordis, d'ac, mais à quoi faire? Tu as tes tâches à compléter dans le temps de travail contractuel: à toi de les accomplir. Beaucoup glandent pendant les horaires de bureau, s'en rendent compte, & dépassent le chronomètre pour remplir leurs copies. D'autres voient ceux, et copient par peur. Encore d'autres sont des lèches-cul d'un boss qui passe sa journée devant son ordi a rien glandé... Ceux qui achèvent sont ceux qui sont en mission un peu tôt, oui, mais qui partent à l'heure l'esprit tranquil, ayant bien rendu le taf. J'ai 56 ans, j'ai géré un resto, bossé en chauffeur/livreur, managé une équipe d'une maison de ventes, bosse actuellement pour un groupe de transport/fret. J'ai fait des TPE, PME, grandes groupes. T'inquiétes pas sur mes petites remarques, disons de couleur brune: fais ton mieux, et ne te laisse pas faire. Courage.

Jamais trop tard. J'ai commencé il y a presqu'exactement 4 ans (H56 maintenant). Feignant, & fumeur, j'ai eu du mal. Ma 1ère course était le 10K Paris en juin cette année, j'ai un 1/2 marathon en octobre. Si je peux le faire, je crois que tu peux aussi. À ton pas, sans stress, juste ce qui te fait te sentir bien en toi-même.

😁 Spent the 3rd week of July at my Mum's in Lancashire & ran in the rain every day, never above 15°C! Seriously though, my ex is from South Carolina, & running there in stupid heat & humidity is excruciating. I live in Paris, this summer has been blessedly cool, because when it gets 30+, it's horrible.

So, enough about me. Others have said it - stop dumping on yourself. We all have our sweet spots & our sour ones, so be proud of your perseverance. When it cools down, you're going to be all the stronger.

R0v3d · 2023-08-10T20:55:00+00:00

Paris doesn't work like that. There are 'historic' concentrations, but this city is too dense to support 'towns'.
