1. Secured race-week accommodations in Pauillac: We will stay in the guest house of Chateau Malecot , a winery located just 2 km south of the start/finish line.
2. Ordered The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer with the intent to follow it diligently. The first section of the book is aptly entitled "Making Your Own Reality."
3. Drank the first of my weekly dose of Medoc wine*, a 2005 Chateau Le Bourdieu --a very enjoyable wine, young and graceful with aromas of plum and tea leaves, easy tannins and a long finish.
I power-walked 4 kilometers to my monthly writers group (approximately a tenth of the distance I must ultimately accomplish). The Paris sky was high and bright, and the walk was invigorating, save the occasional pauses for traffic lights, posing tourists and shuffling geriatric shoppers.
Oh, and I'm now posting my second blog entry. Here's to training!
*I plan to discover a new Medoc wine each week, starting easy and working up to the full sprint of a Grand Cru Classe as a fine reward for my longer runs. [These will obviously come much later in the training process!]
