We took the cable cars up to the Aiguille du Midi at 3800m for some thin-air acclimation.



For the first time we’ve been up here, it was totally clear and dead calm and the Panorama cable car to Italy was running, so we decided to take it.

Great decision- it was absolutely spectacular.

We had lunch in the Rifugio Torino, which was in thick cloud, but the way back was clear again. We hiked a bit from the mid-station, before the trip back down.

Made it to Chamonix. Pics in Bash’s log.
Despite a jet-lag headache, we managed to stay up and tour the town, procure the requisite wine, cheese, coffee and croissants.
Also tartiflette for dinner- death by cheese.

Easy jog to work with the big boy. Transported a MegaZucchini for a staff member to turn into loaf.

Commute with AD. Ran into the elusive BGY on the trail!

Commute with the big boy. Easy pace on the return in the (dry) heat.

Ran trails north of 9 with AD. Some of my favourite local trails with hills, some technical bits, some open fast doubletrack, lots of shade and 6 swims for the pooch.

Pushed hard- last hard run before OCC
