7 AM
Run 1:00:00 [3] 11.8 km (5:05 / km)
Out to Bout-du-Monde and then along the river, a reasonably classic Geneva run (although the traffic at both ends was a bit less classic). Felt reasonably solid up the early hills but not really flowing well elsewhere.
The French have a way of making even the unattractive sound attractive (a 'place de reception des dechets urbains' is a rubbish tip), but I saw a couple of good ones today: a solarium which was a 'salon de bronzage', and a van offering 'depigeonnage', which might have been hard to work out if the business hadn't been called 'Stop Pigeon'.

Run 41:00 [3] 8.1 km (5:04 / km)
A bit of a milestone today - the first time for the best part of 18 months that I've done what used to be a standard midweek double. It's not yet morning run plus Summer Series but it's a start: I'll be racing twice in a day in the not-too-distant future (although Bruce was making noises about 'resting' me from the sprint relay in Canberra) and it's as well to get used to being out twice in a day again.
The run itself was a fairly routine out-and-back along the Lake Geneva shoreline, quite pleasant apart from having to negotiate traffic early and late. You always feel faster than you actually are running in the dark.
