Going on holidays for a week tomorrow. In the ass end of the French countryside.
Internet will be hard to get so be nice while I'm away.

I'm back from the countryside. Definitely not a countryside guy.

Have you got a smartphone or anything? Wondering if you could have gotten online through 3G.

The 'minimal fee (4%)' your leaders once more want to introduce on top of the price of tablets and smartphones and the like to gain money to 'preserve French culture'.

I'm considering entering the Lyon semi-marathon. That's a 21K run. I did 10K last year and it was no trouble, just needed a some Sunday morning jog as training.
Now, the most I've ever run is 12K so I guess I would have to start running again now (Semi-marathon is in October).

Sounds like you've got a lot of training to do! If you didn't have any trouble with the 10K then I'm sure you can build up enough to do the 21K.

I'm sure enough I can do the 21K but I'd like to do it within 2h and this will need training. I did the 10K in exactly one hour which was the time I had in mind.

I will happily sit on a golf cart driving in front of you while you run eating a cheeseburger to help you train
