If you’ve read our posts, you have probably learned that we’ve had bad luck with weekend runs recently—that’s when our long runs are scheduled. This weekend we headed for our longer run on Saturday, since rain was forecast for Sunday. Good decision! The weather on Saturday wasn’t the greatest but it didn’t rain.

We ran South to Eybens (5kmk) and followed the old Route Napoléon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_Napol%C3%A9on) to Tavernolles.

Well, this was not the dead end for Napoléon, but he continued all the way to Grenoble.

In a month we’ll run a 21K race from Grenoble to Vizille on the Route Napoléon. We did it last year in time 2h 21min 34s. The distance measured by my Garmin actually was 22.1K.
