I registered for a half marathon in June. It is official, I know. But shall they cancel it or not, the goal is to get prepared no matter what. That’s the fun of it. And that’s what keeps me motivated to improve – because I am very happy with my cool running routine otherwise, althoughContinue reading “Commitment”

The last movie
I don’t remember the title anymore. But the story was pretty scary: a virus spread from a small province in China all over the world. Since there were precedents on Earth before and examples of uncontrolled disease expansion – fortunately not with too deadly viruses – , governments reacted pretty quickly and isolated cities andContinue reading “The last movie”
From the sky
Magical. The flight was very long, but magical. Snowy mountains expressing all their beauty, the rivers flowing as veins in our body, the sun not completely arisen but bright in this beginning of the day. The ice was sparkling like delicate aluminum sheets disposed on an immense cream cake. Even the stewards and stewardesses wereContinue reading “From the sky”
The 5-month eco-appraisal
As mentioned in previous posts (« Minimalism« and « Consumerism« ), I’d like to reduce my waste, try not to buy new stuff and reuse and recycle a maximum (have you heard about the 3 Rs? Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle). As I moved into an empty house on the 1rst January, the challenge was high. And if IContinue reading “The 5-month eco-appraisal”
Another world
I went to see the carriage roads today. It was a while since I went there, probably during fall… I passed by the small town, by which I drive every day but never take the time to make a picture… today I did. The famous bridge, ducks swimming on the icy water, peaceful ambiance… IContinue reading “Another world”
Visitors
Just another extraordinary sunrise! It was again a morning with colors. Again a morning that calls for a walk… It was snowing a bit more yesterday. Would I meet Miss Jo today?Surprisingly I think that my dear friends the deers had the same thoughts: Curious isn’t it? The footprints look like searching exactly where Mr.Continue reading “Visitors”
Threshold
The week end was magnificent. It was sunny, bright, with gorgous sun rise and clear atmosphere…. but cold! -12.5°C… I took my super long-run backpack with enough water, a bar of cereals, a head lamp and few extra cloths in case. As usual. There was not many people on the road, only few with theirContinue reading “Threshold”
Contrasted
I like this mysterious atmosphere of black and white old movie-like…. this is a bit what I feel today as I woke up in a different world than the one I went to bed with the night before. I got no warning, no wind slapping on the windows, no drop of temperature during the nightContinue reading “Contrasted”
Another week
The weekend went fast. The weather was mild, clouds dispersed, and every day few minutes more of sunlight… I heard for the first time the children ice-skating on the ponds and joyfully screaming, while the ice itself cracked on the ledges of the lakes with a thud. Deers, squirrels and foxes running in front ofContinue reading “Another week”
