I have “run” the 42km Nice to Cannes Marathon every year since it started in 2008. In recent years it has become less of an athletic challenge and more of a struggle – I am 67 years old.
The weather was once again sunny and clear blue sky. Not so warm though as it is November. The sea was really flat which was a massive contrast to the apres storm state of last year. So much so that I made a small video comparing to two.
Four weeks before the race I had hurt my hip so had not run at all hoping for it to fix. I had also signed up for the Athens Marathon the following weekend followed by a cruise of the Greek Islands so I was really hoping not to damage anything today.
