Lucca run, 17 Jan

We decided to drive down to Lucca, about 50 min from Lerici, to run on the wall of the city, a first time for my friend Debi. I have done this course umpteen times when I lived near Pisa. Saturday turned out to be a perfect day for running, cool and sunny, lots of people were out jogging, bicycling, skating or strolling on the wall. We did 2 slow turns around the city (the wall is 4K around), then tried a run-5-min, walk-5-min to give our legs a break. Completed 12.5K in 1:34, my first long run of the year. Unfortunately we forgot to take photos which was a pity since the weather was clear and there was a big open market in town, next to one section of the wall. Ah well, maybe next time.
