Come back trail

First run in two weeks after being infected by the family.  A heavy cold that decided to stay for 2 weeks. 

Did not feel great out there today as was coughing and spluttering but was good to shake off the cobwebs and surprised to see the ks ticking by at 415s. It was hot too on an absolutely stellar London summers day. 

Will jog around Park Run tomorrow and catch up with some of the crew.

On other matters am beside myself as the Tour kick starts tomorrow. I have taken on bets with London and Amsterdam colleagues that Froome will win. You heard it here first and think he will win by 3 mins.  With Alpe D"Huez on the penultimate stage it is going to be exciting to the very end. He just needs to stay upright in that treaturous first week. It's going to be epic and a little annoyed with myself that have not organised a trip to visit. 2009 and 2012 were absolute highlights and even dragged the entire family in 12 to see Brad in yellow lead the pelton down the Rue De Rivoli on that final circuit in Paris with Cav taking out the stage. Interesting to see whether Cav can get his mojo back with Kittel injured.

My predictions:

1. Froome 

2. Quintana 

3. Nibali 

4. Contador

Massive sporting weekend all round as my Aussie mates battle it out at the Gold Coast Marathon. Am excited for them just writing about it. 

Special mention too for Heather Watson who battled back to be 2 points away from victory. She had Serena on the ropes and has a big future. It was the best women's tennis match I have seen by a country mile.
