20 janvier 2018. Dans ma tête, je suis! Mais, dans le miroir… In my head, I am! But, in the mirror… AND a good example from across the pond.
Dans Ma tête Dans ma tête: I’m BRISK, I’m active, I’m fast, and energetic. I’m young, I’m limber, I’m awake. Dans ma tête – I’m all these things. In the mirror: I’m slow, I’m idle, I’m listless, and tired. I’m old, I’m stiff, I’m always falling asleep. In the mirror – I’m all these things.…

Novembre 13, 2017. J’ai Couru 50 Miles! C’est Fini. I Did It!
I ran 50 miles in 11 hours and 30 minutes – C’est fini! Je suis très heureux. Mais, je ne peux pas parler français.

The first 5…
