Two short runs this weekend and a lotta Belgian beer. My two runs were each of just over 3 miles, which was fine for me. I am going to try and pack in a few longer ones this week and one looooong one at the weekend.
My exploration of Belgian beers is going to have to take a back seat as I ramp up the marathon training. These beers are seriously strong.
This weekend I tried Belgian favourite, the Chimay Bleue - a dark ale which packs a whopping 9% alcohol. Chimay - in the very far south of Belgium - has been a centre for cheese and beer production since 1862 when Cistercian Trappist monks began brewing to generate cash.
I liked the beer - it has a creamy bitter sweet taste - but it is very heavy and I couldn't take more than one.
