Day in Kortrijk

I started off the Holiday Monday with an 11K race in Kortrijk which I was completely unprepared for because I was unaware that it was going to be over 80 degrees F.  But it was a good last training before my 20K even though I finished a bit slower than I was hoping.  The rest of the day I hung out with my colleague's friends as they all grew up there so they showed me around the town as we went from one patio to the next enjoying the weather. We started in the city center for ice cream and it was amazing.

They even took me out to the countryside and we got a drink at a pub that they think I could have been the first American ever to visit!
