Staying Fit in France

I forgot to blog about it then, so I'm doing it now, but I went on a really long run (4 km - long for me, at least!) last week and noticed some strange stuff about exercising in France.  It's bizarre to them, I guess! Everywhere I ran people were staring and men were catcalling like nobody's business.  When I was about a minute from returning to Mme. Cottave's house, a man started shouting at me and asking me why I was running! Apparently, it's true what they say: French women don't exercise.  Unfortunately, they are not as skinny as they are made out to be.  However, I will say that while some of them smell terrible...some of them wear the best perfume!  Leaves me wondering how anyone can smell that good in this kind of weather!
