Running 1:35:29 [3] 12.45 km (7:40 / km) +194m 7:07 / km
Wanted to squeeze in a Long run today. Went from home up the Aare to the Auguetbridge (covered wooden Bridge). Did ok despite the fact that the legs felt like lead and my head was wrapped in bubble wrap. Still enjoyed it tremendously. After snow all night, the sun was out and it felt wonderful. Some ice now on groomed trails, and some slush other places.

Running 1:33:05 [3] 12.74 km (7:19 / km) +327m 6:29 / km
Finally kicked myself out the door and did the "Long" run that I had tried 3 weeks ago. Went surprisingly well. All the way on the Western part got passed by a woman runner while I was retying my shoes, then she waited and we kept on chatting almost to "my" end. That is, it was a Little fast and before the Long 2k uphill section I ran out of steam. But it was so nice to talk to somebody. Maybe we will meet up again?
The time reflects at least 5 min of chatting when I showed her the way back to her Loop.
I noticed that it said that we should have sunshine. Well, that's above the fog and the clouds way high on 3000 m or in an airplane. It is supposed to stay that Grey the whole week while higher up it is beautiful. Grr.

Running 51:04 [3] 7.13 km (7:10 / km) +297m 5:56 / km
Did some Matti-sitting from Saturday evening and all day yesterday. Quite some fun! I enjoy him tremendously.
Felt like giving myself a treat today and went to the West-side of the Bremgartenwoods and did that loop there which is part of the Long 17km Loop that I did (not the whole thing) some weeks ago. I liked this part because it is mostly in the woods and on pretty trails along a Creek that I am not that familiar with.
The greyness today was not that complete in as I could see some milky blue sky for a few minutes.
Note: Have you ever heard of the forest Service personnel vaccuming away the tree leaves from the bigger trails so it is safer for people of all ages to walk on?? I think it is pretty decadent and every fall I marvel at our luxurious society. Some little section maybe close to very dense Population, I might agree on. But today there were long section of wider trails just entirely cleared of leaves. TsTsTs

Kicked myself out the door and went to Wabern for a run over the Gurten. The weather was not quite as bad as it felt from the Apartment. I had to do a longer way around as they were cutting Wood on "my" trail. Cold temps.

Unspecified 1 [1]
Monday was my "work" day in Interlaken.
Tuesday I went to Cormondrèche to babysit Matti. I met Sandra and him at the pediatritian's Office. He has blisters in his mouth on hands and feet and was very cranky and not eating much since Saturday. Luckily, he seems to be a bit better and was rewarding me with some smiles and some "talking". Sandra did not feel good either (after 3 nights up, it's no wonder) and was taking a Long nap. Went on a walk with Matti, he was all bundled up and quiet in his warm bag.

Crosstrainer 45:00 [2]
Was busy all day with Little things in the Apartment and cleaning up. Did the crosstrainer in the evening. It was hard after the first 30 min. But I was watching the beginning of the Hunger Games (don't like all the gory stuff and looked away).

Orienteering race 57:00 [5] 6.24 km (9:08 / km) +259m 7:34 / km
Duo Night-O race: a first for me as this race is something "inofficial", a score-night O in Teams of two. Most were in couples and there were some famous couples doing it. Definitely an Insider fun race.
I was asked to fill in, and it was actually lots of fun and tough with the choice first after the start. My Intention was to look at the map and the controls with the Points, but in the hectic of the start, we did not do that. So, for us slower Senior womean it was either go to the right-side Woods or the Little further left-sided Woods with a common section in-between. So we were quite happy with it having no idea how we fared. But we came in second as the other Loop had more Points.
Ah, and of course, most of the younger and fitter Senior men took all the controls!
And, did I say it poured cats and Dogs but during the race one Forgets except that it's hard to see sometimes when the own breath mixed with the raindrops and the view is very foggy ;-)

Running 25:32 [3] 2.88 km (8:52 / km) +5m 8:48 / km
Pretty quick longish run back as it was raining with gusty winds so we got cold quickly. I still had my backpack at the sign-in place (and spaghetti dinner place afterwards) but the showers were a Little ways off. I could not find my way back as all those buildings looked similar. Was searching and occasionally asking as there were ice hockey and Soccer fields and changing rooms everywhere. In the dark and rain, I really had lots of Trouble with directions and was very lost. Tststs.
PS: started my watch too late and adjusted the time and km.

Running 57:10 [3] 7.88 km (7:15 / km) +282m 6:09 / km
Springtime temperatures today! So weird to run through the golden Woods when the air feels like spring. There are still some leaves on bushes that have remained green. We have not had any cold nights, so the leaves are very slow in turning Color.
Did the Elfenauloop, the legs felt heavy but I was actually Little faster than last time when I felt so light and fast. How the own Impression can be wrong sometime?

Working in Interlaken and as always, hurrying to get all the plants watered and trimmed. Those are always intense hours while I am trying to get through with the plants and the decorations and more. But always fun to be up there again and do some visiting with the other People in the Hotel.

Crosstrainer 45:00 [3]
Spent the afternoon with Sandra and Matti. Occupied Matti for quite some time by having him in the backpack while I was doing housework (vacuuming, folding clothes, doing dishes) and he was so absorbed in watching he even forgot he could be hungry ;-)! Nice workout for me as he is getting heavier and I was useful while Sandra had some quiet time getting some other things done. Fun afternoon.
Coming home, I did a workout on the crosstrainer while watching TV.
I had again sore calf muscles the next day. I should get used to that by now!

THE big day of moving Urs's mom into the Senior Residence. Spent 6 hours working quite hard mostly unpacking and putting things already in their right places. At 5 pm all the boxes were unpacked and the Apartment looked quite nice and liveable. A good start for her new life.
I was a Little sore the next day from all the hauling and and physical work.

Dropped off Urs at the Train Station on his way to Sydney. Went to the Bremgartenwald (I haven't been there in a very Long time). Caught a break between heavy rains and strong winds. Had some wind, some light rain and mostly some sunshine.
My first Long run in over a year or more! I was very proud how well it went.
