Orienteering race 59:43 [4] 4.6 km (12:59 / km) +220m 10:29 / km
Did my first Omeet since last September!! Enjoyed running through the woods. Wasn't too fast, but gave it a good try. My shape just isn't too great (yet). Could jog most of the way except the steep and very muddy uphills. Made a few mistakes :-(, got to #7 instead of #4 but they were only 150 m apart, but still, and generally, wasn't too accurate with my approaches, often 10 m off from where I wanted to be.
I am definitely still rusty with my O-technique.

Roadbiking 32:00 [3]
On Friday, I did not get to run, the day just flew by. And today was too close to the O-meet of tomorrow. So, I just went onto the bike on rollers and did my usual 4x4min pick-ups with 3 min breaks in-between. The sweat just dripped steadily!

Nordic Walking 1:10:00 [2] 6.8 km (10:18 / km) +178m 9:06 / km
NW up to Schibe Flueh. The first time this season, and we had an incredible view over the whole area.
Yoga 45:00 [1]
my regular yoga class. I was very tired from not having slept at all the previous night. I was kind of dazed all day and down.

Running 49:57 [3] 7.5 km (6:40 / km)
Ran my Elfenau loop . Started out with Sandra, then alone. My legs and back have been hurting, and I coul not move my muscles freely, felt as if they were trapped in very tight confinement (my fascia).

Nordic Walking 1:30:00 [2] 6.4 km (14:04 / km) +170m 12:25 / km

Sunday Mar 21, 2010 #
Running 48:18 [3] 7.4 km (6:32 / km)
Ran the Bremer 7.4k loop in a warm light spring rain. Had trouble getting started but was faster by a minute over 2 weeks ago and by 10 minutes when I had started running again!
But now, my back hurts quite a bit.
Philosophical question: when did running stop being so easy, light and full of plelasure?? In my mind I would like to achieve that feeling again, but maybe that's not written in my stars anymore!

Roadbiking 32:00 [3]
It was too early after yesterday's run and PT to go for a run again. Decided to do a workout on the bike on rollers while watching the World Cup cross-country skiing chase from Falun! Did 4x4min pickups with 3 min break in-between. Quite hard!
Friday Mar 19, 2010 #
Running 48:30 [3] 7.5 km (6:28 / km) +70m 6:11 / km
Went for a run before my PT and did the Elfenau long loop. Felt quite good despite not having run in almost a week.
Wore the oldest shoes with no orthodics. i am trying this after reading the book "Born to run", to strenghten my muscles in the way they were supposed to move with no orthodics or shoe support forcing my muscles into a mechanics that is unnatural thus causing stress on my knees.
21.29 out, 27.55 back.

Yoga 45:00 [1]
Another night where I couldn't fall asleep and had to get up, drank tea with a piece of bread and honey and some magazine until my eyelids dropped shut.
Slow yoga class but quite smooth movements and felt much butter and awake afterwards.

Running 55:00 [3] 7.5 km (7:20 / km)
After leading yesterday's snowshoetrip I was so tired (I usually am!) that I stayed home most of the day and just did odds and ends including my taxes.
Also went for a run, the first one in over a week! Forgot to start the time :-(.
Elfenau-zigzag loop.

Lead another snowshoetour. After a bad weather week, it cleared up and we had a sunny and beautiful day! Went to lenk and up to betelberg where we started our tour. First up and over, then dipping down to the creek crossing, then starting our ascent to Point 2075 near the "Tube" with an incredible view! Coming the same way back.
It was a great tour, everybody made it and was very happy!!

Unspecified 1 [0]
Note: I had really tight knots in my back all week and they were really hurtful! This muscle thing or connective tissue tightness is actually getting worse. The surgeon is suggesting things for me to pursue to get rid of these ultra tight muscles that make my knees hurt and now all of my back. I am sure it is a physiological problem but have found no solution so far. Stretching definitely is for the dogs! The myofascial release seems best but is so hard to do on my own.

Teaching classes 30:00 [1]
Teaching 3 classes and, again, no Nordic Walking as the weather is just icy cold and I am sick of it. Most people cancelled and when I suggested the possibility of having a fitness class instead, 6 people showed up!! Should have done that more often this with our dismal weather!
Good class and lots of fun, and again, I got a real good workout!

Teaching classes 1:00:00 [1]
Taught 2 classes and got a great workout myself for core strength and some upper back exercises with weights.
Note: the weather turned so bad, icy cold winds and rain that the senior NWers decided they wanted to stay indoors, so we did an exercise class on the fitballs!

Ski touring 1:00:00 [2] 6.0 km (10:00 / km)
Went to the top of Betelberg (Lenk) with Urs and Christoph, down the other side and around, losing each other for almost an hour, searching for each other. Cannot do the tour up to the "Tube" but see enough for the snowshoe tour this coming Friday. Climb back up and do a few turns in the deep snow. It got very cold with north wind. Ski all the way back down to Lenk.

Running 56:38 [3] 7.5 km (7:33 / km)
Went to do the Elfenau loop, and i am amazed that I had such a long time. I did not feel too great, and it is quite cold again and snowing at times. Yikes :'(.
Friday Mar 5, 2010 #
Roadbiking 29:30 [3]
Did the training on the bike on rollers because I missed going outside and it was again, so freezing cold again!

Snowshoe Touring 2:30:00 [2] 9.5 km (15:47 / km) +250m 13:57 / km
Lead another snowshoetour. Took gondola up to Niederhorn and snowshoed up onto Burgfeldstand then straight down the southside and through woods to Waldegg and back down.
It was supposed to be a sunny day, at least in the morning, but it was overcast and quite windy from the start. The snow was hardpacked, even icy and it was quite tricky in spots.
