Running 52:45 [3] 7.53 km (7:00 / km) +214m 6:08 / km
Went to the Bremer, intended to do a longish slow run, but my legs were "talking back at me" for feeling yesterday's effort. Quads and calfs did not want to work much. So I decided to shorten my run, take it easy and felt the lactic acid built-up slowly moving out. By the end I felt much better but was already back at the car.
Very sore throat!

Teaching of good yoga lesson, really loosened up my muscles and fascia!
Nordic Walking 1:25:00 [2] 9.5 km (8:57 / km) +64m 8:39 / km
NW class, only 2 people showed up (my favorite people!) and we did a long and fast loop to Lombach down to Lake of Thun, the ruins Wyssenau and along the Aare back. Very crisp pace and we discussed everything in the world, it was so interesting and great!

Running 49:45 [3] 7.58 km (6:34 / km) +223m 5:43 / km
Wanted to go run before it started to rain but when I stepped out the door, it was already raining :-(. Went anyway but put on a hat to protect the glasses. Was disappointingly slow. What's with me these last 2 weeks that it seems I run with the handbrake on? Can't figure it out except that I have backpains for the last 2 weeks, too.

Orienteering race 58:49 [5] 6.16 km (9:33 / km) +157m 8:28 / km
Long Distance Swiss O-Champs: we were running in the Jura and above the fog in beautiful sunshine. Easy O-race over meadows. The hardest thing was trying to keep track of the single trees and rough open areas, however, the controls were sometimes visible from far away. I truly enjoyed the area and the O-race, but at the same time realised that I was running with the pulled hand-brake. It wasn't a good "running" day with some back pain and leg tightness. And I only ended up being 22nd from almost 40 women in my class, many were way faster even though I usually would beat them. Oh well, it was a beautiful day out anyway.
Running 13:56 [3] 0.93 km (15:04 / km) +138m 8:38 / km
Warm-up to the start going all uphill and as usual for me (and I like it that way) being a little short on time.

A little orienteering jog, tried to take it easy as I was planning to run an O-race the next day. Nice woods!
O-camp race for the kids, I shortcut and collected 2 controls.

Orienteering 1:14:09 [2] 7.0 km (10:36 / km) +276m 8:51 / km
Went to an O-camp from Sandra and Marc's O-club with "their" juniors to help with cooking. (I probably should put cooking as a new category on AP as it really involved some heavy work with those huge pots and quantities we were preparing. What intensity would peeling and cutting 11 onions be??) .
Did an easy jog up to where they had their training session and did a loop from there with the O-map alternating between slow Oing and checking out the map, helping some of the youths and a little faster Oing, but never really pushing it. Fun map to orienteer with.

Orienteering 53:49 [3] 7.81 km (6:53 / km) +232m 6:00 / km
Went to do the Bremer 7k+ loop, expected to be slower as had back pain, but it went better the longer I ran. Ok time considering the fact that I am just starting out again.

Teaching classes 1:00:00 [1]
Teaching of my 2 Monday classes; did the Nordic Walking as a fitness class as it was raining cats and dogs (big rock- and mudslides in our region, several roads and traintracks got washed away; the Aare in Bern was close to flooding, it had raised 2 meters within the last few days, unbelievable).

Orienteering race 52:34 [4] 5.77 km (9:06 / km) +202m 7:45 / km
Did a local O-meet and was surprised that 15 women had signed up in my age category!! Took it as a fast training and getting back into orienteering. Surprisingly was leading at the 6th control, then made a few smallish mistakes on the very short legs, and had trouble with the directions towards the end (it was a very flat forest and many had problems with veering off without noticing it) and finished 8th place :-(. Should have taken it more seriously and concentrate to the end.
Orienteering 11:46 [1] 1.17 km (10:04 / km) +55m 8:09 / km
Warm-up to the start of the O-race.

Another no training day: the weather has changed, cold, rainy, uninviting. Could not get the motivation up today to go for a run or any exercise. Oh well.

Rainy day, did not feel like training or doing anything physical at all. I also still had sore muscles, so that was a good excuse to let them heal.

Yoga 1:00:00 [1]
Teaching my fitness yoga class. Did it ever feel good again to stretch muscles, tendons and ligaments out after such a long break with little exercise at all!
I also felt sore a bit from Tue classes and We downhill running.

NW with a strong group today! We went up to the Schibeflueh and beyond to the bench to look out over the valley when it started raining! Quite hard to come down again as the rocks and roots were so slippery.
Good workout and felt my quads from yesterday's downhill run.

Running 1:01:30 [3] 5.8 km (10:36 / km) +350m 8:09 / km
Do lots of stuff at home, unpacking my bag (it arrived one day later), and went running kind of later in the afternoon (the Garmin battery was empty), Went to run up the Gurten and back down. Slower than usual but I am still easing back into training as my muscles and fascia are kind of sore frome the last two days.
Wonderful day.

Running 46:46 [2] 6.1 km (7:40 / km) +146m 6:51 / km
Came back from Namibia this am (6 am landing!!) and had another vacation day at home, so sweet. Went for a jog late in the afternoon to see how it feels like to jog/run.
Will have to pick up my exercise again as we did almost no exercise at all: running is dangerous in most places we were in Namibia (whatever runs is considered food by many animals).
Lots of sitting in our car, on safari vehicles, at the pool, in the lodges watching incredible sunsets over the desert and indulging in delicious food that was served! The trip was very exciting, we saw 4 of the big 5 (lions, elephants, rhinos and leopards) and many more such as giraffes, zebras, all kinds of antilopes, hyenas (interesting animals!), wild dogs, ostriches, jackals and others.
