Skiing all day in Adelboden. Great day with deep blue sky and very warm temps, almost 40 degrees on 2000 m!! Had a huge fall (like I cannot ever remember falling ever!!). On a steep slope fell (don't remember how), summersaulted backwards twice, lost one ski and kept sliding and twirling about 100 m trying desperately to keep relaxed for not twisting a knee or hurting my shoulder again. Whew! At the bottom, lay sprawled for a moment, realising that nothing was hurt, but shaking badly, snow everywhere, even my left ear was full of snow :-)).

C • Ooops, I'm glad you're alri... 2

Run the upper trails through Dählhölzli and Elfenau, down zigzag trail and turnaround back along Aare. First felt fast, but then, could not keep up with pace second half.
27.45 up, 27.23 back flat part.

Had a fondue up on Chuenisbärgli and skied down at 10 pm under starry skies and almost fullmoon. So great. Took a little road in places and down the world cup slalom slope in other places.

Run up to Ruedi's Hüttli (again, no time to go all the way to Bleiki!); 34.38 up and 17.38 down, time has improved :-)).
At the beginning felt lethargic, but then better and better.

Teach yoga class in am and sweat is running down! Pretty hard today with a good flow though; at lunch teach a private session mostly for back and abd. strength with some calming aspects.

A quick NW-session with my group; go up trails on Harder, then down to pigeon-trail and Goldswil. Back along the Aare. We have our annual NW dinner in the Bellini afterwards :-).

Winter conditioning class; teach upper body strength class with bands on the ball with lots of core and balancing parts.

Run at Lunch with Zimmermann jun.; stay together until Lake of Thun along the Lombach, whew, this is quite fast for me; run back by myself and take it easier. 19.32 to first bridge; 9.06 down for 28.38 one way and 27.52 back; all in all the time is ok, some day, I want to make it under 55 min.

Evening NW; a lot of people show up, so I divide them in two groups, and I have to work hard with moving back and forth between them so that everyone got his appropriate workout (including me!). To Lombach, then through neighborhoods of Unterseen.

Teach my 2 Monday core classes; work with bands for upper body strenghth. Quite some fun :-)
