Late pm run loop to Muribad parking and back along the Aare; first feel very clumsy, but eventually, muscles kept getting stronger. 28.39 to zigzag, 5.04 to parking and 33.43 total parking turnaroound; 4.17back zigzag and 26.34 or total 30.51 back.
My left knee hurt more and more from the impact of skiing yesterday :-(.
Running by the animal park right at dusk, there was quite some activity: 5 small ibex (barely a year old and so so cute) were fighting about a high seat on a tree trunk which held only one or the most maybe two of them. But they were crowding 3, one always stepping on another one's back. They were "play-fighting" with their tiny horns and shoving each other off. I couldn't help laughing. Did not see "my" two lynx tonight, but the flamingoes were making a racket together with tons of crows and starlings. Fun time!

Ski all day on the Schilthorn! Beautiful day. I felt my left knee now, it is a little swollen and complained when I skied down the hard-packed slopes, so... I injured myself a bit from last Sunday's fall after all. Took it easier in the afternoon and only chose to carve on a gentler slope with good powder.

Do loop to Ruedi's hut again, felt like being fast and goes easy, but in reality, I'm a minute slower than a week ago :-(. up 34.03 and down 19.09. Beautiful warm day and very sunny.

Teaching yoga class with good flow and some power moves. Feels so good on my tight muscles. It seems that I do have some slight pulls from the fall on Sunday: my neck muscles are tight and sore, and on both lower legs the area around the fibula hurts. The stretching relieves some of those pains :-)

My first run since Saturday! Still felt a little lethargic. Run from hotel along the Aare, over wooden bridge, hospital and home: empty my mail box and run on over fields to shooting range and to Lombach. Same way home as on regular loop.

Have good and strong NW group today! Walk over small Rugen, down Wagnerengully and up to Heimwehfluh, on little trail on up on Abendberg, then straight line back. Feel my legs from snowshoeing yesterday (lifting my legs in the deep new snow for an hour), and my body from the conditioning class last night.

Take a group on a snowshoe tour up on Bussalp. Beautiful day after it snowed yesterday, avalanche danger is substantial, so stay low, but make a loop in the deep snow on Bussalp, then take the groomed (and safe) trail over to Bort, Grindelwald, all up around 1600m-2000m. Great scenery and nice and warm!

Teach Wednesday evening conditioning class; do all the exercises as well and get a good flow of strength moves; a lot of core conditioning and some for the sides of the body and legs.

No motivation on this grey day to go run at lunch :-(.
Taught my senior classes.
Evening Nordic Walking class and because of the dismal and cold weather only 3 men show up!!! We had a very good and fast walk along Aare to Lake of Brienz and back.

Teach 2 core classes and try new exercised I've seen in Shape magazine. It's amazing how they really can come up with new moves. Fun classes.
No motivation to go running, even though it was the first time this year, I could quit work around 6 pm and just go home.
