Training Log Archive: Torino

After packing in Bern, run the zigzag trail, try to push it, but slower than I was in March :-(. Maybe, I'm just stressed or summer and my injury/accident has really set me back? Who knows.
But now: vacation!!!!!! :-))
28.47 up and 26.20 back. Saw all 4 lynxes, the 2 cubs were sleeping on a treestump, so cute.

Go up to Ruedi's hut before I have to start working at noon. Feel ok, it is incredible humid, but I am somewhat disappointed with the time. Same speed as in April.

Have to work all day outside the hotel at the bar. It started to rain, and we were bored as nobody wanted a beer but wished for hot cider instead! The parade was completely rained out :-(. We could quit that side bar by 8 pm and I thought I could go home, but wrong! I had to work out front where it was hectic, very noisy, stinking of melted cheese and smoke. And a band played full force besides the bar. I was glad I could quit after an 11-hour workday!! And I know the others had to keep going well into the morning. Uh, I hate 1st of Augusts and working in a hotel.

My last yoga (and fitness) class before vacation :-)! Went well and a fluid workout with lots of good stretching.

Last Nordic Walking class, and I am amazed that some people show up because it is the evening before the National Holiday! Fast group and we go up gnometrail to road up Harder, then over Goldswil. Beautiful evening.

Frantic work day with getting ready for my vacation: finishing translating webpage, organising watering all plants and my "regular" sport programms. Evening went to the play on the lake "West Side Story", but had to stop 20 min before the end because of a nasty thunderstorm and downpour.

Run at lunch the Lombach Loop in hot, humid weather. First, somewhat stiff (I hadn't run since Friday), but then better, and I was pleased with the time. After being so slow and handicapped with my hurting right hip (from the accident) and the pulled hamstring, it took some time to be able to run somewhat freely again. I am glad!
20.36 to 2nd bridge and 18.42 back

Nordic Walking with the Tuesday group. We are not too many, and no slow person, so I can lead most of the way and get some kind of workout. Go up to the ruins of Goldswil, very nice views and back.

Teach two Fitball Core classes with weights for arms and upper body. (gave myself sore ab and arm murscles again ;-).

Evening Senior NW again to Lombach, but not a training for me.
