O meet in Burgdorf. We had a long way to the start (2 km) and even a little more back. Our course was 4.7 km and 170 m, and it took me 1.06.40. Made lots of little mistakes, and few bigger ones on #2,3 and second last one #16. I just did not have the mental push to compete but just to run through the woods in the rain, get stuck in some mud and look for controls. I need to change that mental attitude, then I should be able to be at least 10 minutes faster without even having to run faster.

Went to Büren a.Aare to visit a friend, run and have lunch. Went running together up into her woods, had trouble keeping up with her, but we were chatting the time away anyway. Fun!

NW to Wachtfeuer; absolutely beautiful day, warm over 20oC, sunny with lots of flowers and fruittrees in full bloom.

Barely slept at all last night, so could not get the strength up to go running. Opted to have my mt bike fixed instead.
Was teaching a fitness yoga class in Bern as a substitute. All youngish people so it was a lot more intense than I usually do in Interlaken. But fun!

As it was Elfie's bd, she got to choose where she wanted to go: pretty flat to Lombach and through the fields of Unterseen back. Beautiful evening. Very green fields with tons of yellow dandylions, lots of cowbell ringing and both cherry and apple trees in full bloom. And all this idyllic setting in front of the glaciated peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. It was just a superb picture perfect landscape.

After teaching the core strength class I felt so exhausted that I only "crawled" when doing the Nordic Walking with the seniors ;-(. well not really, but it was pretty hard to stay motivated.
went on the Harder and did the loop. Saw 3 of last year's little marmots out in the animal park.
