Jungfrau Marathon: help support Marc in his quest as #1 seeded runner. Get him his special drink twice in Lauterbrunnen at different spots, then rushing up to the finish on the Kleine Scheidegg to see him finish as second place runner!! An incredible feat, wow :-).

After the media calmed down a bit around Marc, and he seemed to be able to take care of his own needs (massage and shower) with Sandra managing it all ;-), I told them good-bye and rushed down the hill to the last water station, watched the runners a bit then went further down to Wixi skistation to wait for my boss who was attempting to finish as a result of a bet (he was a heavy smoker and had never run before he started at the beginning of the year)! I saw him and went a half a mile with him but I had no desire to climb back up again.
I went to the next train station at Wengern alp and took the train down and went back to Bern to pack for my vacation in the Tuscany.

Tried a new loop. Went up onto the Gurten, made a loop and came straight down.

It just started to rain after 5:30 pm, so almost nobody showed up but 2 people, grrr. Went with them on a shortish but fastish loop up the Harder. Still kind of fun and the rain stopped intermittently.

Amazing, I went to work with strong backpain around the sacroiliac joint and started with the yoga class gently until all of a sudden I realised that my back ache was almost gone!! I was very amazed! Could teach a normal yoga lession afterwards as my back became more and more nimble, still unstable but much much less painful.

Ran the Elfenauloop again, not as fast as on Saturday. My back has been hurting a lot and running did help a bit.

NW in the evening up to Schibeflueh; the view was not as great as some other times because of clouds turning into fog.

I was also teaching 2 senior classes today.

Senior NW from Matten to Lütschinen over old airfield.

I was also teaching a core conditioning class in the afternoon.
