Training Log Archive: Torino

Ran in the "Frauenlauf" a women's race in downtown Bern coming close by our house 2 times! This year, there were 14'000 participants!
Had a good start, then after the first km, I majorly bonked. It went slightly uphill until the 3rd km, then down and back slighlty uphill over the bridge into downtown.
Not my day, quite disappointed though. I thought my training was better but considering that my left knee had swelled after the bike-O races 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to heal it, my training surely was compromised. I just keep forgetting :'(.
96th out of 202 in my age category, at least in the first 50%. But usually I am within the first 3rd or 25 %. Oh well.

Another yoga DVD to stretch my connective tissues and help heal my left knee. The swelling is almost gone, but as soon as I sit on a bike, I feel pressures and creaking inside. And, I usually use the bike at home to go to town, shop etc.

Did the Elfenauloop just before it started to rain. Saw a couple of swans with their 4 young ones. Soso cute.

Teaching my fitness yoga class in the morning: felt very smooth and good!

I had to cancel the Nordic Walking Thursday class as just by that time a thunderstorm with lightning passed through Interlaken.

I am so unmotivated to work here anymore, somehow and sometime I probably will get a kick to quit. But whereto??

Interlaken and our hotel is getting ready for a major celebration: the National Yodeling Competition: 15'000 yodelers and singers are expected with 150' to 200'000 spectators!! This place is buzzing and humming. Luckily I don't have to serve beer this time, I absolutely hate that kind of restauration.

Staying overnight in Interlaken.
Teaching one core conditioning class and then the Nordic Walking class: we went up on the Harder, not far but did a nice loop. Very hot and muggy. Everybody is dragging today.
Finally, in the evening I can go home to Bern again!

Had to work today for Monday as I was off because of our 3-day Pentecost-weekend.
Went running over lunch up to Ruedis hut. Felt pretty bad and slow.

Back to work after an almost sleepless night :-(.
Dragging all day; teaching my 3 core conditioning classes. The one in the evening was the best and we had some fun. Gorgeous day after a rainy weeknd!

Monday off because of our 3-day weekend. We drove to a bd party all the way to the east side of Switzerland (2 1/2 hrs one way), so no time for training today.

Did another yoga tape in the evening and felt really good.
