Training Log Archive: Torino

"Quick" run between rains before I was going to pick up Urs at the Train Station (back from Sydney). The weather is changing now from our mild
temps to fall storms and possibly some snowflakes.

C • Same here.. 4

Was busy all day with Little things in the Apartment and cleaning up. Did the crosstrainer in the evening. It was hard after the first 30 min. But I was watching the beginning of the Hunger Games (don't like all the gory stuff and looked away).

Duo Night-O race: a first for me as this race is something "inofficial", a score-night O in Teams of two. Most were in couples and there were some famous couples doing it. Definitely an Insider fun race.
I was asked to fill in, and it was actually lots of fun and tough with the choice first after the start. My Intention was to look at the map and the controls with the Points, but in the hectic of the start, we did not do that. So, for us slower Senior womean it was either go to the right-side Woods or the Little further left-sided Woods with a common section in-between. So we were quite happy with it having no idea how we fared. But we came in second as the other Loop had more Points.
Ah, and of course, most of the younger and fitter Senior men took all the controls!
And, did I say it poured cats and Dogs but during the race one Forgets except that it's hard to see sometimes when the own breath mixed with the raindrops and the view is very foggy ;-)

Pretty quick longish run back as it was raining with gusty winds so we got cold quickly. I still had my backpack at the sign-in place (and spaghetti dinner place afterwards) but the showers were a Little ways off. I could not find my way back as all those buildings looked similar. Was searching and occasionally asking as there were ice hockey and Soccer fields and changing rooms everywhere. In the dark and rain, I really had lots of Trouble with directions and was very lost. Tststs.
PS: started my watch too late and adjusted the time and km.

Springtime temperatures today! So weird to run through the golden Woods when the air feels like spring. There are still some leaves on bushes that have remained green. We have not had any cold nights, so the leaves are very slow in turning Color.
Did the Elfenauloop, the legs felt heavy but I was actually Little faster than last time when I felt so light and fast. How the own Impression can be wrong sometime?

Working in Interlaken and as always, hurrying to get all the plants watered and trimmed. Those are always intense hours while I am trying to get through with the plants and the decorations and more. But always fun to be up there again and do some visiting with the other People in the Hotel.

Spent the afternoon with Sandra and Matti. Occupied Matti for quite some time by having him in the backpack while I was doing housework (vacuuming, folding clothes, doing dishes) and he was so absorbed in watching he even forgot he could be hungry ;-)! Nice workout for me as he is getting heavier and I was useful while Sandra had some quiet time getting some other things done. Fun afternoon.

Coming home, I did a workout on the crosstrainer while watching TV.
I had again sore calf muscles the next day. I should get used to that by now!

THE big day of moving Urs's mom into the Senior Residence. Spent 6 hours working quite hard mostly unpacking and putting things already in their right places. At 5 pm all the boxes were unpacked and the Apartment looked quite nice and liveable. A good start for her new life.
I was a Little sore the next day from all the hauling and and physical work.
