Classic x-c skiing 1:10:43 [3] 9.68 km (7:18 / km) +201m 6:37 / km
Met up with Sandra at Les Bugnenets-Les Savagnières and looked after Matti while Sandra did a skating loop. Beautiful sun up here and as always, enjoyed being with Matti. This time he was supposed to sleep but he refused for the longest time. We walked far up a little road towards the Chasseral. When I sang to him, he hummed back, then made his special noises that crack me up. But I tried not to laugh, so he eventually fell asleep.
After Sandra left, also did a loop, but this time the slush, slow snow had turned to harder, sometimes glazy tracks. It was hard to get uphill sometimes. It felt really good to be out in the sun and warmth despite my cold. Did not push it, just found a happy medium.

Running 1:02:36 [2] 7.84 km (7:59 / km) +246m 6:54 / km
A very slow run as I had little energy. The cold is creeping back. And I had three nights with less sleep than needed for my beauty. So I took it easy, enjoyed being out, spoke twice with people about their dogs and more, basically, just jogged.
Urs came back from his business trip with (another and even more) severe flu and coughing attacks followed by fever. No fun.

Crosstrainer 40:00 [2]
Sneaked in a crosstrainer workout watching some of the Olympic skicross competitions while Matti had the after lunch nap.
Watched Matti for 2 1/2 days and we had lots of fun together. Very intense days with lots of lifting (strength), agility (trying to change him or give him a bath, going up/down our spiral staircase) and endurance (he goes non-stop when he's awake). This little guy is so special and curious about the world and its social habits such as toasting with his cup for every gulp he's taking and squealing with delight.

Snowshoe Touring 2:28:52 [3] 11.0 km (13:32 / km) +452m 11:14 / km
A beautiful sunny day!
We climbed Mt. Chasseral from Les Savagnières. It was an incredible climb, just such beautiful country. We saw a herd of chamois along the way. The restaurant on top of open so we could get out of the cold wind. Actually, at that time, the wind was whipping up the fog from the lower areas (Bernese middle land, including Berne) and obscured the views onto the Alps at times.
On the way down, we first did another loop into a pleasant valley, but then steeply down through woods enjoying the deep snow and partially "skiing" down on our snowshoes. Lots of fun.
