Running in a weather break with some wind and slight rain; more was in the forecast. First, didn't know where to go, so I ventured up to Planeyse and decided I wanted nothing hard and actually prefer paved roads so I did my figure-8 loop and then some, as I was faster than expected. The first 2 km I was dragging and had no speed nor strength, but that got better and better. Came back quite happy. Wet though from the rain.

Went out on my loop in the woods just before another storm was going to get worse. A lot of new trees are down, at one place 3 at a time. Had to do some detours and one time some climbing through the branches but fell and had trouble getting back up ;-/).
Not particularly fast but glad I could go out after the two storm "Evi", then "Friedericke" with very strong gale-force winds and rain and no running as too dangerous or too wet. Unfortunately, the storms mostly come from the west with warm temperatures, so the Jura which is only between 1000 - 1300 m high, lots of times rain is falling into snow.

Run home from SaMarc's house in the dark after dropping of MattiLena. It's the second day of a storm with high winds, snow, rain, whatever, and a third will follow tomorrow. The streets up in Cormondrèche were covered with verglas and didn't know which way I wanted to go first, downhill was very treacherous. So I opted for up and then found a good little road down, then through the vineyards and further down to the lake. Was not particularly fast but felt good to be out and about. Had sand in my shoes from running along "our" sand beach ;-).

Good yoga class, repeated and held every pose for 10 breaths. Thought I had to abandon some of the poses, but with time (and breaths) it became easier.
However, a day later, I really had sore muscles in my triceps from planks, then changing from dogs (up/down) to plancks and back. Long hour but very good.
