| snowshoe running 1:14:12 [4] | |
| ahr:159 max:181 shoes: Asics 1090 |
| Running cross country through the woods, pretty darn tough when the snow is really deep, my running did slow to a hike at times, but my heart rate didnt come down! Followed several animal tracks, and suddenly noticed that a few were going in the same direction, so I followed them over a hill, and I came to an animal feed basket! It was incredible to see all the animal tracks for all direction that came to this spot. I was probably the only other human that had been there besides the one who puts the food out for the wild animals. Pretty cool! |

| ahr:161 max:177 shoes: Mizuno |
| Running on the foot paths they make in the snow, so that the walker dont walk on the ski tracks, which is actually good running, you almost dont realize your running on snow.

| I have vacation, which means I traveled to the eastern alps of Switzerland, near St. Moritz where Marc's family has an appartment. Marc and I ran around with shoeshoes in the woods near by. There is A LOT of snow, it was fun, but also tough! |

| indoor bike (hometrainer) 22:35 [2] | |
| ahr:136 max:148 shoes: Nike Free |
| One episode of "Friends" without commercials lasts exactly 22 min and 35 seconds.
Used my new shoes (xmass present from Marc!!) called Nike Free. These shoes are supposed to simulate being bare foot. They feel great, I have been wearing them indoors all weekend. I plan to use them for indoor activity such as biking, and strength workout, plus "laufschlule and fuss gymnastics" don't know how to discribe that in english:-/ |

Saturday Dec 25 |
| snowshoe running 2:03:34 [4] | |
| ahr:148 max:185 shoes: Asics 1090 |
| At my mom's for Christmas and went to the Justistal for some cross country skiing, but I didnt have any skis with me, so I snow shoed instead. It was tough running with them, especially on my hip flexor muscle. I took them off for the way down (there was that much snow) and my feet felt so light and small:-)

Tuesday Dec 21 |
| running (mixed off/on trail) 41:35 [4] | |
| ahr:167 max:195 shoes: Asics 1090 |
| There is a bit of snow up here, and it has made running on the trails significantly difficult. We are expected to get more snow this week, which means either I have to bring xc skis to work, or do some indoor training. |

| running (mixed off/on trail) 42:45 [3] | |
| shoes: Adi Star |
| Running at my new home in Schüpfen! Nice forest, too bad it was dark! |
Sunday Dec 19 |
| Note | |
| |
| Marc and I moved to an village outside of Bern, called Schüpfen! A nice, typical Swiss village with cows, a bakery and woods all around!
I had NO time whatsoever to train this weekend, but at least I carried boxes, and furniture up and down stairs all weekend. I certainly have sore muscles!!
Hopefully my training will get more on track soon, but my life is a little unorganised right now, so that has to come first!

| ahr:136 max:171 shoes: bare foot |
| Aquajogging at lunch with Luzia. We both devoured a calzone afterwards and hurried back to work. My last workday here is the 29th of December and it makes me sad. I will start working in a hospital in January and I know the environment will be very different, and there will certainly be no time for training over lunch! |

| Orienteering 52:19 [3] | |
| ahr:146 max:176 shoes: Adi Star |
| In the woods again, I just can't wait to be in the woods again, lalalala lalala :-)
Marc followed me around and we did some technical training. I should always orienteer as if Marc was behind me. I could really concentrate well. Orienteering training alone is sometimes hard, I find I can't "get into it." |
