| A good-bye run around the Silvaplana lake to the Sils-er peninsula. You could call this peninsula the "Point Lobos" of the Engadin. Really beautiful.
On my way home I did some intervals. 3 x (10 x 15" fast / 15" easy). This is really tough, these intervals are lactic acid makers. After finishing the intervals, I still have about 3.5km until I was home. I felt beat, my heart rate stayed pretty high and my legs were cramping a bit. Certainly a tough workout. I ended up loosing 2kg of water during this run (!), no wonder my heart rate was high at the end.
This was a great way to finish our mini-vacation here in Silvaplana. I am going home good and dead! |

| Biking to the O map and back. Beautiful, warm (!) day. Feels like the first real day of summer. Summer here has been cold, and rainy. Nice to feel some heat:-) |

| An O training near St. Moritz in god da staz. Those of you (2003 WOC team) who ran at the national A-meet just before WOC might remember the woods. Anyway, it was a pretty lame outing for me. I was insecure in the tall grass because of my ankles, but that was more because I was tired from yesterday and from the altitude, than actual problems with my ankle. My ankle is fine. I guess when I am tired, I have a harder time pushing through rough running terrain. I was being WAY too careful, but I didn't have enough energy to jump through the terrain, like you would need to.
These woods will be great training for Trondheim, deep tough running, steep and some swamps, probably not enough swamps or tricky detail, but close. |

| "Morning run" starting at 9am. What a life :-) slept in, and then lazily got up for a morning run up to Lej da Tscheppa. This was a real mountain run, I haven't been up this high in the mountains in a long time (2616 meter). I have also never done such a big outing before breakfast and I totally bonked. I thought I was really slow on the way up, but I only lost 20 minutes to Marc, I lost much more on the way down. He's such an animal! Came home, ate some yummy bread again and fell into bed for an hour. What a day so far! |

| Morning jog to go to the bakery. Ran to the other side of the lake, then up a small path to the waterfall and a loop down to Surlej to the bakery. Then I ran home with a loaf of bread, three mütschli, and two croissants. yummy :-) |

| A very lovely afternoon run on the god surlej map up to lej dais chöds. The Engadin is such amazing place. Crystal blue/turquoise water in the lakes, long green grass in the woods, with small lush swamps, and big boulders. It's fairytale like.
On another note, I have over 250 hours of training in mid July. 500 hours for the year, maybe a goal?!?! We'll see. |

| 2 sets of 10 x 45" hard with 45" jogging. This felt like a good way to get back into doing intervals. I felt good the whole time, but I think it helps get those fast muscle fibers in gear. |

| Marc and I are in the Engadin for a 4 day mini vacation. When we arrived at 21.30 we decided a little jog, after 5 hours on the train would be nice. Felt funning to go go running so late though.
I am SOOOOOOOO happy to be here, I haven't been in Silvaplana in a really long time. It so beautiful, you could run for hours and hours up here. |
