Running in the sun with Lucia. Marc and I took the kids up toward Mont Racine to get out of the fog and met up with the Lauenstein family. Marc took care of the kids and Lucia and I went running. I felt horrible... I guess I am just out of shape. Yesterday I felt good running, so I am certain it will just take a few more trainings to get into a rythme. The sun felt amazing and it's aways fun to run up on the "crêt"

Yes, I am finally starting to feel good again. It's nice to see that this cold has it's end and that I am on my back to getting into shape. Amazing, I almost gained 2 kgs since the Otter, it really shows how doing nothing and eating badly will affect your weight... oops!

Sara's yoga class. Didn't feel like I worked very hard today, but I also think that the moments are more natural now, so the whole thing is getting easier.

I found the sun!!! It was only 2min from our house, but I took the car because I didn't know how high I would have to drive to find it. Oh how frustrating to spend days in the fog when there is beautiful sunshine and blue skies so close. This is certainly a disadvantage of living in the lower regions of Switzerland. Need more sun!

C • Glad it was so close! 1

A short run before 3 hours of meetings at the new house. Oh man, building a house takes so much time!! And for some reason I am just not feeling so well today. One of those days where your energy levels are down. Will pick up again.

I decided not to run intervalles in -5°C since I am still getting over this cold. So, I biked at home before our training and then just did the strength exercises with the athletes. The younger ones need to improve their form and it's apparent that they have not done much core strength yet. They should certainly start doing core-strength at home. This is when I see that my older ones had instructions at this age that now are more difficult for me to give since the group is always getting better and there is such a difference in ability. The problem for the young athletes is that I adapt the training always to challenge those who have done it for the last 5 years. I need to re-think a bit how I coach this group. The best would be to make two groups out of them, but I can not split myself in half...

Yuppie! I was able to go to Sara's pilates class even if my nose is still runny and I am still fighting a bit during the day. The end is near... i will be healthy soon:-)
