Holy ickfay. Zermatt is some kinda serous wonderful. Astounding ascent to the mind bendingly beautiful schonbielhutte to the right of the matterhorn. The whole mountain laid out in front of us in its full clear skied glory. A run for the ages.

And then back down to zermatt. Tried to take it slow because I've spontaneously decided, at bologna's urging to run the 30k ultraks on Saturday. 2000 meters of climbing and descending, including part of what we ran today. Run the alps scored me a last minute entrance. The town is filling up with seriously fit people. This race brings in some of the best European runners. Should be a blast.

Trot down to zermatt.

Lovely hike up the gemmi pass with bologna

Gemmi challenge. A 5k run up a cliff. Warning at the bottom: whatever you do, don't look up. It's pretty daunting when you do. Good time. If you get in under 60 minutes you get a free tram rode down and complementary entrance fee ratio the local hot spring bath. Caught bologna near the top. So good to see her on the trail again!
