Run 46:00 [3] 8.1 km (5:41 / km)
Took on the hilly route I'd passed up last Monday. Certainly hard work on the long climb through the first 2km (and my expectations weren't high after sleeping poorly on a warm night), but a fairly reasonable run in the end - no sign of injury issues on the main climb, which is worth it for getting into a semi-rural pocket only 3-4km from central Geneva. Always seems a very rapid descent at the end of this one and didn't get the sense my quads would have enjoyed much more of it.
The WHO building is even uglier than the ILO one (which I have mentioned previously in these pages), but at least its location makes it hard to see.
After having been under construction almost ever since I've started coming to Geneva, the redevelopment of the precinct which WMO is in looks to be complete. Most of those in this area are devoted in some form to reducing the number of premature deaths, whether it's through reducing armed conflict, tackling disease or - as in our case - reducing the impact of natural disasters. A jarring exception to this is the global headquarters of Japan Tobacco (which has no sign of any kind except for a very discreet 'JTI' in the lobby); I'm assuming their presence here is in the name of a cause close to the heart of any big multinational - not paying tax.
The Guardian used to have a reputation for typos (hence its nickname of the Grauniad in certain British circles). This was rekindled today when they reported that Derryn Hinch wanted to stop love exports.
