Run 37:00 [3] 6.6 km (5:36 / km)
A milestone - first proper run (well, in as much as something as short as this can be considered a proper run, but at least it was continuous). Had a rather interrupted sleep thanks to the curse of the distant timezone - the middle-of-the-night phone call (one at 1am and one at 4.30am, both from telemarketers, which is bizarre as I wouldn't average one telemarketing call a month on my mobile at home). That didn't seem to get in the way of the run, which went roughly as I expected it to - feeling slight twinges at times but nothing to get in the way too much, and better in the last 10 minutes.
A bit longer than I planned as I went out to the riverside run at Bout-du-Monde, but I'm not totally upset about that. Also spotted something I'll probably see a bit more of next weekend, a plaque commemorating the 1974 Portuguese revolution. (Geneva has a substantial population of Portuguese origin, most of whom have been here since the 1960s/1970s or are descendants of those, and I imagine a fair proportion of the original migrants were fleeing the Salazar dictatorship).
Heading to Oslo for the weekend. I've learned my lesson from last time and am only taking hand luggage (there's a 30-minute connection in Copenhagen), but the incoming flight is showing on time and there are no weather issues of consequence in any of Geneva, Copenhagen or Oslo so I'm reasonably confident that I'll make it (late) tonight as scheduled.
