Wednesday May 14
	Running 43:10 [3] 7 km (6:10 / km) +170m 5:30 / km

	Evening run with Manuela; still feel my heavy legs but it was good to get out anyways. My "normal" workday with teaching a yoga class in the am, work with administrative stuff and an afternoon Nordic Walking intro class with seniors which is always so rewarding but also so tiring as they require lots of attention and description of detail.
Tuesday May 13
	Nordic Walking 1:10:00 [2] 6 km (11:40 / km) +80m 10:56 / km

	"Regular" day back at work with teaching classes; did not go on my usual Tuesday lunch run as I simply felt lazy and there was much to do as Monday was off. Nordic Walking with my Tuesday group of 13 people!! That many people makes me work pretty hard to switch between the faster group and the slower group. Go towards ruins Unspunnen, Wilderswil, to Sachseten creek and back trough the kleiner Rugen. Beautiful evening out.
Monday May 12
	Orienteering 53:37 [5] 4.1 km (13:05 / km) +195m 10:34 / km

	O-race near Murten; very green and deep ravines, wet and muddy. On our course we had 22 controls!!! It was kind of fun first to get the controls on every corner or so, then we dropped into the slope and that's where I must have been strong and beat everybody else! It was kind of fun, pretty hard in spots and special course-setting. Won my age group (AND finally also Simone's mom who often runs down from her age group!) by big margin. One route choice problem as I was stuck in blackberry shrubs, but that was bad luck and not quite visible on the map, and another mistake when I went a tad too far and had to fight through green stuff back to the flag.
	Mountain Biking 1:11:00 [3] 25 km (2:50 / km)

	Rode around the Lake of Murten after the O-race and ate some ice cream and the local sweet pie in a restaurant. Very pleasant :-))
Saturday May 10
	Running race 1:37:25 [5] 16.1 km (6:03 / km) +230m 5:39 / km vdot: 33.2

	Race in the Grand Prix of Bern; the most beautiful 10miles in the world!! What do THEY know!!! It is beautiful running through the old historic town of Bern on cobblestones, but "they" have never run the Garden of the Gods 10miler!! Now that's beauty! Anyway, I did ok, not great, but considering that I haven't run over 10 km over the last 2 months, it went fine. My times were ok until 11 km, then I felt the lack of training. I tried to relax and cruise on (uphill), and once I crossed the plaza in front of the Swiss Federal Building (!), I had recovered and finished fine, despite the long mile uphill after the Bear Pit!! It was good to determine where I stand in my training and the result was realistic (one always hopes for more or better times). I just can't put more time into training with my full-time job and the needed rest on the weekends. 1 km 4.55 2 km 5.41 10.36 uphill 3 km 5.08 15.45 4 km 5.37 21.22 5 km 5.42 27.05 6 km 5.58 33.04 7 km 6.22 39.26 uphill Dählhölzli 8 km 6.59 46.25 uphill Dählhölzli 9 km 5.33 52.19 10 km 5.56 58.16 Monbijoubrücke; 31.11 5 km 11 km 6.01 1.04.17 12 km 6.17 1.10.32 uphill to town 13 km 6.39 1.17.13 uphill to Federal Building 14 km 5.56 1.23.14 15 km 7.18 1.30.29 long uphill from Bear Pit; 32.13 / 5 km 16.1 km 6.53 1.37.25 still some uphill

	C • Well done!! Yep the Gard... 1
