Running 55:41 [2]

And back in Oxford! Met up with Rich for a run around the canals, calves are still really really sore, but more ok after 15 min of warming up? Hope they feel actually better tomorrow...

Note
(rest day)

Woke up with super-sore calves- it's bizarre, just the top bit right below the knee, must be from the really steep hill stuff yesterday somehow. Was about time to take a day off anyways.

So after my last breakfast up at the castle, went sightseeing in Munich all day. Pretty cool, energetic city today for sure! Currently stuck in the airport, because my plane was hit by lightning when it landed here in Munich.... will be a very late night now, as it's delayed 2h.

Ran a bit below the castle to warm up, then did 6 x 1 min and 6 x 30 sec hill up the really really steep road up to the telecoms tower. Ouchie! A nice dip in the pool at the end again. Am going to miss that!

Running 2:00:00 [2]

Woooooooo!! Amazing hike-run in the Alps! Started somewhere named Eng, in Austria, and took off up into the mountains. Ran first up up up to Falkenhutte, where I filled up my waterbottle and payed for a candy bar (1 euro) with a 50 euro note, right....

Then took a tiny trail down to another clump of huts, where I couldn't find the next trail. So orienteered myself accross a hill side, finally intersecting the trail I meant to be on. Was a bit steep for orienteering. Then up through a gap between two mountains on a very tiny trail- this one definitely wasn't used much at all, I even lost it somewhere near the top, but it didn't matter because it was just alpine meadow. Then down and around the mountain, appreciating amazingly gorgeous views all over the place.

The rest of the project team went on a hike up the other side to a hut, and mostly drank beer, although some went a bit higher too!

Hiking 1:15:00 [1]

Some of it counts as hiking instead!

Running 55:00 [2]

Morning run. Started off down the hill and was quickly caught by another astronomer! What?!?! Danny Dale on our team also runs, so we ran together down the hill and he showed me the trail along the river, which was really nice. He turned around a bit earlier, which was kind of nice, then we didn't have to try to maintain the pretense of talking while battling our individual ways back up the hill to the castle.

Running hills 33:00 intensity: (17:00 @2) + (16:00 @4)

Flew out when we were released from meeting, changed and ran downhill to the main road. Then turned around and did 4 x 4 min hill intervals on the way back up, jumped in the pool for a bit and changed for dinner. Whew, run just sneaked in!
