Today is an unusual day. Originally I had planed to walk over one thousand meters up the Jura, before realising that I had too little sleep, so I decided to sleep a little more, do laundry, write a blog post and then eat lunch.<\/p>\n

Lazy<\/h2>\n

After lunch I didn’t feel like going for a walk, still. That’s highly unusual for me. I don’t know whether it’s because I am tired from a mediocre night of sleep or whether it’s because of the heat that hasn’t left yet. It’s the 9th of September and it’s still 29 to 30\u00b0c. I feel slightly under the weather so I’m skipping the walk.<\/p>\n

Air Pollution<\/h2>\n
\"Signicative<\/a>
Signicative air pollution according to the Geneva Air Quality App<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Part of my reason for skipping the daily walk is that I noticed that the air has been polluted for several days in a row. According to the air2G2 app<\/a> the air is highly polluted at the moment. It’s especially Ozone. This is due to the heat, the lack of wind, and people’s overreliance on polluting cars.<\/p>\n

Heat<\/h2>\n

To have 30\u00b0c at this time of year is rare. If it was cooler I wouldn’t hesitate so much to go for a walk, but there is the nuisance of dog walkers that is back. Every time I go for a walk I need to adjust my route to avoid the dog walkers. Dog walkers like to walk with their dogs off leash, and dogs like to approach and theaten. Overnight I counted that I have had at least 4-6 dog attacks in the last few years, so if my fear of dogs is getting worse, it’s because I am being harrassed by dogs more regularly.<\/p>\n

Riding with Electric Bikes<\/h2>\n

Another reason for saving my energy today could be for an entirely different reason. Tomorrow I will probably be riding with electric bikes, and although I can comfortably keep up, I do burn a lot of energy. If I save my energy today I should have some, spare, for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

And Finally<\/h2>\n

If I was walking by myself, and then cycling by myself, and then walking by myself, and living according to my own rythmn then I’d be fine, but since I can knacker myself, and then be pushed beyond my limits the next day, it makes sense to take rest days. The Swiss Weather forecast<\/a> wrote a blog post about the current anticyclone and air pollution. I seem to be thinking like the weather people at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
