Recently I have been hiking so regularly, and on such long hikes that I rest during the week. Two weeks ago I hiked a lot and we had Vision Du R\u00e9el so I didn’t run or cycle much. <\/p>\n

This morning I could have gone for a group run with people in Geneva but it felt like a big effort to see just four people. It’s not that I didn’t want to go, but rather that I didn’t want to drive or travel to Geneva twice in one day. If there are no hiking plans then I might join that group next week.<\/p>\n

Last week I was properly tired between tree fever, the documentary film festival, and physical hikes. This week I had time to recharge which is why I ran today. According to Apple this was my fastest 5km run yet. I felt a little faster than usual but I didn’t feel that I was making such a huge effort.<\/p>\n

It’s the fist time that Garmin told me that I was in prime form. In a normal week I usually walk, run, and cycle so my body is always recovering during my walking routes.<\/p>\n

If I had no evening plans then I might have gone to Estraver to walk, but because I have plans tonight, for once, I chose not to go by train. The train would have cost 28 CHF.<\/p>\n

I am far more tempted by the Slow up at the Lac de Morat on the 27th of April, from 10:00 – 17:00. Last year I wanted to go but couldn’t. This year I can, and probably will go. Slow Ups are a pleasant experience. Roads are closed to traffic so you can cycle, rollerblade, scoot or do other self-powered sports. E-bikes are included. There is one issue. I noticed the travel time to get there is two hours by train, just one by car.<\/p>\n

And Finally, it was nice to go for a morning run, for a change. No trains, no buses, no having to get up at a specific time. If I had gone to Geneva for that run I would have seen four people. Next week might be back to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
