This morning I woke at six with the intention of going for a group ride but I felt myself coughing and feeling low energy. When I checked Garmin Connect it said that I had a bad night of sleep and yet still recommended a 28 minute run or a half hour bike ride. I chose to go for a low intensity run and was done by eight in the morning.<\/p>\n

I skipped the bike ride because tomorrow I am organising a hike, rather than just participating in it. This means that I have to be fresh and energetic.It’s not just that I have to be fresh and energetic. It’s also that today is going to be hot, which implies that drivers will not be in the healthiest state of mind.<\/p>\n

Today I called it, I decided not to go for that group ride.<\/p>\n

It amuses me that I am nervous today, and about tomorrow. I have organised events in the past and things went well. I have been to dozens of events this year. This isn’t a step into the unknown.<\/p>\n

I have done activities with the group, and I have been on bike rides in the region where I am planning to hike. I have not hiked there before so this will be an exploratory hike, at least for me. Having said this, following signs is not complicated.<\/p>\n

Possible Storm<\/h2>\n

Originally I came up with this walk proposition a few weeks ago because I saw that it could be a rainy weekend. Tomorrow will be warm but there is a chance of storms. Given that there is a risk of storms I prefer to stay local. This is local, for people in Geneva, and a journey for those who are not.<\/p>\n

When I was cycling at the back of Geneva, more than once, I thought that the region would be nice to walk in. Until today I was opposed to the idea due to the logistics of getting to and from Geneva. This hike is convenient when using trains.<\/p>\n

The Walk in Reverse<\/h2>\n

Usually the walk is planned from CERN to La Plaine but I plan to do it from La Plaine to CERN. If the weather changes I prefer to be heading towards Geneva than the other way around. I think that by doing a walk one way, and then doing it in the opposite direction it allows you to experience a walk twice, for the first time.<\/p>\n

And Finally<\/h2>\n

Tomorrow I am leading a hike. I decided to rest today, so that tomorrow I am full of energy, and patience. If I find that I enjoy leading hikes then I will no longer have to wait for others to organise events. I will have my own. At this point I am a little nervous and that is normal. I expect that within half an hour of the event starting I will be relaxed.<\/p>\n

I am often nervous the first time I participate in an event, so it makes sense that I would be nervous for this first, despite it not being a first. It’s my first time leading this group, not my first time leading an event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
