Around the village 

It’s cloudy and warm today, so we set off to do a big lap of the village. Stunning views of the valley from the path.

We pass lots of snow in the gullies that come down from Männlichen. Glimpses of the village through the trees. 

The walk took a little over 2 hours and amounted to 8.5km. A nice one to get the season started. 

More running 

We had a good night out in Rocks last night. We’ve only been away for 7 weeks but it’s nice to catch up with everyone. This morning it’s back to running, and I reckon the path to Mary’s should be about right for my workout. It’s also the flatest route I can think of. It went well – nice weather for running.

Week 4 begins with an obstacle 

Off we go for the 4th week of my running programme, and my usual circuit around the lanes is closed!

I choose a new route around the town as Michael guides me through this week’s routine. It’s a warm day and the running is pretty tough, but I got through it alright and my recovery time was good. Just one more run in the UK before we begin Couch to 5K Swiss style. 

Another good run

Well that’s week 3 completed, and it was a really good run on a warm day. Saw some other runners on the way round and did an extra 5 minutes run at the end. My new, extended route is 4 kilometres long, so I’ll need to find an extra bit to add to it before long as the runs begin to get longer.
