FollowIt’s warmer still today, but with the Jungfrau Mini Marathon coming up on Friday, I need one more training run. We’ll repeat the mountain trail that we followed on Friday. Here I come, running in a sunbeam.
Trail running isn’t like running on the road. There are ups and downs, and twists and turns, not to mention hikers and mountain bikers to avoid. Cattle are grazing in the meadows alongside the path, which means that gates have to be opened and closed. In the end I completed the run a minute faster than I managed on Friday. A minute is a lot, so I’m happy with that. Val did even better, knocking 2 minutes off her Friday time.
The Staubach waterfall at Lauterbrunnen is spectacular at the moment, but to get the best photo the sun needs to be shining through the water as it cascades down the cliff. Val was in the right place at the right time today, and got this lovely shot of the waterfall and the village.
A nice morning’s exercise, but we were glad to get home out of the sun.
