100% trails and roads 25:00 [1] 4.5 km (5:33 / km)
slept:4.0 (sick) shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride

Really easy jog, as I was feeling quite well... it did feel good. Of course I am still not 100%, but on the climbing part of the healing curve.
Unfortunately I was unable to sleep during the night. I am not sure if it was my runny nose which kept me awaken or if the nose drops with antiswelling property have strong side effects on me and boosted my energy the whole night through. The good part of this long night is that as I couldn't sleep I studied quite a bit.

Strength workout, body we 16:00 [2]

Half of my usual strength programm... it was about time I was doing those exercices again! Last time was 16 days ago!!!

100% trails and roads 50:00 [2] 12.0 km (4:10 / km)
slept:8.2 (sick) shoes: Asics DS Trainer

Darn, got up to do a morning jog and felt worse than I usually do in the mornings... but I thought it would get better while I run, like it always does... well today I felt weaker and weaker. So I believe my sore throat I felt when getting up was not only morning pain, but a real inflammation. Well, I better get healthy quickly... grrr, I hate being sick!
But Sandra is right, I am not sick, I am only a little groggy... so hopefully tomorrow I will be 100% again :-)

shoes: VJ Panther with dobbs

Did a course without controls (oppla, this terrain is harder than it looks on the map), climbed on top of the map (Schwyberg) and picked up controls from the juniors.

100% trails and roads 48:00 [2] 10.0 km (4:48 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride

Warm up and cool down for the intervals on the track.
Started in the dark, and while I was doing my loops on the track the sky started to glow red and finally the sun came out. How nice! I did feel a little crazy to do intervals in such an atmosphere, though!

100% trails and roads race 15:00 [5] 4.0 km (3:45 / km)
shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride

Intervals on the track before breakfast. 10x400m.
(1'12'', 1'10'', 1'08'', 1'06'', 1'07'' with 50'' rest), 2'30'' rest between the two series (1'09'', 1'08'', 1'09'', 1'07'', 1'05'' with 50'' rest).
Interestingly, the 6th interval (after the longer rest) was the toughest. Weird.

100% trails and roads 45:00 [1] 8.0 km (5:38 / km) +500m 4:17 / km
shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride

Babysitted my little nephew today... and went for a 2.5 hour "hike" with him in the backpack on the mountains arounds Konolfingen. Often I would have to run because over my shoulder he wouldn't stop saying "heja Marc, heja, plus vite", especially on the steep up hills. It was a really tough workout... and a lot of fun!

100% trails and roads 1:16:00 [3] 11.0 km (6:55 / km) +1400m 4:13 / km
slept:3.5 shoes: New Balance 766

And only one more to go!!! I had my second last exam today: pathology. And it went pretty well. Again I didn't get to sleep too much, but still felt really well running.
After the exam Sandra picked me up and we drove to Interlaken, where I climbed to the Schynige Platte... an amazing few and even better weather... what a day!

100% trails and roads 49:00 [2] 12.0 km (4:05 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride

Struggled the whole morning to be focused behind my papers. So I went for a jog to relax a little and get my thoughts focused... I hope it is going to help for the afternoons studying... because tomorrow is my second last exam.
