from january to april

A lot of things happend since my last post in January (!). Logically. You can always think: if I'm not blogging, my life is going on well. I'm blogging, when the bad concience is getting too big. As it is the case now. Actually I have a lot to tell! Or rather: I had. Sometimes I wrote some sentences down, that I absolutely wanted to include in my next post, but now I can't find those pieces of paper anymore. Except this one, probably from one day in February:

"Marzili - still my favourite place. Realized this yesterday when I granted me a short swim in the 6 degree cold Aare. Simply the best!"

The picture belonging to this cold-water-flash is locked in my dead mobile phone.. anyhow I don't manage to wake it up again.

Ok. There were lots of runners-highs in my numerous trainings which were sometimes excessively long ;-), there was a try to improve my 800m an 1000m best times indoor (failed), a greeeeat one-week running training camp in Lanzarote (sport from dawn to dusk), a freestyle snowboard course, the swiss cross country championships (3rd place), the survival run in Thun, the sprint training camp in Italy, and then the testraces where my foot-injury started. My biggest fear was that it doesn't get better. Because I had to realize that I'm absolutely not made for no running at all! This fear was the worst. But as always I have to emphasize the positive things: Have you ever done an orienteering training in high heels? I have! Thanks to my injury. I began to love these shoes, that allowed me to do a whole orienteering training without feeling any pain in my left foot, and thus without thinking of it. This was fucking important for my mental health! ..Which is for sure related to my physical health. I strongly hoped that the pain disappears soon, so that the latter sentences were not complete bullshit.. And I can happily announce, that I can already run normal again now!! After about two weeks of a huge training workload of inline skating and biking and strength training and slow-motion-jogging and swimming and high-heels-therapy ;-). Can anybody tell me why I'm always favoured by so much fortune??

So now, the Grand Prix of Bern can come! The testraces for the world champs in Italy too. And if you are in switzerland from mai 8 to mai 10, come and listen (and watch) the masterpiece I'm preparing intensively with "Der chor" these days ;-).

 Ah now I found a note that I've made after my running camp in february:

"I'm back from Lanzarote with about 206 km running training in my legs (within exactly 7 days). Great that I sometimes don't feel like running now! The first day at home I even felt more like biking!! It was just awesome there on the impressive canary island and in the club la santa, which was simply a paradise for me (more than 30 sports, a shop with plenty of chocolate and ice creams, cold sea water, ...)

one day I wrote down some impressions. It was the 7th of february, the 3rd day of my training camp:

Every day I discover my new "one and only" sport, wednesday it was step aerobics. I could haldly stop! Thursday it was windsurfing. I got soon addicted to the feeling of the wind in the sail."
