30 December 2023 - Adetswil - 7 km
Watch decided to only record the path of half my run today. Ugh.
29 December 2023 - Adetswil - 5 km
Inexplicably Strava did not kill my watch today, but it was only a five kilometer run. Planning for next year now that I've broken in my new dumbells a bit I created this dumbell workout plan. which I will try starting next week. Add this to my goal of averaging 25km of running a week & daily yoga 5+ minutes. One of my aims next year is also to have at least one rest day per week and build rest weeks into my schedule.
26 December 2023 - Schwyz - 7 km
Unplanned walk and then jog down from Haggenegg to Schwyz. Just a beautiful day for it though!
24 December 2023 - Greifensee - ~20 km
Watch decided to restart again near the start of my run around the Greifensee. The Weihnachtsjogging was a little bit longer this year than last year because the Greifensee is flooded and the path right next to the lake underwater in places.
20 December 2023 - Adetswil - 3? km
Watch decided to restart again near the start of my run. I'm regretting this purchase because the whole point of it was to record activities.
18 December 2023 - Adetswil - 6 km
Watch decided to restart again near the end of my run.
I woke up this morning to intense pain in my right achilles heal, which I have decided is correlated to the old sneakers I pulled back out. It's been raining so much lately I wanted a pair to alternate with so I'd always get to put on dry shoes. It seems wasteful to throw away old sneakers that might be useful, but I have to get past that and realize that they're not worth the injury.
16 December 2023 - Stoffel - ~14km hike
The watch decided to restart from the cold, so I lost the Strava recording of our hike. It was very pretty though.
13 December 2023 - St. Gallenkappel to Jona - 13km hike
I forgot the watch I specifically bought to record such long hikes...
12 December 2023 - Adetswil - 3km
11 December 2023 - Adetswil - 5km
10 December 2023 - Steg - 5km hike
I made a stupid mistake.4 December 2023 - Wetzikon - 3km
Trying out the new spikes Iwona got me . . .
一時 Adetswil This has been a difficult week for training since somehow I hurt my achilles tendon. I don't know if it was during the short snowy run in the woods or later that evening sitting indian style on the stone floor for several hours building a cupboard. I've tried walking, which maybe helps, but I'm not sure I'll be able to run tonight in Stein am Rhein where I have an 8K planned. It's just laps around the Altstadt though, so I'm going to give it a go. The pain is the worst first thing in the morning.
五時 Etzwilen The train tracks are blocked so I will run the last 4 km to Stein am Rhein.
五時半 Stein am Rhein Made it. Collected bib. Phew!
七時 Stein am Rhein Finished the 41. Staaner Stadtlauf. Got my chocolate gold medal. 19 cantons down; 7 more to go. 52:49 is not a bad time for 8km, considering the achilles tendonitis. It actually felt better while I was running.
28 November 2023 - Adetswil - 3km
26 November 2023 - Bachtel - 3km hike
25 November 2023 - Adetswil - 3km
20 November 2023 - St. Gallan -> Waldstatt - 21km hike
16 November 2023 - Wetzikon - 11km
15 November 2023 - Braunwald - 5km hike
After riding a helicopter up, we hiked back down.
12 November 2023 - Pfäffikon - 4km
9 November 2023 - Wetzikon - 13km
7 November 2023 - Chämptnertobel - 5km
5 November 2023 - Chämptnertobel - 5km
I really like tracking things related to my health this way and I've been missing it without a next goal race after Vesuvio. I've also gotten fat, even before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tracking these numbers again will keep them better top of mind.
Today we walked from Wattwil to St. Gallenkappel for about 15km in the afternoon.
