The weather forecast for this afternoon is a little dodgy so we decided to borrow some MTBs from the fabulous Gstaaderhof Hotel for a little venture out on bikes.

Heading to the Alps tomorrow, so thought we’d get some exercise done first (ignoring the 25km I’ve walked this week getting over the calf miuscle injury).

Walked to work whilst it was pretty close and slightly spitting with rain, then ran home when it was very close and a lot warmer. Still feeling the effects of the summer cold.

Very windy and imminent threat of heavy rain plus I’ve come down with (yet another) summer cold. Great! But quite pleased with the run.

Weight is down ½lb since last time…
