Where: Steffisburg and Spiegel
Weather: cold!!!
Training details: Nice, hilly runs today. Spiegel, where Livia lives, only has hills around so she is always apologizing to me! Lol. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger! And the hills aren't terrible…it's just that the first time I went to Livia's to run, I was shocked to see up-hills that were longer than like 300 meters because my idea of a "hill" back then was a little bit different than the idea I have now. I am in the mountains of Switzerland so I guess I just got used to it!

Spring? What's that?
Switzerland totally skipped over spring. It snowed last week down to 1,000 meters! SNOW. At the end of May…ridiculous! Supposedly it is supposed to get hot next week…luckily when they say hot, it never gets over like 90 degrees over here! Please, North Carolina humidity and heat…THAT is hot!!! So I am looking forward to a REAL change next week! AKA, I can put away my sweaters for real this time!!!

I have a 10k road race on Sunday, which is going to be a pretty big deal (14,000 women are registered to race at this Women's only road race) and it gets tons of media attention every year in Bern. I am pumped!
