Tapering Swiss Style: wine, fondu, jet lag...




So I managed to mix vacation and running again without the one ruining the other.

Tourist logic: 4-miler + 3-miler = one 6-miler.

Keeping up with even a tapered schedule along with Helvetic consumption of wine and cheese was a challenge, but the running seemed to help me sleep through the night.





The body feels good, just a little headachie with the wine. The running was gorgeous, drop out of the Kummer's house down through the vineyards to the edge of a glacial lake and run between the water and cute as can be villages dating from the 1400's. The Bis was blowing (Europeans name their winds) which meant cold windy weather from the Alps, but not too wet. Concerns of dehydration are replaced by dreams of little runner gloves. One more week to go now, have to keep after the stretching and avoid getting the flu everyone has.
