49/356: Same Same But Different

I had the ultimate Bern experience today. I ran along the river Aare for about 7.5k but then instead of running back down, I put my stuff in a water proof bag and let the river carry me back down to where I started. It was epic!

Drifting along in the Aare is something that is very popular among the locals and I can really recommend it to anybody. I have never swam so far in the Aare or any other river for that matter. I am positively destroyed right now but also feel great. I did have my phone with me and so could have taken pictures before getting in the water, but shame on me, I forgot to do so. I guess I was too excited.

I can tell two things, you haven't seen Bern until you swam in the Aare and this is not the last time that I did this variation of my runs. Actually can't wait to do it again!

34/356: The Long Run

I had a great plan for today but when the weather doesn't play along, well, plans have to be changed. So instead I chose a new route for my runs.

Bike route 1,940,943 - powered by Www.runmap.net

The route I ran was a little longer but this is pretty close. I also raised my usual 5k to 9k. Pretty proud of that actually. I do have to admit that I didn't go very fast anymore towards the end. I think I had about 6min to the km. Next goal, lower that time per km.

Now please excuse me, I have to go crash on my bed.
