wednesday-ness


downtown bern, switzerland

hey yall. just a quick stop by the ol' blog. i'm having a great time with the girlies. my daughter has purple-blue hair. she says is "blurple." she has the most amazing color of strawberry blond hair that ladies pay the big bucks for. gotta love it. at least it's gonna wash out. kids today. sigh.

yesterday the girls and i went out for our runs. the girls did their thing. i did mine. i dropped my mp3 player in the dirt a few minutes into my routine and it turned off. ack. i didn't want to muck about figuring out where i left off on the couch to 5k workout, so i just winged it. i put on some rockin' tunes and went for it. i figured i'd run one song, then keep going 'til i needed a little break, then run some more. the trail i was on was mostly uphill for about 1.5 miles. most of it was runnable. one patch where they've been logging was too mucky, stumpy and treacherous so i had to pick my way through those areas carefully. no way was i gonna attempt to slog through that mess with a healing foot!

i made it all the way up the schupberg into schupfen (the next village over, on the other side of the forrest.) i was able to make the trip up easily enough, having to stop once in a while to give my screaming hams a break now and then. at the end of the trail, on the edge of schupfen, nina and i turned around, and enjoyed the long winding path back down the trail. the schupberg is just a "little" mountain. i did about 3 miles in 50 minutes, including the down time in the deep mud.

we're having amazing weather this week. i thought about running today, but took it easy instead. the girlies and i met Mr. Kicky in berne for lunch at a cute spot called "café des pyrénées" and had sangría and "tapas" for lunch. after much joviality, the hubby returned to work and the girls went on to investigate einstein's home and the einstein exhibit at the museum of natural history.

sigh. life was good today.
