We're Steaming!!!!!! (and not in the way we want to be)

Our training seems to be progressing well at the moment, although the weather in Geneva never seems to be on our side. It has been either far too hot or raining cats and dogs! Simon and I went for a run today by the lake and I think we would have been drier if we had jumped in!!!

We drove to the base of the Saleve mountains last week for one of our early morning runs (5.30am - aaaaaaarrrrrgh). A change of scenery does slightly ease the intense boredom I experience when running. The run was in better conditions then usual because it was a lovely day and the heat hadn't kicked in yet. When we finished the run, we were steaming! Really - there was steam!!! I was also delighted when another early morning runner shouted "Courage" at us.

I have recently purchased a super duper Polar watch which, amongst other things, tells you how far you have run, your heartrate, works out training plans, makes the dinner...etc. Unfortunately, the watch is still in the box at the moment because I have to figure out how to make it do all the super duper things it is supposed to do - all the gear and no idea springs to mind.

I'm attempting my first 10 km this weekend and will let you know how it goes.
