Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Today was a race day for me. The Zumikerlauf is part of the local 10km race circuit and starts and finishes in the village next to mine. It’s a pretty run, 11.2km long and much of it through the woods that I train in regularly and know well – but funnily enough run in the […]
