Been a few days since I've blogged. I did a couple of long runs last week but was struggling with a headcold that, yet again, developed into a chesty cough. It's one thing after another and it has really been getting in the way of my training. I have just flown Sydney - Bangkok - Heathrow - Geneva and have been here for about 6 hours. I forced myself to stay awake on the first flight, then on the second flight I ate the meal (to avoid food lag) and slept for 6-7 hours. On the first flight I managed to stand up a bit, but by the end of the second flight my legs were pretty stiff! I walked around Heathrow terminal 5 for a few hours just to get the blood flowing. After I checked into my hotel here I changed into the running gear, started with a power walk for 1 hour, then a slow run for 1 hour, then another walk (but not a power walk) for another hour. I just wanted to take it easy to avoid DVT or some flying-related issue. The chesty cough was pretty bad before the run but seemed to clear up during the run. It didn't really feel like hard work though. Such a beautiful sunny day in Geneva, lots of people at the Bains des Paquis (basically a massive public swimming / sunbaking area off a pontoon on Lake Geneva) and also lots of people at Geneva baby plage. I think I will have to get in there at some point this week but I only have a training cozzie. Most women here wear bikinis and have orange tans. The men - well they just wear their knickers.
