So I'm back home in Geneva Switzerland for (part of) the summer! My goal is to get back in shape and go running as much as I used to when I lived here. One of my big motivations is that I signed up to help with Freshman Move-In in August, and I want to be able to carry their boxes all day without dying.
I got to Geneva on Monday, and since then I've gone running three times. That's more than I went last semester at W&M (the humidity and my business/laziness stopped me...).Here's a recap:
Tuesday 5/24:
15 minutes (it was my first time running in a long time...AND a lot of it was up a really steep hill..)
Freshman Move-in Preparation Workout*
I ran to my old high school and back (got stuck behind a bunch of the boarders-the school is half boarding school-on their way to dinner). Then I went and watched the sunset down by the lake (my house is right by Lake Geneva)
Thursday 5/26:
1 Hour
Move-in Workout
I ran with my highschool friend Tanmay, who's back from UW Madison. We actually walked and talked more than we ran. Since I took Philosophy of Religion last semester I've been really interested in hearing about people's beliefs. Tanmay's beliefs are mostly Hindu, and I'm Christian, so it was really interesting talking to him. And it definitely distracted me from how tired I was from running! We ran to the Centre Sportif de Versoix and ran a mile around the track and then came back.
Friday 5/27:
I didn't go running, but we went to a family's house for dinner and I looked after their adorable little kids and jumped on their trampoline with the kids for like an hour...and it was tiring so I figured I'd count it as exercise.
Saturday 5/28:
45 Minutes
Move-in Workout
Ran to the sports center again and ran a mile around the track and then back home. At the track I wasn't running very fast, but I felt like I was because I was the fastest person on the track- there was just a man jobbing and a middle aged woman speed-walking.
haha I love your motivation!
