Hiking instead of running

stats of the week: run 13 km, hiked 48 km, gym 1.5h

While still on La Palma, our main focus remained hiking, and any additional running would simply have been too much for our legs. We thoroughly enjoyed the island’s walks, although we had to refrain from tackling the more demanding routes as C was still taking antibiotics to treat her infection.

We can certainly imagine returning to La Palma one day, hopefully to complete the trails we had to forgo on this occasion. Unfortunately, we also missed the opportunity to admire the island’s famously clear night skies, as the final days of our stay were rather cloudy.

3 weeks now to Prague and urgent time to increase the distance to more than 10 km.
