Product Test: Nike Free 5.0

After a very productive day updating translation files for Panoramio ;) I decided to go for a run to give a try to my brand new Nike Free 5.0

I did a short 7Km (in 40min so not much sweating) from the office to the bottom of Uetliberg and return. I decided to buy this shoes following a recommendation of my friend H.Leiteriz and I have to admit they are very comfortable.

My knee was a bit in pain before and that is why I decided to change shoes. With this new shoes the pain decreased significantly... I still need to try them for longer to assess though. What I can assure is that there are some muscles in my leg that were not in use with my old runners and I can totally see that the design of this shoes is more natural. I should maybe have gone for the 3.0 version though, but I wanted to be on the safe side so in case this pair proofs to work as it seems, I will go for the Nike free 3.0

This new model allows the option to add the fancy device that tells you speed, distance and calories. If anyone feels like buying me one as a present... I will not say no :)

Blick am Abend changed my name ;)

From now on I am Gérard Sars. Sars not being the desease :(
This is the piece where Blick am Abend asked me about the WM:

I was fetched infraganty in Bellevue while going to the office, obviously with my Google Picknick sunglasses, by the reporters of Blick am Abend (the less trusty newspaper in Switzerland).

A fast translation of what they wrote I said:

"Despite being from Spain and being happy of the Spanish victory, what I liked the most was Paul the octopus. That was crazy and I like it!"

My first Edelweiss

Last weekend I went hiking with Jessica in Adelboden and I found my first Edelweiss (at 2333m):

They say Edelweiss brings you luck so we wanted to extend our weekend with a bath in the Jungbrunnen, so now I have less wrinkles than before [ considering I was having none ;) ]

On our way back home we stopped in an Alpenhutte as it was raining and I wanted to buy a cheese. The problem I have now with this cheese is that it is killing my social life. I do not have a dog because I can not commit on taking care of it, and now I have to wash and flip a cheese every morning when I wake up ;(

Conclusion: Before buying a cheese, consider going directly for a dog.
