It's been a hot week and weekend, and not showing signs of cooling soon. All we can do is head for water. We're taking the weekend off from hiking, not for the heat, but because (oh no) I injured my big toe. Nothing serious, but when it swelled up and turned black and blue and I couldn't move it or put any weight on it, I thought for sure I'd be out for the marathon, just 3 weeks away. Not only am I clumsy, but also very lucky. After two LONG days icing, elevating, fretting, I was able to start walking, and went out for a gentle 6.5 mile run this morning. What a relief.
So, to the plage to cool off and enjoy a fabulous afternoon in Nyon with friends, splashing in the pools and lake. August is passing so quickly, but we're hanging onto these fading summer days.
