Mount Rigi Hike

I intended to chill the day at home and do some paperwork. Around 2 pm I decided the weather was too nice to waste and went for a hike. Because I started late I had to go fast. The result: Mount Rigi from Küssnacht to Arth-Goldau, 26.5 km, 1500 m elevation gain and loss, 6.5 hours. Perfect weather. Beautiful views. Nice mountain.

I installed a nice app on my phone that tracks how many sit-ups and push-ups you can do and gives you a training regime. I'm currently at 70 sit-ups and 42 push-ups. The goal is to get back to 2004 bike tour fitness levels where I could cycle 200km through Norway's mountains and end the day jumping on a trampoline. Or at least fight the infamous "Google 7", a rule that states every Noogler gains 7 pounds after starting employment with Google. Imagine yourself being surrounded with free ice-cream, chocolate bars and hot meals while sitting at your desk all day...
