All about my running!
Keeping motivated to go out for a run when it’s dark and cold outside, your mind is busy thinking about all the presents you need to get, all the last deadlines at work you need to finish and when the smell of Christmas cookies and mulled is everywhere, is bloody hard. But not this year! We will keep on running […]
As soon as I crossed the finish line I send a text message to all the people I love saying: “I survived”. Straight away my mom send me a message back saying: “I always thought that finishing a marathon is an inhuman performance. It is strange that my always chubby and extremely food loving daughter can do it so easily.” […]
If you are not a runner, then beware that after reading this post, you may just catch yourself fancying to start running so you could experience THIS! If you are a runner and you tend to get jealous easily, then I strongly advise you NOT to continue reading this post! They say that all things you do for the “first […]
The plan for my weekend couple of weeks ago was: 6 am train from Prague to Vienna on Saturday, meet my friend Jens, enjoy the day in Vienna, go for dinner, get a good night sleep, then THE RACE, sauna and spa, eat loads of Sachertorte and train back to Prague on Sunday evening. And actually, this is what we […]
We were prepared that it will hurt. We were prepared that our legs will be heavy and will not want to move. BUT It wasn’t that bad! Actually, it was great! Yes, legs were heavy from the beginning, yes we probably smiled a bit less than during the Prague half marathon, but we were definitely not dying or crying or […]
On Friday before “THE” crazy challenge weekend it was raining and the weather forecast said rain all weekend! So the first thing that crossed all of our minds, when I picked up Ela and Jens at the train station, was: “whose bloody idea was this”? Well, my friends… it was “my” idea… who else’s :) Last year I signed up […]
I was in London last weekend. For a long waaaaay overdue visit of one of my favourite people in the whole world – my friend Magda. Friday night we spend drinking vodka (Magda is Polish so of course we need to drink vodka when we are together), Saturday was spend strolling through London, eating cakes, having wine and talking and […]
Ela had a birthday. And a birthday party. And I had wine. And beer. And it turns out that I get drunk after two glasses of wine and one bottle of beer! What happened to me? Where are the times when I drank two litres of wine during an evening and felt great the next day?! Yup, you got it! […]
In December I ran 164 km in 25 days and I not only survived but actually really enjoyed it. And I can’t wait to do it again! 164 km is almost 4 full marathons or 8 half marathons and I did this all in 25 days. For someone who has, so far, ran only 1 half marathon, this is not […]
4 days total: 27.75km… and I really can’t believe 25in25 is over! Day 22 – Monday 22.12. Distance: 5.11km Time: 32:21 Weather: +7C (Windy but when you are in the forest, who cares, eh?!) We are in Prague! Today it was only me and Matthes running and I was really happy as my legs were hurting and I was […]
