It’s been almost a month since I ran last time and, to be absolutely honest with you, I don’t even remember how it feels like anymore! But I miss it. Last week when I was in Cambridge vising my fellow pregnant runner friend (who is also not running nowadays) we went for a stroll by the river. We […]
Have you noticed that I put on some weight? Have you noticed that I have been running a bit less? Have you noticed that I have been jumping way less than usual? You were correct. I have. All three. And on purpose. Why? Because apparently it is normal to put on weight and slow down a notch when […]
And it also means lots of time spend with friends, all the food and drink (mulled wine, yum yum!) and being literally glued to my Facebook and Instagram for 25 days and being constantly in awe at all the people who are equally crazy as I am and who “signed up” for our Advent Running challenge! What am I […]
Never give up. Always push through all the misery and pain. Don’t give in. Fight. Endure. The pain is only in your head. When your mind is strong, you can move (and run) mountains. Sounds familiar? I think the above pretty much sums up my life. If there is a challenge, I’m all in. And by all I mean ALL, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Week total: 48.24km… and I keep surprising myself! When you think you can’t, you go faster! Ha! Day 15 – Monday 15.12. Distance: 5km Time: 26:08 + 5:32 (I stopped my watch at 5km) Weather: +6C (Really dark and raining like crazy!) My legs hurt, it was raining outside and I really didn’t feel like going for a run… […]
Week total: 41.79km… my legs are feeling a bit tired, heavy and stiff but running every day feels amazing! Day 8 – Monday 8.12. Distance: 6.52km Time: 39:29 Weather: +4C (Beautiful day!) It seems that drinking and eating too much the day before you go for a run is the perfect combination for an amazing run. The sun was […]
Week total: 46km… and I’m feeeeeeeling good! Day 1 – Monday 1.12. Distance: 5.65km Time: 35:37 Weather: -3C and really windy (Brrr!) First run today! I have never run in -3C before so another first for me. We met with Ela and headed to Tempelhofer Freiheit (an old airport) which is across the road from where Matthes and I live. […]
