It sounds like a sci-fi right now! Me? A marathon? Right now I can’t breathe properly when I walk fast or uphill, none of my clothes fit me and I weigh 20 kilos more than last year. BUT I have a pretty cool little human being next to me who doesn’t like sleeping and loves me unconditionally. Even […]
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 […]
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, […]
Am I REAL runner? I am not too fast, I certainly don’t look like a runner, I don’t take running as seriously as others. Should I really call myself a runner? I bet I am not the only one whose mind this has crossed at some point! The “world out there” is full of motivational videos and quotes telling […]
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 […]
Do you also know the feeling when you are soooo busy that you just simply can’t keep on top of your life? Well, this is how I’ve been feeling for the last couple of months. And that’s also why I haven’t written for a while. I know that you probably thought that I have either: a) got married, divorced and […]
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 […]
