A Week in Boston – Part I
Tweet Before I start, I just wanted to mention that I did post Week 15 here, the week before we headed out. It wasn’t a complete week, it wasn’t even a great week, I’m a broken record again, nothing new there. I’m having a real love/hate relationship with blogging and I’m not sure anymore how…
Liverpool Rock’n’Roll – Hello From the Other Side
Tweet I realise it’s been FOREVER since I was in Liverpool last and I failed to share with you my experience at the 2016 Liverpool Rock’n’Roll Weekend. Now that I’m signed up again for the 5K and the Half, I was inspired again to write about it! Last May I had surgery on my foot to…
January Wrap-Up
Tweet How I’ve felt the last couple of weeks: A Quick Recap of the last couple of weeks: Running: Am only running on training days at the moment, so Monday, Friday and Sunday. After I went to the physio (in week 3) I decided that I would be biking instead of running to keep up…
Stages of Grief When Faced with Not Running
Tweet So. I made it 48 days on my run streak. I decided yesterday to stop. Since last week, around Thursday or Friday, my right knee started hurting. Same kind of pain I had years ago with my left knee. Back then I was out of the running for 5 months. 5 MONTHS. I can’t…
Week 2: I suppose it can get better from here
Tweet Gah. Is it only the Week 2 recap? Feels like it’s been ages since the year started. It wasn’t the best week ever. Monday – my mother-in-law has been very ill so instead of going to Berlin, we stayed home instead, still taking the days off of work so that we could easily go…
Week 15 – This is pretty much it #roadtoberlin
Tweet Well, we are seriously in taper week my friends! As of this writing there is officially less than 7 full days before the start of my SIXTH marathon. And the first time running the full distance in Berlin. Week 15 was not the best week for me emotionally. Well, let’s be honest, the last…
Week 14 – excitement, panic #roadtoberlin
Tweet WEEK 14 you guys!!! Maybe it seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal. I’ve done this before. Five times, in fact. It’s not a big deal, right? WRONG. It’s pretty huge. I’ve wanted to run the Berlin Marathon actually from the moment I decided to do a marathon (Paris and Berlin were the…
Week 13 – getting closer #roadtoberlin
Tweet Monday – rest day. It must not have been very exciting because I honestly can’t remember anything that happened on this day! Tuesday – Intervals! 15 min warmup then 3 x 1 KM (5:58 / 5:43 / 5:47) with 1:30 rest in between, then 3 minutes rest and again 3 x 1KM (5:41/ 5:37…
Runner Spotlight # 7 – Claire
Tweet Right, we were doing runner’s spotlights on Fridays but I’m now going to change them to Wednesdays. Or Thursdays. I don’t know yet! On Friday I want to start doing the Friday Five Link Up. This is my attempt to actually be more engaged with other running bloggers and hopefully give you guys something…
Week 12 – #roadtoberlin Update
Tweet The week I was going to change my attitude. And mostly, I’d say that happened. So, SUCCESS! However, sometimes things don’t always go to plan and you really have to look at things in retrospect and accept your situation. My situation is that I’m just not completely healed from my operation. I probably won’t…
