WRD – Week 33 Noah Called
Tweet Week 8 of 16 Chicago Marathon training is a done deal. I’m halfway and I feel about a quarter ready to take on the distance. I’m not going to dwell too much on the negative that I feel, because I know it does not help me. Pushing onwards. You know how you shouldn’t compare…
WRD: Week 32 – Progress
Tweet Don’t really have much out of the ordinary to report this week. We are progressing along with marathon training. Week 7 is in the books! I tried to do my training as close as I could to what was on the schedule, but there were a few changes here and there. Plan vs. Actual…
Week 33 – Vacation Mode: ON
Tweet I know that most everyone has now had summer holiday, kids are going back to school, everyone is getting back into routine… so now it’s time for me to be on vacation! So far I’m still at home but there are a few things going on in the next 2 weeks! I won’t be…
Week 29 – All Aboard the Struggle Bus!
Tweet Last week was just about too much for me. Too, too much. Sometimes I feel like such a wuss for not being able to physically handle so much, maybe I expect too much from myself? Maybe I have a skewed idea of what normal is? I already knew it was going to…
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 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…
The Dublin By Bike Experience
Tweet During my rock’n’roll weekend my friends M and Babette and I took the opportunity to do some fun sight-seeing in Dublin by bike! I’ve done bike tours in Berlin, London and now Dublin. To be honest, because I’ve been a couple times in Berlin it gave me the confidence later to bike by myself…
How do you know you have really changed?
Tweet It’s great to have the revelation that you have changed. I mean we all talk about “lifestyle change” yadda yadda yadda – we KNOW that we have to change so much about ourselves and we THINK we have… until we lose the weight and gain it back again for whatever reason. OR we don’t…
September: That’s a Wrap!
Tweet 79.2 KG That’s what the scale told me this morning. My first thought was to curse at it or throw it out the window but it only took a couple of seconds to come back to reality. You see, I did this, not the scale, and I wouldn’t throw myself out the window now…
A Look Back and a Look Forward
Tweet Wow you guys, September is already here and I hardly even caught my breath from returning from my US holiday! It was a bit of a struggle to get in a groove again, plus I was a bit sick, plus very busy/stressed at work, but we made it! We are entering my favourite month…
