WRD: Week 21:2021 – My last real Weekly Run Down for a bit
Wait, what? Well if you read my post on Friday, then you know why. I’m not going to do a WRD for a bit until I’m actually “running” (walking?) something down for the week. The Weekly Run Downs are such a great way to connect to other runner and fitness bloggers. I will contribute to…
WRD: Week 17:2021 Long Live The King
It was the King’s birthday this week and “normally” the entire county celebrates with parties in the streets, wearing fun orange outfits or accessories and on that day there is a “free market’ – basically one giant yard sale, where people sell all the crap they’ve been dying to get rid of all year. Oh…
WRD: More Movement
It was another busy week. As you can maybe tell from how late I was with the weekly run down linkup and with not responding to comments again. I could use a bit of a lesson on managing my time more wisely! Anyway, based on my goals for June, I’d say this was a good…
WRD – Week 33 Noah Called
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 yourself…
WRD: Week 32 – Progress
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 Monday…
Week 33 – Vacation Mode: ON
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 sitting…
Week 29 – All Aboard the Struggle Bus!
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 be…
Stages of Grief When Faced with Not Running
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 be…
Week 15 – This is pretty much it #roadtoberlin
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 several…
The Dublin By Bike Experience
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 in…
