It’s January 2026 and I can’t even remember the last time I did a weekly run down. Since I’m a bit late with the link up, I’ll still go ahead and do the thing – after all a recap is also good for myself! Feel free to join the link up each week to share your fitness successes and challenges!
Monday 29/12
Work Day. My dear friend Tina (@crantina) went back to Calgary yesterday and unfortunately I had to work
Walking: 4KM – It was quite mild out and I wasn’t completely wiped from therapy so I took advantage of my energy and went out to the park.
Tuesday 30/12
Another work day. Nothing too exciting. Was able to use my lunch break for a quick run downtown to pick up a few needed items.
Walking: 2KM
Wednesday 31/12
Still had to work but signed off at 2pm. Had a friend coming over so did some tidying up and then somehow felt the need to completely deep clean my kitchen..
Walking: 4KM right when I finished work. Actually went to the park to check the parkrun course because it’s been freezing and snowing here…
Thursday 1/1
parkrun was a go! I was Run Director so no run or walk for me. 30 brave souls showed up just before 9am to run. Am always surprised how many people show up on New Year’s Day when the fireworks don’t stop here until like 3 or 4 AM.
Walking: 2.5KM Considering the fact that I did not want to and only set out to do 1KM, this felt like a big win.
Friday 2/1
I had to work. UGH. Used my lunch break again to go out to the park to check the course because of course Saturday is parkrunday …
Walking: 4KM. It was snowing and absolutely beautiful in the park. But yeah, no way we were going to have parkrun the next day.
Saturday 3/1
No parkrun but I had an appointment to go to a specialty store to get walking shoes. It was snowing and Ron didn’t want to drive and since all my snow driving has ever been in Chicago that makes me pretty much an expert for life haha!
Got the shoes and some longer socks and a cute headband that matches my coat (and my nails currently). Happy Camper.
Walking: 4.3KM – was supposed to be 5KM but it was a just a fun little event in Zwolle (so driving again in the snow) – The Chocolate Walk. OMG it was amazing. It was dreamy-snowing and the city still had all the Holiday lights up. Quality bonbons all along the way as well. And Glühwein. It was heaven. I don’t know if we just went the wrong way or it is was “approximately” 5KM, but it does’t matter, we simply had a great time.
Sunday 4/1
Only thing on the plan today was a walk in Sonsbeek and Zypendaal with two ladies I know (one happens to be my neighbor) from Arnhem Together. Again totally dreamy in the park, and hot chocolate afterwards. I thought I would never want chocolate again after last night, but nope, completely over that ha!
Walking: 6KM
Total Walking: 26.8KM! Whoo Hoo!
