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…
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…
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…
Week 11 – Attitude Adjustment Needed
Tweet I was hoping Week 11 would be a better week. I still had the feeling it could have been better. I see how everyone is training at the moment and I know I should not compare myself to others (that’s hard). I am honestly doing the best that I can right now. I want…
Week 10 – What’s a nice way to say “Crap”?
Tweet OK Week 10. Not my finest hour after a great running weekend (I promise, the post is coming soon. It’s in the works!). Monday – Travel day, therefore a rest day (not to say that I’ve never run on a travel day before, I actually have!). We actually slept in a wee bit, had…
Week 9 – Road to Berlin
Tweet Here we go. Another week. And an exciting one at that! Dublin Trip Week! Monday – rest day. Oh, wait. Boxing boot camp. I’m sore, sore, sore. Like all my muscles hurt. I also went to manual therapy at 7am and there’s definitely something going on with my back. So I had a bit…
Week 8 – The Road To Berlin now 50% uploaded
Tweet This week was a bit different than normal. I took the week off (though normally we have around 3 weeks of summer holiday, we did not plan on going anywhere this year. Good thing too as there were quite some issues and discussions about schedules during “our” 3 weeks holiday with the kids this…
