I haven’t run since last week. It started snowing – I’m not geared for running in the snow nor where the conditions suitable where I live. It’s been snowing since the weekend. In our yard there is about 30cm of snow, the council workers haven’t gotten around to clearing the snow in many areas around… Read More
Monday – Tuesday Rest Wednesday Weights Thursday 15km run on treadmill (77 minutes) Felt great today. The plan was to do an easy thirty minute run or so due to the five days I had off but I didn’t see a point in stopping since the run was going well. I need to do longer… Read More
Thanksgiving Day in America today. I’m not American but I like the idea of Thanksgiving – it’s such a positive holiday. Saying thanks and being grateful for all the wonderful things we are blessed with is not common, nor is it something most of us are aware of. Gratitude is one of those emotions that… Read More
My grandmother never fails to tell me she doesn’t understand why I would want to run around the block, sweat like a pig and tire myself out for no reason at all. The answer is simple, our preferred leisure activities are different – she likes to garden, go for a bike ride or walk while… Read More
One of my goals for this month was to cook something I haven’t cooked before. Easy and enjoyable. While one of the items didn’t work out the way I hoped (tastes good, looks not so good), the other two worked out just the way I hoped. Running allows me to enjoy the food I love… Read More

Yesterday, I ran the XXII Independence Day Run in Warsaw. All round the day was great – fun, exhausting and successful. I managed to finish with a time of 49:39. What I was even more excited about was my significant other finished with a PR of 44:08.
I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by truck sometime during the night. Opening my eyes was a struggle; I didn’t even want to consider get out of bed. Luckily, on Wednesdays I work from home so I allowed myself a sleep in – till 8am. At 9am I had breakfast… Read More
