6 km (3.7 miles)! First time longer than 5k this year! 😄🎉

Very proud of myself! Didn´t really want to go at first, it is quite stormy today, but I pushed myself and actually quite enjoyed running in the wind. 

Also broke in my new running shoes today. Got them quite muddy. Running in them feels great, though they are definitely not waterproof.

Just a really great run today!

“I’m not saying being a runner makes you better than anyone else, but one thing is for sure. Running makes you different. You begin to understand the connection between your feet and the ground. You start to believe in the beauty of unfiltered conversation. You learn that you have to face your deepest demons on 10 mile runs when no one else is around. You become the wind. You love to high five your rivals, the people who just beat you. You learn that your mind and body must coexist in a healthy relationship. So no, running does not make you special. But it sure as hell wakes you up.”

you don’t have to wait for a new start. start over next week. start over tomorrow morning. start now.

life is too short to wait for the perfect moment to make changes. the perfect moment is the one you choose.

5k run today. Was a little slow, because I didn't run last week, but that is fine. I'm proud I pushed through!

Little Challenge this month

I'm turning 30 this month, so I'll try to run either 30 km or 30 miles (48 km).

Wish me luck!

Short run today. 😄

So I registered for my first 5k race this year

It will be in April, which gives me ample time to train. Would love to get under 30 min on race day, maybe even under 28 min? So far my current PR is 33:57 min for 5k. Lets see what I can accomplish in 9 weeks of training!

Oh, and I also ordered new running shoes, so I have a back-up in case my 7 year old running shoes finally disintegrate. Found some for 20 € at Decathlon. Not the highest quality for sure, but for running 2 - 3 times a week they will do. Curious how good or bad they will turn out.

Went to the gym twice this week! 💪

Did legs on Tuesday and today arms and upper body. Proud of myself!

PS: Also did 2 km running on the treadmill. :)
