Still no reply from Athens




Thursday was 'PT theme night' at the gym.
I participated in core, flexibility, interval running and 'explosiveness' classes.
Today is Saturday, rest day, and my ans still hurt!!! Ha ha ha!!

Yesterday, Friday, I just did an easy recovery jog.

I've emailed Athens Authentic Marathon regarding my payment and registration but have still not received any reply..
I'm waiting...

Athens Authentic Marathon

Registration for Athens Authentic Marathon has opened, I have registered, paid 100€ through bank wire but so far received no confirmation.. ??? Hmm???
Very interesting...

I have skied 11,5 km crosscountry!!! Two weeks ago Ahmovaara-Kopravaara. Nearly 30 years since my previous skiing escapade.
I survived :)

At work I've been jogging on deck 12, lots of warm clothes required since it's quite windy.

I will waddle Marathon-Athens in 5,5 hours on November 8th!

Athens, Greece, here I come!

I did not get a place in the 2015 NYC Marathon on November 1st.
Such is life.
I'm going to participate in the Marathon-Athens marathon instead, on November 8th! 
Registration opens March 15th. There's no draw for places, you just register.
It feels so good to have a real plan, to know the exact date for when I'm going to run 42,2 km.
The weather should be quite nice in Greece in November.

I started 2015 deck jog season in late February!! Woo hoo! The deck is still quite slippery, I'm very careful and go at 'penguin pace'. 
Four times jogging during the work week! Not bad!
Felt great to get some fresh air!!

Now I'm home again and today my PT made spaghetti out of me during our workout.
Tomorrow I go to visit my second oldest brother for the weekend.
We're going cross-country skiing on Friday. I haven't been on skis for nearly 30 years!! What have I gotten myself into??!!!
