Trail!!

Today I spent two hours jogging and walking in the forest, getting aquainted with trail running/waddling as I have registered for the Marathon of Dangers/Vaarojen Maraton at the beginning of October.

I'm taking the 15K this year, maybe 43K next year??!!

Today's jog went surprisingly well as I can still feel Friday's full body (focus on legs though) workout.

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??!!!

I'm back, bitches!

Today I did my first 'proper' workout after the flu and recovery from it. It was about a month since my last proper workout.

Wallballs, kettlebell forward swings, squats, abs, planks etc etc for 50 minutes with my PT.

I'm off to work tomorrow. Packing my outdoors gear, if weather allows I will jog on the deck!! Yey!! Fresh air!!

I'm back, bitches!!

Outdoors & indoors

On Saturday I did a one hour walk&jog along the forest trail. Horrible conditions, very slippery in places, had to be super careful not to trip over.

Felt good to be OUTDOORS!

I'm so sick and tired of the indoors.

Sunday was one hour of Nordic Walking along streets as conditions were even worse than on Saturday. Slippery, and snowing!

Monday was 55 minutes full-body workout with my PT.

I won't be able to move a muscle on Tuesday :)

Saturday. Forest trail.

Treehugging on Saturday. Try it, you'll love it! It's very calming and it gives you strength. Seriously.

Plank Challenge!
