it's freezing in Luxembourg...

...I went for an hour run on Sunday instead of a long run because the weather was awful...I don't mind rain or snow. I went for a 25 km run in the snow the first Sunday I was at home (that was a week ago) and I loved it! but I HATE THE COLD, last Sunday it was  -12 degrees...and it was horrible!The scarf I had in front of my face even froze...brrr...
I hope the weather gets nicer, I'll be frustrated if this goes on for another week!

27.88 km!

Holidays just started and I am going back to Luxembourg next Friday...I am well excited! I am looking forward to train around my home town:)!!
I really hope to get 30 km done during the month I am home! Last week, on Friday I managed to do 27.88 km without feeling too bad the next day:)! I was sooo happy...:)! Distances become less and less scarier over the last few weeks!
I noticed that this is already my 7th week of "training", so still 17 more weeks to go...!!

I'll keep you updated!

Runners, yeah we are different.

Some days ago, a friend of mine send me a picture of an old adidas running campaign which was made in 1999 or 2000 I think.


I tried to find all the pictures and I really think that this, for once, is a campaign that shows what you sometimes need to experience being a runner. How running can change you or make you do things you would not do otherwise. Things non-runners will always fail to understand, things that happen that can be really private but still funny to experience.


Especially the picture with the girl peeing behind the tree, what can I say...this is just me! Thinking about the half-marathon in Germany, I see myself sitting in a field, with thousands of runners passing me and watching me while peeing. I couldn't care less then I still do not care today.


Have fun looking at the adverts!!
