Inspired? Or sleepy...

Kronberg/Ts. , 8 AM... and what I am doing? Running, off course but sleeping might be better... Anyway, currently it's most of the time a real enjoyment to run pretty early in the morning. Sun rise is at around 6 AM and after my daily ride to work I am ready at 7 something to start, usually around 10 to 12 degrees Celsius (50 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit), no rain (when lucky) make it really a pleasure. You just have to beware of the dogs because at that time it seems that all dog owner have their first tour with their pets ;-( Only solution is to run as far as possible into the forest...

Run distance was about 16k (10mls) and took me about 1:20h, pretty flat course.

Back to (Running) Life

A new house means (possibly) a new career, haha...

Anyway, after some weeks of non-competitive running (=jogging) I participated in the Gießener Frühjahrsläufe and clocked with a 1:22:50 for the half marathon, i.e. 4th rank in total, not to bad for such an old guy ;-) With execellent weather I really enjoyed it (possibly except the last 2k)...

10 Meilen durch'n Wald

Heute war mal Vater-Sohn-Tag angedacht, d.h. ein richtiger Männertag so ganz ohne die beiden Frauen der Familie. Also, erst mal ab in den Supermarkt zum Verpflegung holen (Powerade, Fruchtzwerg, Sixpack und diverse andere, vornehmlich süße, Sachen) und danach nix wie in den Wald. Grund dafür: Der alljährliche 10-Meilenlauf durch den Licher Wald stand nämlich an und als gutes Vereinsmitglied fühlt man sich ja verpflichtet, zu helfen wo man nur kann ;-) Außerdem war das mal eine ganz schöne Abwechslung für das Möbelschleppen am Morgen und die Fahrt nach Darmstadt zur Imke-Hochzeit am Abend...

Auch mal ausruhen ist angesagt...

Training run (LSD)

7 AM today in the morning, the long(?) slow distance run was scheduled. That means, wake up, get into the car and drive as fast as possible to work and get out of the car and let's start. Starting in Kronberg (where I am working), running to the Saalburg, taking a rest of one or two minutes and then getting back. In total I estimated that I have to run about 28k, so early in the morning could be not just fun. Additionally, I had to gain (and loose) some meters (see below).
