Just a quick 5K before cooking for 37 people at a mission weekend from tonight onwards. Guess I wanted a bit too much after dragging stuff around all day, packing, wholesale groceries yesterday and Tuesdays 12K. So I had to catch my breath and heartbeat a couple of times. ;), Avg Cadence:77

I feel great. Completely misjudged the distance and ran 12 instead of 6km. But it went pretty well considering. And it was the first time I crossed a border running. :), Avg Cadence:75

Decided I wanted to do an easy run this afternoon as it felt a bit too close to Friday’s 10K nightrun and I’m flying early Monday morning. However, I think easy runs need more practice as I keep pushing and thinking “I shouldn’t do that”. It was a good run, with good weather. So, happy.… Lees verder Oranjeweg

Had a great night. Ran pretty well considering the hour and the 700 fellow runners and walkers. Happy. , Avg Cadence:76

After Sunday’s 9K I still felt my legs and I have a busy schedule today. So I decided to just do 5K this morning. It went well at just over 6 minutes and I had power left to speed up at 800, 400, 200 and 100 meters from the end. Or at least, that’s what… Lees verder Oranjeweg, 5K @ 7

Have I ever told you that I hate running in the evening? I do, if it’s not for an event that I stupidly signed up for. Today I had a busy day with church, a birthday party with cake etc and then a nice dinner. Remind me never to run an hour after dinner again.… Lees verder I’ve still got to night run

I felt like I needed something to boost morale after Tuesday’s run. So I set out to try and do a 6 minute 10K. I got to 8 @ 6m and then my spleen started hurting. I guess I need a slower start to make 10K as I started on 5:30 or so. Suggestions welcome.… Lees verder 8K @6m, 10K @ 7

I wanted to do an easy longer run and started out at 9 minutes per kilometer. About 3,5K in, I started to feel my knee, I started to feel tired and there was burning grass in the road. It took me 10 minutes to get the story to the fire department. So I decided to… Lees verder Slow to interval

Can I just say “fantastic”? After how I did my 7K earlier this week, I wanted to know how a 10K would go. I set my target pace at something I thought I could make and -as ever- left a bit too fast. Then after the locks at Goese Sas, I decided to run on… Lees verder Target: 10K @ 7m – Result: 11K @ 6:24m, 10K @ 7

Man, this was tougher then I expected. I did the round I set out to do, but I really feel my arms, neck, shoulders and back now. Guess I need more practice. ;), Avg Cadence:-
