It has been six weeks from my last #run toot. But I’ve been #running though. A bit behind my target for this year but it’s OK.

Did run through the winter so I’m happy about that. There was a ten day break when I was afraid getting a flu but practically didn’t. Did walks just in case so not totally sedentary. Promised myself to do strength training, which I’ve done almost regularly and also indoors rowing.

Did even my first #halfmarathon (not in a competition). Blaming the wife since she had this plan all along but lured me into a 15k and then started to add “one more?” until we reached 21+ km. Not angry though, it was a nice surprise we could make it ❤️. After 20 mins of warming up we ran 1.5 km and then walked for a minute. Repeat and rinse until the end.

Almost all the #snow is gone. Forecast promises some snow next weekend but let’s see. Daytime temps have been 1…7°C and nights -2-2°C. Sunrise 6.42, sunset at 20.04.

Big day today: I ran the #venloop2026 half marathon. The weather was ideal. 10° C, sunny and the forecasted strong gusts did not show up. Took it kind of easy but still finished strong. Still have it in me.

17k in planned Halfmarathon pace (not going for any PB just sub2) and Garmin says only 12h recovery time. Man, that escalated quickly. 😅😉🏃

I didn't know how to truly rest until I ran twenty-one kilometers.

My body always had something to protect. The race was the first time it didn't.

Has effort ever opened something that rest alone couldn't reach?
