Sore thighs but happy ...

Today is a wonderful sunshine day. My thighs are sore from yesterdays training, so I won't run today. But since I've got stuff to do in the city, I will ride my bike this afternoon. Crosstraining. ;-D

Big news: I've already got my starting slot for the half marathon in Leipzig since I signed up for the official running seminar. (You can't register normally for a starting slot right now. So I guess I will have a pretty high starting number. Though I will end up on the end of the results list. :-( ) I was late for the entrance but another participant dropped out, so I got my chance. This means training with a professional coach once a week. Which is great, never had that before. And I get a special shirt too. (God I'm such a girl.)

This is it for today.


Keep running!

Half marathon training day 1

Hi there.

I did run today!
Right after breakfast (Proteinshake chocolate) I used the wonderful sunshine to fill up my batteries. I started out to fast, so at the end I had to walk a few secs here and there. My thighs hurt afterwards when I went down the stairs. But it's worth it. 5 months 6 days and 15 hours to go.


Anywho here are todays stats:

Exe Time: 32 min
In Zone: 16:25 min
Ave Heartrate: 155 bpm


That's it for today, I'm off to the cinema. We're watching "Louise hires a contract killer", should be hilarious.


Keep running!

63 !!!

Hello out there! I wish all of you a happy Tuesday.

Sunday I finally weighed myself again and I'm totally happy to tell ya, that I weigh 63 kg (138,9 lbs) again. Now, don't get confused. Two weeks ago my weight was 65 kg (143,3 lbs). Good, eh?

So, I've wanted to start out running again today. Problem was the weather and the errands I had to run, afterwards I was totally fix and foxy (tired , worn out), so I've decided to skip the running. But I did do my strength exercises just before writing this post. Please be patient with me. Tomorrow will have good weather so I'll run then.

Anywho, I've decided about my next official race! It will be the Half-Marathon at the Leipzig Marathon 2010 on April 25. It's five months still but training starts tomorrow. I've got a goal again!!!

Told ya it's a great day!

Keep running!

Post No. 20

Good Morning. Like I promised the next post and tada it's no. 20.

Anyway, here are todays stats so far (long version):

Sleep: a mess
Weight: 65 kg (I've lost 100 g, ain't that fantastic?)
Water: 50,1 %
Body-Fat: 31,4 % (That's bad, I know.)
Muscles: 34,2 % (Not enough, especially in the winter.)

Running time: 9:19 min (it's a start)
In zone: 1:29 min (ouch)
Ave heartrate: 165 bpm (too high for me)


We finally have good weather again, after a weekend full of rain and even sleet. But it's getting colder, we've had the first frost this morning. All the trees are shedding their leaves, it looks beautiful.

It felt good to run again and like always I see myself running a marathon in 4 weeks time. XD

But this is not going to happen any time soon, since I first have to get my endurance back. Means I have to get back to the magical 30 and then 60 minutes of running, and since this is going to take a bit of time. . .

After this it's speed, I'm too slow if you ask me. I want to run a half marathon in 2, max 2:30 hours. (Last year I ran 2:58 h in Freiburg i. Br., Germany.)

So, I will probably run a half marathon in the spring of 2010 and the whole marathon later that year, maybe in Athens. It isn't decided yet, but since I need goals....

Okay, have to get some paper sorted and trashed. There is still too much flying around here. Yikes.

Do your exercises!
