Back on the track!

Well.. since we're getting closer to Berlin Marathon training is needed. To be honest I almost haven't been running  really since CPH marathon.
I've signed up for the local running-club "sparta" and have been running every second day, about 10 K the last 2 weeks.
...And today I tried going for a longer run.... but I totally died on the way. I ran 12½ km that's it.
Man... Marathon's getting closer, I'm hoping that I'll be able to run at least 20 K next weekend.

Rain, rain, rain...

After arriving in Denmark we've only experienced one type of weather: rain..... since we've only been here in 4 days, and all ready hate it, I can't imagine the guys who didn't go away on vacation, since it's been raining almost for 3 weeks in a row!
Today I went out running in the rain, to see how my sprained foot would react, and yes, it worked out very good!
NICE no need to cancel my Berlin Marathon plans!

Also, after arriving in Denmark, the first meal we had was "rugbrød" (some kind of sour-dough rye bread), the second was havegryn (oat meal) and the third rugbrød again... Suddenly my stomach had loads of fibres to work with compared too the American food we've had the last 3 weeks...

Getting back from Vacation

Ah.. after 3 weeks of nice vacation, road trip in the western US today I returned to work. By the way, good idea to start on a friday, then you'll only have to work 1 day before weekend's here!
Anyway,  today I also grew quite much older, since they today made me responsible for the projects in Poland. Well not that the projects at this time seem like a big challenge, but still....

Though I'm glad to get the task, something different, not too hard, and it might show management, that I'm cable of doing this.

So next week is going to be an interesting week coming up!

By the way, there's only 9 weeks to Berlin Marathon.. and I haven't start training yet. Guess it's going to be a kamikaze marathon!
Last night I've paid my membership to the local athletic and running club, so now I have no excuses not to get in shape, unless I get injured of course! (right now I have sprained my right ankle lightly)
For now I'll just see in what shape I am, after 3 weeks of American food, and almost no running, let's see if I will be able to join the faster and more challenging team in late August.
That would be cool!

Chasing Lightning

Last night a big thunder storm passed by, what a great opportunity to take pictures of lightnings.
Anyway it didn't all take place as I wished for, The storm took a more southern route, so I couldn't really get some good shoots that where close.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures;

Many lightnings were hidden in the clouds which results in a HDR look... pretty cool error! Still I am not satisfied with the photos, so I'll just have to wait for the next thunder storm to show up!

Nike Marathon-test 1 tomorrow... desperation!

Ok.. tomorrow we will face the first nike Marathon test.. Ok.. it's only 10 Km. This week, thursday, my ols Polar RS 200 Sports-watch froze...so todat i went shopping.. and bourght a Garmin Forerunner 305. I'm very exited about this purchase, because I after each training session am putting my data on Endomondo.. and now the Garmin 305 will do everything for me... except uploading, at that point I'll have to help manually, but that's OK for now.

I hope my new watch will be behaving nicely tomorrow.... I guess I'll need to take a morning walk to test it before the race.

Wuhuuu....Running Gadgets :D

Phew... I really hope the winter will be over soon...

So now we're back on track, running 40-60 km / week.... and as a bonus gaining speed. today we face a 23 km run, and I'm looking forward to it. Today I'll join running team 10.. since team 12 where getting a bit to slow for me, so let's see how that works out. This is also the first trip where you'll need to bring your own energy drink/water since the 2 normal posts not are sufficient.

The weather is behaving very well, clear blue sky, and -5 deg.C it's going to be great!

Vamos a ver :D

Hvem er vi? Hold 10!
Hvem er vi? Hold 10!
Hvem er vi? Hold 10! 
Hvem er vi? Hold 10!
