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!

Leader of the green runners

Wuuhuuu 31/12 i Survived the Social half marathon... and as you can see on the image, dressed in ethically correct clothing.

Fast-Food/Slow-Food vs. Fast-human/Slow-human

I Love food (who doesn't?!) anyway some food, like fast food has a quite bad reputation, like it's fat, it doesn't make you feel full, and if it does, not for a long time.
Today I'm making Burgers. Baking the bun my self, creating the meat-mix myself.
The fast-food ends up as slow food, it took 3 hour to make the bun, and 2 hours to do the meat-mix.

I really hope that my spinach-buns goes well with the Jamie-Oliver-Elvis-Burger. Time will show. Right now the buns are cooling, and the meat is in the fridge mixed with the spices for more taste.
Anyway I concluded on the way, that this Burger in any way was a healthy burger.

I read a philosophy once about a society called slow society (I think). Anyway the persons there had cellphones, Facebook and so on, but they only used the occasionally, when they had the need. The idea was to enjoy the moment, and not always be planning something ahead. I would like to state that I'm that kind of person, belonging to that society, but most likely I'm just a fool, that never carries the cellphone around.

Anyway I like the Idea, It's very tree-hugger-alike.

Running in the desert.

I've been on vacation, but of course did I run.. I have to keep in shape and move forward to the test of all tests, marathon.

I must admit the run in the desert was quite short, but I managed to do a 15 km run in the gym. It was awfull to run in 27 degrees compared to -5 which I right now is used to. The heat caused that the second run was only 6 k because I could not stand the heat, (and my boyfriend reminded me that this is vacation, and I had to relax more, run less).

Anyway I used the opportunity to try out the Energy-Gels which I bought in Berlin. I will not say that I had a Wouw-Effect, but I succeeded and ran quite fast, so something must have had a good effect.

Anyway, now I'm back in the cold, no excuses for not running.

Sunday bloody sunday

Again Sunday came by, which means long distance running club. Today 18 k ... in snow! I can tell you, 18k is quite a long trip, I started on team 10 (running 5.40min/km) as usual, It was a tough run but I made it... even though I must say it was not easy.
I'd dressed up for -5C ... but when we started it was 1C so I had way to much clothes on!

My new beanie did a good job, but because of the heat, it was totally wet, when we'd reach the finish-line.

Anyway, I'm glad I made it. and now I can spend the rest of the day in the couch.

Tomorrow another working week starts. YAY

Brrrrr..... Winter time!

Oh oh.. getting mentally ready for the 18k tomorrow, I haven't been running for a week, and it's snowing, it's below freezing point even in daytime, so plan for today is-> buy a beanie or something else which will rescue my ears from freezing off.

it's said that you loose 60% of your body heat through  the head.. which in my case would be a non negligible part of the global warming.
