After my marathon prep got messed up in 2015, I decided to give up (half) marathons. As I'm getting older and my body is aching much quicker than it used to. I decided it was the smartest thing to do... But the heart wants, what it wants. Ain't no arguing with that. It all started … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop
Getting out there
Out of your comfort zone, that's where the magic happens. Even if you suck at it! It sounds so cheesy, but it is the truth. Getting out of your comfort zone is really scary.

Some goals, recovery almost done
Oh crap. I didn't realize that my last post was from October. Oops. But ya know, work, study, training, more work, more study, a lot of study. I don't like Newyears' resolutions, but I really hope to write more often than I did in 2015. Update so far: My back feels much better, still not … Continue reading Some goals, recovery almost done
No goals, just recovery
About five weeks ago I hurt my back again. During my one and only holiday this year. I'm not kidding. Despite my back problems, getting a cold and the rainy weather I really enjoyed my holiday. It felt like holiday, it just felt good. Sea, beach, surfing, yoga, good food, fine wine. I couldn't wish … Continue reading No goals, just recovery

Along the sideline – #16 Oslo Diary
What the hell is wrong with me? Since a week I've been sitting on my ass. No runs, no crossfit, no yoga. Because doc said so. When you are used to train like 5 times a week and that part is suddenly missing from your life, it turns your routine upside down. I have plenty … Continue reading Along the sideline – #16 Oslo Diary

Lost that loving feeling – #15 Oslo diary
Since May 26th my running has been very minimal, and Crossfit too. Busy with motor racing, getting a mild bronchitis, going to a 3 day music festival.
