The knee thing

As you all know my knee got hurt at my first race januari the 15th. Irritated IT band and pain and all that stuff. Really annoying and frustrating. In the past three weeks I did five testruns. And I think I'm good to go! Steady and easy of course. Did an almost 5k run Sunday. …

Polar Express

So I have been thinking. 2017 has been a very difficult year for me on many levels. Not just my mother passing away, but also a small burnout and some mental health issues that arose to the surface. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting better and stronger each day. I know it will be …

A new path

My blog died a little bit. A little bit? It died completely! I still like to write, even better, I really love it! But why did I stop writing? Too busy? Did life happen? If it meant that much to me, I would have made time to write. This blog lost its purpose to me. …

Can’t stop, won’t stop

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 …

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 …

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 …

#last Oslo Diary

I'v been away too long and I'm so sorry! It has been very busy and really busy and it were challenging times for me. I thought about my running plans a lot. As you know, I've been injured for a couple of weeks. Since three weeks I'm allowed to go at it again, not at …

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 …

Back up – #13 Oslo Diary

I jinxed it! Bragging about how awesome and fast I got with my running. Bam! The next day sore throat and a cold and 10 days a lot of stress and studying. I missed 2 runs in 10 day and running felt heave and not awesome anymore. Worst thing is, I failed that stupid test too. …

#12 Oslo Diary

I couldn't come up with a proper title for this piece. When I started to write about my marathon adventure, I promised myself to write at least one piece each week, but it seems I can't keep that promise. And it annoys the crap out of me. I mean writing one piece each week, should …
