A visit from home

Growing up I didn’t have family near by. The closest thing we had to family was my friends family, her brother grew up with my sister, me with my friend and our parents shared experiences with being new in a foreign cold country. She will always be my sister equally as much as my blood sister is because no matter what time in my life she has always been there.

This weekend she has visited together with her boyfriend, and despite the weather not being the best we have managed to get a short walk into Frühlingsfest, having dinners with a jenga marathon, eaten brunch at a really nice and taken in the gravity of living in Munich (visiting a museum about the rise of the NASDP and their atrocities).

Sometimes it’s nice to let go of routines and not manage to get in the training you should, but now I feel ready to get some miles under my belt 💪

Saturday-run

It’s weird how good sleep can make you feel. Last night my tummy was all messed up my head was hurting and despite claiming that I wasn’t tired I fell asleep in the middle of a 28 min long Silicon Valley episode.

At 7:30ish I woke up feeling relaxed and calm, tummy didn’t hurt and head was more than good. Me and M headed down to the store to buy somethings for the weekend, made a proper oatmeal breakfast (mine had physalis, coconut flakes and raspberries) and then I felt good enough to go for a run!

Saturday 23/03

3rd outside run. I’m struggling with pace, I feel like I can run faster so I run too fast get too out of breath and have to walk. Today I wanted to do some sprint work out as it helps with overall speed training. Sprints fell good but also incredibly hard on the stamina. Had to walk for a long time after to catch my breath. Saw an old man running and tried to keep to his pace which worked wonders… maybe I need a seasoned runner as a running buddy.

Red faced and proud

Now for a trip to the lake to eat ice cream 🍦😋

A new day has come

So yesterday was a bit depressing. I felt like all my energy had been wasted on nothing.

But the great thing with new days is that they are a new chance to do begin again! I started the day with a bowl of yoghurt, some raspberries and boyfriend made granola.

I love when he makes me granola. This one has toasted oats, chia seeds, quinoa puffs, almonds and dark chocolate… mmm soo yummy…. Now work, and then an hours session at the gym 💪 I will, I can, I shall conquer the treadmill.
