5 miles
Today was my first day I run 5 miles. Never did this before. I am so proud of myself! Just a few months ago running more than 1 minute sounded crazy to me. :-) I meet up with a friend and he showed me a nice one mile loop and we run for 3 miles. Then I thought I was done and got into my car to drive home. On the way home I ended up in the wrong turn lane at a traffic light - and since it was the...

I just ran 4 miles in 51:34 min. That might not sound fast to some of you but for me it’s 4:26 min faster than last week. I am so tired yet so happy. Ich hab grade 4 Meilen (6.4 km) in 51:34 min gelaufen. Für manche mag das nicht schnell sein aber für mich ist es 4:26 min schneller als letzte Woche. Bin total ko aber gleichzeitig glücklich.

I guess I did something wrong with my food intake yesterday. Half an hour ago I was sooo hungry and therefore I ate an scrambled egg. I have no idea where that hunger came from… Ich glaube, ich hab heute was falsch gemacht mit meiner Nahrungszufuhr. Vor ner halben Stunde war ich sooo hungrig, dass ich mit ein Ruhrei gemacht habe. Ich hab keine Ahnung, woher dieser Hungeranfall kam.

Ben Does Life.: A view from the sidelines. →
bendoeslife: I sit here in my familiar restaurant, in front of my familiar bowl of soup. With my familiar (and spectacular) waitresses who keep my drink refilled. My pen lies on my notebook and my fingers rest on the keyboard. And as I sit, I peer over my computer, beyond the blog, beyond Facebook, beyond my… Have you thought to try running in the water? Maybe that’s something...

run done
My run for today is done. 4 miles at a 14 min pace. I was afraid I might not keep the pace since I run everyday since Thursday. Tomorrow will be a rest day - my legs need it. On Thursday I will be back for another run. Meine heutiger Lauf ist rum. 4 Meilen mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 14:00 min pro Meile. Ich hatte etwas Angst, dass ich die Geschwindigkeit nicht halten kann, da ich seit...

Finally...
Finally I managed to convince my husband to do some sport and we started with running. Today was the first day. We started with Couch to 5K (C25K) and did the day 1 week 1 (D1W1). I am so happy he started running and now I keep my fingers crossed that he keeps it up. For me it was an easy run/walk since we did a very slow pace. Tomorrow I will do my 4 mile training run at a faster pace....

I got a new scale yesterday. Not that I use it often but our old dial scale sucks. I wasn’t able read it most of the time. The nice thing about the new scale is that I lost some weight since I last stepped on a scale. Gestern hab ich eine neue Waage gekauft. Nicht dass ich sie so oft nutze aber unsere alte analoge Waage ist einfach nervig. Die meiste Zeit kann ich nicht erkennen, wo...

Today a new runner came out to our group and I was running with her. After 0.5 mi we meet a dog running around by himself. How the hell did that dog get there? He was well trained and did not try to jump us nor did he do a lot of barking. But we both felt better if we stick together during our run. She agreed to run 3 miles (instead of 2) and I did not do my fast 2nd mile. We run 3 miles with an...

The workout I uploaded worked great. I could easily maintain my pace. Glad it worked out so well. Das Training, das ich vorhin hochgeladen hat, hat super funktioniert. Ich konnte meine Geschwindigkeit leicht halten. Bin froh, dass es so gut funktioniert hat.

Just uploaded a workout to my garmin forerunner. Now I wait till my run to see if I did everything correct… Has anybody ever uploaded some workouts to the garmin? Habe grade ein vorgefertigtes Training in mein Garmin Forerunner hochgeladen. Nun warte ich bis zu meinem Lauf und sehe, ob ich alles richtig gemacht habe. Hat jemand das schon einmal gemacht?

Last day in Puerto Rico. Tonight we will be at home again. Can’t wait. I love my in laws but after two weeks I am so ready to be in my own 4 walls again. Just a few more hours to go. Heute ist unser letzter Tag in Puerto Rico. Heute Abend sind wir wieder daheim. Kann es nicht abwarten. Ich mag meine Verwandten hier aber nach 2 Wochen bin ich froh, wieder meine eigenen vier Wänden zu haben....

Today I run again. I did 3 miles and at the end I was really really tired. Even more tired than after my 5K in December. I was wondering what could have caused me to be so tired after my run. The only thing I came up with is that my body lost some of the fitness during the time I was ill and not able to train. Has anybody else encounter this? Nach meinem heutigen Lauf war ich super geschafft....

new year resolutions
I know I am a little late to post my new years resolutions for 2011. I wrote them done last year but for some reason I did not find the time to post them here. Every time I wanted to write them something else happened and I had to leave my MacBook. Now I finally found the time to write them down. Here are my new years resolutions for 2011: 1. I want to do sports at least 3 times a week. I guess...

I hope to take a few nice pictures and have a great first day in 2011. Wir sind grade unterwegs zur Ostküste von Puerto Rico. Wir wollen jemanden besuchen (hab vergessen wen) und dann wollen wir in einem Restaurant was essen. Ich...
