Still Standing

This past week, my life has been completely taken over by my other big hobby:

Palera

It’s been one hell of a week, involving amongst other things much carrot cake, a few tears, more logistics than I can shake a stick at, a horse that saved the day and a very successful classical dressage demonstration evening.

I stayed with a friend all week and in between organising everything, running just wasn’t anywhere near the top of my priority list. I just tiptoed out her front door and fitted in a sneaky run in whenever I could – she stays in a beautiful place, so it was easy to just cruise out of her house and into the woods! I realised that I didn’t think of the runs in terms of my training at all, there were no thoughts of time, distance, pace, intervals, etc. Instead, I ran when I needed a bit of space and quiet time to myself.

I was therefore very surprised when I found that I had still managed to sneak in a total of 67 km of zen running over the course of the week (all of which will all go towards Kyla’s Around the World Running Blog Relay).

There are two things which I know for certain: I’m definitely still standing and I’m absolutely not standing still.

    Sounds like some relaxing runs! Way to go. I’m in the world challenge too, and was also able to add some fun miles this week.

    • Awesome! I love following how far we are running together. It’s really fun to think about that on runs too, that I’m really running all these miles with lots of other cool people from all over the world!

    Have things calmed down a bit yet?! What’s the world challenge?

    • No rest for the wicked! As for the Around the World Run Blog Relay, have a look at the tab on the side of the blog (#ATWRBR) – it’ll tell you all about it. 😉
