  • ๐Ÿƒ 13 km in slightly less than 90 minutes. I tried a different route, hoping it was longer. Alas, almost the same distance. So I had to make an additional loop to make it thirteen full thousand meters, with legs already tired after 30 minutes of running. Tomorrow will be 14 km.

  • It is kind of frustrating that a blogpost, read in less than five minutes, takes many hours to write, especially if only 40 (or less) people will be reading it, and maintaining it costs โ‚ฌ70/yr, or โ‚ฌ1.40 per post, especially now that there have been no races for me to compete in.

  • I get that people get excited over vaccinations. However, itโ€™s not a cure, and doesnโ€™t protect 100%. So, hand washing, social distancing, and wearing masks in public places remain essential to protect the weakest. After vaccination measures can be relaxed, but wonโ€™t disappear.

  • Another consecutive ๐Ÿƒ day. After yestday’s “speed” I had to moderate today’s slightly. After 12.5 km I was pretty tired and stiff, remedied by some stretching. My current goal is daily 15 km runs at an easy pace by the end of April, which shouldn’t be much of a problem, I guess.

  • The prompt for the Sketch a Day app was exam. My experiences with exams are generally negative, especially preparing for it, and only needing a fraction to pass. I remember nothing of what Iโ€™ve learned. A good thing, since most of it was later proven factual wrong.

  • I went for a run, and today I ran almost 1.5 km farther in 75 minutes than yesterday. Still not in shape, though, because thatโ€™s still 3.5 km more in the same amount of time, or 30% faster than I went today. Obviously, I still have a long way to go to get back into shape.

  • I went for a ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ It went much better than yesterday, when I kept hitting my maximum โ™ฅ๏ธ heart rate, like I was sprinting 8 km long. Now, at the 8 km point, I got โšก๏ธโž•โ„๏ธ , because of course I did. Tomorrow the same course in opposite direction. I do it just to get back in shape.
