Run Log 20251013

It’s been a while since I posted a run log here. It’s not that I haven’t been running, because I have, it’s more that I didn’t find the time to write down anything in my log.

After the charity run last month, I reduced my running distance and effort again to focus on recovery, as I’m dealing with some lower back pain issues. I don’t think they result from my running; they’re probably more due to my profession and the amount of travel I do.

Today’s run was a new and different experience. I ran around the massive pool at the hotel where I’m staying for work this week. I completed the run before 7 in the morning, as I was awake early due to yesterday’s travel.

Now that my wife and I have decided on our next holiday destination, it’s time to create a new tag on this website: Costa Rica.

I will use this tag to blog about preparations and our experiences next summer in Costa Rica.

This is our second big family trip outside of Europe, and we are very excited for the experience it will bring us.

The Baku F1 race isn’t disappointing at all. The drivers are racing instead of driving behind the safety car due to too many yellow flags. I hope Tsunoda can keep the door closed for Norris.

Last night, I ran a five-mile race with colleagues. As a charity team, we collected over 4000 euros. The run was fun, and I’m happy with my result, which was under 40 minutes. I built up my race strong, starting the first four kilometers at 5:10 and then slowly increasing my pace every kilometer that followed.

This is one of the official pictures I found of myself running with number 63953.

I’m collecting 52 songs in 52 weeks. Every Friday afternoon, I add a song to my playlist. The aim is to capture my energy and feelings for that particular Friday with the chosen song.
