With only 6 hours of sleep last night due to an early flight to Barcelona this morning, my body didn’t recover well after yesterday’s 12,8-kilometer long run. So for today, I only completed a 15:00 minute recovery run on the famous Avinguda Diagonal. I trained intending to keep my average heart rate below 130 bpm, which I successfully achieved.
I ended up writing these things this thingsThisWeek one day later than usual while waiting for my flight to depart for Barcelona. The weekend was busy and fun, and because of that, I didn’t have time to sit down and reflect on my last week.
I’m keeping it short, enjoy reading the updates below.
I packed my stuff again for four days of travel to Barcelona. I’m on the first flight out tomorrow morning, so I needed to pack my stuff this evening. I don’t enjoy packing my suitcase for work on Sundays. Starting to pack means the weekend is over, at least mentally.
While this is technically Week 7 of my half-marathon training plan, I needed to return to Week 4 training levels to pick things up again.
Week 4 of my training schedule ended on April 20th. Between then and May 5th, I could only complete four runs, which is now leading to this setback in my schedule. While my initial goal was to increase my pace, I have now adjusted my goal to completing another Half-Marathon distance under 2 hours. The reasoning is twofold:
Finishing under two hours would still be an improvement compared to my last half-marathon distance run on March 30th of this year.

I updated this website last night and made some final CSS changes to the front page this morning. I’m happy with how things have turned out. As you can see, I decided to design the front page around the topics that matter most to me: Running and Photography.
Apart from updating the design, I also updated the technology behind my site. As a result, everything posted here is automatically shared with the Fediverse. The easiest way to follow updates remains RSS, but if you prefer seeing these updates in your favorite Mastodon client, you can also follow the account @blog@camiel.schoonens.nl.
Now that the design and technology are in place, I will start structuring my content differently to make the overall browsing experience more consistent when browsing different site sections.
