I’ve been in Marrakech since yesterday with three of my longest-standing friends. Two of them joined me this morning on a recovery run around the city.

Today’s interval run was initially planned for yesterday morning, but I had to skip that run; my day was too packed to complete a training session next to everything else. This was intense training at an average pace of 4:47 per kilometer.

Gelezen: Donker Water 📚

Het derde boek in de ‘Erika Foster‘ serie van Robert Bryndza was een stuk beter dan het tweede deel. Het is maar goed dat ik door gegaan ben met het lezen van deze serie.

Dit boek heeft een lekkere vlotte opbouw waarbij ieder hoofdstuk spannend is. Ook vind ik dat de hoofdpersoon van het boek nu beter uit de verf komt, het karakter is verder uitgediept en niet alleen maar een ‘hoekig’ persoon die met iedereen ruzie maakt.
