There are only two more meetings to go before I officially end my workweek and start my summer holidays. I was fortunate enough to travel to Sud-Tirol, Italy, earlier this week and finish my work from there while my wife and daughter enjoyed their first holiday days.
Running in the Alps in the ‘Sud-Tirol’ area today. We arrived here yesterday afternoon and are staying here until Saturday. I enjoyed this run on the slopes at 1200m, it was the perfect exercise after driving 700 kilometers yesterday. #running #runnersofmastodon
This is a fantastic website full of running statistics from Adrien Friggeri, who has been running every day for more than ten years in a row. I love how all the statistics have been brought together in different graphs and data points.
I didn’t start running until I was in my late twenties, and even so I would end up in a pattern where I’d get motivated and go on a couple of runs, take a few days off, go on another run the following week, and next thing you know it’s been a month since I last run. Rinse and repeat.
In July 2015, something changed. I headed out on a run on a Tuesday, then did another one the next day, and the day after, and… I took the Friday off. When I woke up on July 11, 2015 I remember thinking I could have done 4 days in a row, so I set out to try and do that. 4 days turned into a week, then a month, then two, then six, then a year, and here I am, ten years later.
I wanted to go out for a nice 20-minute recovery run after yesterday’s 8-mile run. Unfortunately, there is too much water coming from the sky tonight. #runnersofmastodon #running
I headed out early this morning to beat the heat and hit the nearby track. With the sun already climbing, I did a challenging interval session: 20 sets of 30-second sprints with 1-minute rest in between. The shade at that time of day helped make it more doable. It was tough, but I felt great afterward!
