If someone told me 11 weeks ago that I would soon be running 10km in my free time and not actually dying afterward, I would have scoffed. In fact, I might have even laughed in their face. But yet, yesterday, that's exactly what we did. Although I haven't posted much...
Recently I spent a few days in Frankfurt a. Main on a trip to the "west" of Germany. Thankfully my hotel was close to the shores of the river Main which has running paths, uninterrupted by traffic lights for miles, along both sides. In fact, this stretch of asphalt is...
As you now know, Stefan and I started training for the Berlin Marathon 6 weeks ago and we are really enjoying running so far. It's the first "workout routine" that we've had which doesn't feel entirely like a workout or a major challenge to be completed on a regular...
