Dear reader,
Like many others in the (Western) World, I like to keep in a good physical shape. So I care about my nutrition (healthy and too much), don't smoke, drink alcoholic only occasionally and try to do my exercises, mostly jogging.
When I was young I started with speed skating, later cycling and as a student (already 30 years ago) jogging/running. Upto 2003 I ran 1-2 time a week, for about 5 - 10 km (3,5 - 7 miles). During that year many things happened in my live and I looked for a way to not only stay healthy, but also stay mentally well. And from the past I knew that lond distance running felt good. So I increased the number of training sessions and the distance as well.
So from 2003 I train 3 times a week, steadily increasing from 7,5 (5) to 10-11 km (7,5 - 8 miles)per training. Summing up the total during 2006 I made over 1500 km. In 2007 I was not able to do so much, because of an injury. I have/had heel spurs and nowadays I can cope with that and I'm very glad about that fact.
At some occasions each year I like to run events. From 7 - half marathon distance. On Dec 31 there is always a run close to my home town called the “oliebollen race”. 7,2 km cross country running. I have been participating 4 times in a row now and due to the changing weather conditions this time of the year, each year was different. Snow and ice, wind (almost storm) and rain, frost and warm temperatures.
