Runs the World
Recently I went on a well-deserved break to one of the Greek isles: Zakynthos. It’s not very big and you are nowhere allowed to drive faster than 50km/hr so definitely relaxing! We stayed in an off the beaten track apartment in the north of the island and we had a great time. And of course, after […]
Ever since I took up running I’ve run in Asics. The size is right and I like the cushioning. For many years I bought their GT2000 shoes and they served me well. Until my old ones had to be replaced and I went to the store to pick up a new pair. I didn’t give […]
I went to Dubai to speak at a conference and it was a really quick trip. When I arrived it was already dark. The taxi driver who drove me to the hotel pointed out a few of the sights but I mostly remember construction sites. It was late, but the temperature was nice and there […]
If you feel stuck at running at a particular speed and would like to increase your pace, I highly recommend interval training. Usually when I am in the gym on the treadmill I use that indoor exercise for interval training. My instructor has set up a schedule that takes me through different speeds between 8.5km/hr to […]
It’s getting cold where I live so that means soon I will have to get out my winter gear to run outside. I don’t particularly like running in the freezing cold but I’ve got to get the miles done and I don’t always want to go the gym. Once I read an article (can’t remember […]
Back in Spain for the 3rd time this year – I feel truly blessed! This time we’re celebrating my parents’ wedding anniversary. Instead of a present, we decided to give them a family trip so we’re here with all of team. And while it’s lovely to spend so much time with family, a girl’s gotta […]
One of my life long dreams came true: I finally visited the Grand Canyon. And though I was planning on a run, I decided it was just not practical: too many visitors and the path was just not wide enough to skirt around them all the time. So instead of making a nuisance of myself […]
On a work trip I spent a few nights in Jacksonville, Florida. I had hoped to schedule a run a the beach but unfortunately that did not happen. While i was there, there were thunderstorms every afternoon so it was hot and humid and I couldn’t go out for a run. So I had to […]
Another work trip and this time I’ve ended up in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. It’s north of Boston, but I won’t be able to visit the city this time around – it’s a quick trip in and out. I have been here before and used the hotel gym, simply because it is no fun (not to mention […]
When my sister told me she wanted to celebrate her birthday in Seville (Sevilla) it didn’t take me long to decide that was an excellent idea! After visiting Granada, I’d heard that the Palace in Seville is close in beauty, and of course the people from Sevilla claim the it’s better than the Alhambra. So […]
