It was more of a coincidence that i bumped into Lucerne Marathon last weekend. I visited my dear friend Alica and when we stepped out of the door on Sunday we wanted to get back in right away (and keep on watching tv shows in bed!). Don’t get me wrong– I like snow! But not the […]
The last day of our journey we spent on the Reykjanes peninsula and visited the geothermal fields of Krýsuvík one more time. But this time it wasn’t raining cats and dogs and we had a great view over Kleifarvatn and the sea. During our stay in Iceland we slowly got used to the pungent smell […]
Now it’s time to think big! After my half marathon and a week of easy workouts (squash, dancing, yoga) I start with a new training plan. My next aim is to run 10k in about 50-55 minutes. It will be a tough one because there will be more and more tempo runs next to my beloved […]

The last two days of our trip we spent in and around Reykjavik and started Day 7 with a walk on the northern bay. Besides Sólfar, an artistic viking boat, we visited […]

Here’s a little km report: (the race had a turning point at 10.5 km) km 0: […]
At this time tomorrow I will have finished my first half marathon! It’s hard to believe right now but this is the point of no return. I’m still not sure if I made the right choice of clothes but I liked running in them last autumn so they shouldn’t be too wrong for this occasion. […]
So this was pretty much the motto for Day 6: hello rain again! Those brave horsemen tried to defy the weather conditions in their fancy orange suits but either way I bet they got just as wet as we got later this day … From Selfoss we drove to the Reykjanes peninsula and made a […]
