Highs and lows, downs and ups, the Trail des Fantomes was riding on physical and mental waves of energy. 

My gluteus medius, the muscles on the side of my hips, are protesting. This is going to be an interesting race.

Rest or run? The trick of getting fitter is not in training harder, it’s in recovering smarter.

Running is so much easier with Sara on my side. I could have done this alone, but it’s more fun doing it together.

he Mighty Marathon was the start of a very, very busy summer; running-wise, working-wise. Five lessons learned.

Twenty three kilometers done. My feet are finally touching some asphalt instead of sinking away in mud.

I got my Bib number. Now I only need a race plan for the Mighty Marathon of tomorrow. A race plan and polenta.

Next week around this time I’ll be running the Mighty Marathon at the MUT Festival. My legs are ready for it.

Nine days to go to the MUT Festival. I am out for a run. My legs feel weird, maybe the strength training caused it.

Sara just ran a new PB on the 5 kilometers; 31 minutes and 13 seconds. That’s 59 seconds faster than han her old record!
